Hillary Clinton Goes to Baghdad

By: Danny Dierdorff
In a report from CNN Secretary of State Clinton made a surprise visit to Baghdad, even after the recent attacks that killed around 160 people. Clinton is convinced that the attacks doesn't take away from the the strides Iraq has made in security. This visit isn't that important because for the last few years we have heard the same thing over and over. Plus I feel that this is a tactic to show that they don't need America in Iraq anymore. I am starting to agree that the Iraqis are making strides but I don't know if saying when we are going to leave is the right idea. Obviously the war has lost support by the American people and it is time for the soldiers to come home but these visit are more for publicity than anything else. Like this article says the string of bombings raises eyebrows about the timetable set forth by the Obama administration.
