Hillary Rebuked by Iraqi Leader
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has caused an international incident after she criticized Iraq's leading candidate to become prime minister as a result of last month's historic election, prompting a sharp rebuke.
"Hillary Clinton, as far as I know, does not represent any political decision or the American administration, and I don't know why she said this," Dr. Ibrahim Jafari, who is expected to become prime minister, told the Times of London on Thursday.
"She knows nothing about the Iraqi situation," he added.
During an interview last Sunday, Clinton complained about Jafari's nomination by the duly elected Shia coalition.
"I think that there are grounds both for concern and for, you know, vigilance about this," she told NBC's "Meet the Press." "It is a historical fact that he, along with the Dawa Party, have had connections with Iran . . . There are also family ties and religious ties."
The comments angered Dr. Jafari, a physician from Karbala who fled to Iran only after Saddam Hussein had members of his party killed. He blasted Mrs. Clinton as ill-informed.
"We are not at an American traffic light to be given a red or green signal," Jafari told the Times. "I am speaking on behalf of a collective decision. I will stop when the Iraqi people say to stop."
The Bush administration has not expressed concerns similar to Mrs. Clinton's, said the New York Sun, which first reported Dr. Jafari's comments in the U.S.

Even the Iraqis can't stand Hillary! I find that humorous.
This idiot would be an international disaster for the US should she ever be elected President.
Still the libs say she's Presidential material...
Hey, I already like this Jafari guy!

Hahaha, finally someone who won't bow and scrape to Hill.
Did you notice that ever present (((you know))) in her remarks? Hasn't anyone had the guts to tell her to weed it out of her vocabulary?
Well, at least we can count on the Iraqis to help us pull off a "regime change" in the event Hitlery ever becomes president....
Turnabout is fair play.
Semper Fi
What a slap to her big ugly face.
Way to go, you bigmouth bitch.
Ah, the Hillary "you know" rears its ugly head again. Good to see she still manages to throw them around from time to time. It assures me that she is still a PR nightmare when unscripted, and makes me think that she'll never survive a national campaign.
So does this mean that the new Iraqi government isn't going to be a puppet of Dubya's after all?
The MSM would be in full attack mode.
Jafari pwned Hillary.... Classic...
I so desparately want to see him quoted in the MSM.
That would be fantastic.
LOL
Hey! She's the smartest "woman" in America!!! LOL
Sorry....I didn't see it posted before. Besides, the Newsmax article that was posted is an excerpt. The article, in its entirety, is in the Sun, which I included.
You mean we can't have more fun with Hillary?
