Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton Says the Iraq Insurgency Is Failing (She's Running for Something..)
Star Tribune/ Associated Press ^ | 2.19.05

Posted on 02/19/2005 2:30:39 PM PST by gopwinsin04

US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said today in Baghdad that a string of attacks killing more than 50 Iraqis in two days were failed attempts to sow sectarian strife and destablize the country.

Clinton and Sen. John McCain were part of a 5 member congressional delegation that met with US officials and members of Iraq's interim government.

Both Senators Clinton and McCain have historically been strident critics of the Pentagon's planning and management of the war in Iraq. But Clinton said Saturday that the Sunni Muslim insurgents were failing in their efforts to destabilize Iraq through sectarian violence.

Her comments came as numerous insurgent attacks across Iraq killed dozens of people as Shiite Muslim worshippers celebrated their holiest day of the year.

Clinton said insurgents had failed to disrupt Iraq's landmark January 30 elections, won by the Shiite clergy backed ticket.

'Not one polling place was shut down or overrun. The results of this election are a strong rebuke to those who did not believe that the Iraqi people would take this opportunity to demonstrate their own committment to their own future.'

McCain: Hillary Would Be Good President

Maverick Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday that his New York colleague, Sen. Hillary Clinton, would do well if she becomes president of the United States.

"I am sure that Senator Clinton would make a good president," McCain told NBC's "Meet the Press," as both he and Clinton were being interviewed from Baghdad.
