The Baghdad Primary: Hillary’s trip to Baghdad
Anyone who doubted that Hillary is seriously considering a run for the White House next year isn’t paying attention. Her Thanksgiving trip to Iraq and Afghanistan once again upstaged the 9 Democrats running for the Democratic Party nomination for president.

In a report, NewsMax states:
"Clinton said she told the troops, 'Americans are wholeheartedly proud of what you are doing but there are many questions at home about the [Bush] administration's policies.'
She also suggested that the U.S. could eventually lose the war in Iraq, contending, 'We have to exert all of our efforts militarily, but the outcome is not assured.'
Despite her sour pronouncements, the former first lady insisted that the soldiers were just as glad to see her as they were President Bush, whose surprise visit less than 24 hours earlier was greeted with standing ovations.
'It's a positive for the commander in chief to visit troops in the field,' Clinton told reporters, adding, 'the troops [also] seemed to appreciate seeing myself.'"
- Hillary may think highly of herself and her ‘popularity,’ but others disagree:
"I think they're more excited about [meeting] Geraldo."
-Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty told the Boston Globe, referring to the Fox News Channel correspondent who covered Clinton's visit with the troops at Bagram Air base.

And to show how much she is in fact already running against President Bush, look how desperate she was not to be upstaged by his Baghdad trip:
NewsMax reported:
Hillary in Frantic Bid to Outdo Bush in Baghdad
Upstaged by President Bush's amazing Thanksgiving Day visit with U.S. troops in Baghdad, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton seemed frantic on Friday to meet with more soldiers than Bush had seen during his appearance at the city's airport-turned-military base, and to be seen doing so in less-protected circumstances.
"At the moment, she is on a visit with a military division outside the security zone," Clinton's spokeswoman told Agence France-Press Friday afternoon, Iraq time...
The scene had to rankle the former first lady.
Her own trip to Afghanistan yesterday was dramatically overshadowed by the president's bombshell visit...
With European press accounts describing Sen. Clinton as Bush's "undeclared Democratic opponent," she seemed determined to repair the damage, embarking on her whirlwind tour of Baghdad in an apparent bid to show that she was at least as big a military morale booster as the president.
