Yesterday, the Secretary of State Clinton's Daily Schedule stated that she had "No public appointments." I know that means PUBLIC and not necessarily "no appointments." But I was not prepared for her stealth visit to Iraq. The first thing I heard when I was waking up this morning was that she was in Iraq. Of course I know they never publicize these visits to war zones in advance, and I worried for her after the terrible attacks yesterday. Nevertheless, she entered in her typical Hillary fashion - she has a way with that gangplank - and greeted the guys on the tarmac in a way no male in her position could ever get away with.

From here, we have word that she is to move on to Kuwait. I am pretty sure she has left Iraq already. She looks very happy on this trip (as usual). She certainly can pack a lot into a week, a month, a hundred days. Amazing!
