Hillary Clinton to visit Iraq AFP: 2/18/2005 BAGHDAD, Feb 18 (AFP) - US senator Hillary Clinton, wife of former president Bill Clinton, is expected in Baghdad on Saturday, a source at the US embassy said on Friday.

The source said the five-member delegation would hold talks with Iraqi government officials and members of the national assembly, whose makeup was confirmed Thursday by the electoral commission.

Heading the US delegation is John McCain, the Republican senator for Arizona and one-time rival of US President George W. Bush. McCain has been critical of the US administration's policies in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion.

The delegation also includes senators Russel Feingold, Susan Collins and Lindsey Graham.

Just what business does thunder thigh's have talking to foreign governments? Do these democrats think they are the representative government of the USA? I thought the elections made it clear just who talks for the USA the next 4 years.

Collins: "Hillary, can I carry your luggage? Please, please can I carry your luggage? I could empty your chamber pot too if you'd let me..."

Collins, snowe and mccain are disgusting. Why don't they just, ah never mind.

Oh I am sure that the troops are thrilled and just shaking in anticipation of the aprroaching visit by Fiengold and Hillary.

I tell you one thing us Rangers will never forget. It took three weeks for Three Dollar Bill Clinton to show up at Walter Reed to visit the soldiers injured in Somalia. Even then he had to be dragged almost kicking and screaming. I was one of those Rangers. Some of the guys refused to see him. I saw him, watched him squirm and make his lower lip tremble.
He could not get out of Walter Reed fast enough.

On the other hand, President Bush often visits injured soldiers and has been known to check up some of the ones he has met with phone calls. I would have been honored to have had this man pin my Purple Heart to my pillow. Clinton, I bored a hole through with my eyes.

Lindsey Graham has always been a horse trading moderate.

Hillry's running for prez, and her entourage knows she is the best way to get tv time.

Hillry needs travel time to claim credentials as a candidate, we'll be hearing about this trip for months to come..... Hillry's plan.

Got to wonder what new photos will be exhibited next few weeks from Iraq.

The sad thing and most notable about the press is that Hillary (a freshman senator) is the Headline, not McCain who was a prisoner of war for 10 years and a former presidential candidate.

When it comes to the troops?

Only when the camera is on!

Before 9/11 happened.....he was out horse trading with the rest of the RINOs.

He has, in the past, voted against military pay increases and quality of living funding.

He has also attacked family members of POWs when their organizations point out that evidence shows that POW's from Vietnam have not been accounted for!

And then there was his attacks on the Swift Boat Veterans.

My family was furious about how the Clinton goons treated the Rangers.

well I know many here don't give him a break, but he also was big enough to support Bush on the war and even to campaign for him which believe it or not brought in many moderates.....at least I think he is being genuine as opposed to a Dem who does everything for political gain only.....I do agree thought that McCain is a media hog
