KIRKUK, Iraq (AP) -- U.S. senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Jack Reed met in this oil-rich northern city Saturday with local officials who urged the visitors to raise the problems of their city with U.S. officials back home.

After the 90-minute private meeting, Kirkuk's governor Abdel-Rahman Mustafa said the senators were briefed on the severe economic problems and high unemployment facing the city.

Two questions:

1) Why is she over there in the first place?

2) Who's paying for her trip?

The security isn't the only thing thats tight. Hillary looks like she's added about 20 pounds to her already obese calorie filled body.

There is no way in hell that the thing on the left is presidential material.

Thats a good question. I believe its only direct military commanders. Example the President. He CAN tell her to go to hell.

Other articles quoted her as saying "the troops were glad to see myself".

#1: Bad grammer

#2: She's supposed to be happy to see the troops, not the other way around

#3: She's just proven yet again that with the Clintons it's all about me, myself and I.

Caption: "How many soldiers were killed in the area while I was here?"

"None, Senator."

"Rats, I'll never get any media coverage at this rate!"

A steady and reliable supply of lowcost oil ensures a steady and reliable supply of black polyester pantsuits.

What the hell else can she do after so many years of feeding off the public trough?

re: your 2 questions; I've two of my own...

Since the Constitution expressly forbids States to beseech or enact separate treaties (or other diplomatic efforts) in such a way as to show a divided front (where the Nation is/should be represented by the federal government as represented by POTUS and the State Dept), does not this woman's shilling clearly represent an illegal act?

Does she work for, or represent, the State Dept? No.

Has she been appointed by the President to represent the interests of the United States? No.

(all right, that was 3 questions... but I answered two of them)
