Secretary Clinton and Escort Meet Saudi King Abdullah and Lebanese PM Hariri

Last night, Secretary Clinton met with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Saudi Kig Abdullah at the Plaza in New York City. My kind and generous readers Lilly and Rachel shared an article and some pictures that I could not make visible on the thread. Since the Secretary was accompanied on this visit by her best fella, (and also because posting the pictures here is the only way I can make them visible), I decided they merited a post of their own. Enjoy. As I type, Mme. Secretary is en route to the Persian Gulf.











Here is the article Rachel shared.

Clintons congratulate king

Here is another that I found.

Sunday in Lebanon

Hillary spent Sunday in Lebanon.



US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shakes hands with Lebanese parliamentary majority leader Saad Hariri as they visit the tomb of his father, slain former premier Rafiq Hariri (picture), in Beirut on April 26, 2009. Clinton made an unannounced visit to Lebanon as the country readies for parliamentary elections that could see the militant group Hezbollah and its allies emerge victorious. Clinton's hours-long trip is seen as a bid to bolster the current pro-US majority in parliament ahead of the June 7 vote.
