"...am glad to see a prominent US Senator visiting our troops in Afghanistan..."


Maybe so, but couldn't someone besides the junior senator from New York have been the one to visit the troops? Clearly, this trip was not done to boost the morale of the troops, but to further her career. And for all we know, OTHER (and more senior) senators would like to have gone (and been willing to do so), but were told, "Sorry, but Senator Clinton is going and we don't want anyone taking the spotlight from her."

Just a guess on my part. It appears EVERYONE is supposed to step aside when Hillary Clinton wants something.

You’ve got that right! "They" picked poor, yes-man Senator Reed to stand in her shadow. I wonder how John Warner handled this, as it is he who should have gone. It was a photo-op and advertisement for the Poster gal for the United Nations, not for American service men/women and I suspect they know it! She sure doesn't represent Americans or America.
