BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- As 55 people died in Iraq on Saturday, the holiest day on the Shiite Muslim religious calendar, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said that much of Iraq was "functioning quite well" and that the rash of suicide attacks was a sign that the insurgency was failing.

Clinton, a New York Democrat, said insurgents intent on destabilizing the country had failed to disrupt Iraq's landmark Jan. 30 elections.

"The concerted effort to disrupt the elections was an abject failure. Not one polling place was shut down or overrun," Clinton told reporters inside the U.S.-protected Green Zone, a sprawling complex of sandbagged buildings surrounded by blast walls and tanks. The zone is home to the Iraqi government and the U.S. Embassy.

The five-member U.S. congressional delegation arrived in Baghdad as a series of suicide bombings and explosions killed 55 people, including an American solder. Much of the violence was aimed at Shiite Muslims, commemorating Ashoura, the festival marking the 7th century death of a leader of their sect.

"The fact that you have these suicide bombers now, wreaking such hatred and violence while people pray, is to me, an indication of their failure," Clinton said.

The senate delegation included Republicans John McCain of Arizona, Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Wisconsin Democrat Russ Feingold.

So, President Bush was right on Iraq? Don't all you Democrats trample each other lining up to publicly apologize to the president! Looks like Senator Clinton is seeking the nomination for the White House in 2008, why else such a hard-right tack? Sorry, 'thunder-thighs', the American people(except for the cretins that voted for Francois Heinz-Kerry) aren't fooled by your pathetic attempt to paint yourself as a faux conservative. Nice try, Shrillary....

Well, she didn't swim to Iraq.

[Wolfhound777]

The beast will say anything in order to sound more moderate for her run at the Presidency.

(shocker--next pigs will fly)

Does anyone have a picture of Hillary flapping her wings?

[Deetes]

Billery trying to be positive . This is scary a Rat with brains. I doubt she will be able to keep it up though.

[GeronL]

2008 Dem ticket= Hillary/McCain

vs

2008 GOP ticket= McCain/Hillary

[Paleo Conservative]

Do you really think McCain is stupid enough to pick Hillary as VP? What do you think his life expectancy would be?

[ryan71]

I'll bet she's been studying Margaret Thatcher.

As she goes further toward the center, I wonder if her loony left fan club will agree? I think they will.

She'll show the media her new ideas and show the left her real ones behind closed doors.

Dude, you must have missed my memo...

[GeronL]

That would depend on her position on abortion and Israel

[GeronL]

McCain said she would make a good President

[AnnaZ]

When the shrill democrats have to finally admit this even in the face of main stream press refusing to report the good news, you know the the jig is up for the nay-sayers.

Shrillery can see the train leaving the station and she is bound to be on it, even if she has to crawl out of her own skin to do so.

A guy driving home from work in NYC suddenly came to a halt on the highway. He flags a cop and asks “What’s the problem”?

The cop says that Hillary Clinton was so depressed that she had her motorcade stop in the middle of traffic and is threatening to douse herself with gas and set herself on fire. She’s tired of all the jokes about her, Bill’s cheating, and people telling her to forget about her presidential run in 2008. “So we’re taking up a collection for her.”

The man says: “Really? How much have you raised so far?”

The cop replied: “Only about 4 gallons…but, a lot of folks are still siphoning!”

Who says McCain is capable of making that decision.

Condi: Why I Support the Second Amendment

Secretary of State nominee Dr. Condoleezza Rice is a big supporter of the
second amendment, a commitment cultivated during her days growing up in
Bull Conner's Birmingham, Alabama, when the shotgun wielded by her father
was often the only thing that stood between her family and the Ku Klux
Klan.

In 1963, racial violence was "turning her hometown into 'Bombingham' as
Alabama’s governor George Wallace fought a federal court order to
integrate the city’s schools," writes Rice biographer Antonia Felix.

In excerpts of her book "The Condoleezza Rice Story," reprinted in the
London Sunday Times, Felix recounts:

"With the bombings came marauding groups of armed white vigilantes called
'nightriders,' who drove through black neighborhoods shooting and starting
fires. [Condi's father] John Rice and his neighbors guarded the streets at
night with shotguns.

"The memory of her father out on patrol lies behind Rice’s opposition to
gun control today. Had those guns been registered, she argues, Bull Connor
would have had a legal right to take them away, thereby removing one ofthe
black community’s only means of defense."

"I have a sort of pure second amendment view of the right to bear arms,"
said the future Secretary of State.

"The concerted effort to disrupt the elections was an abject failure. Not one polling place was shut down or overrun,"

which he followed up with "but at least we tried".
