Clinton in Texas Today

Hillary Clinton has stepped off the campaign trail for just a moment, as she flew in to San Antonio Texas today to attend the opening of a new military medical facility. Clinton was accompanied by Republican front runner, John McCain.

This morning Clinton addressed the annual board meeting of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, in an effort to attract their support for her campaign.

Clinton concluded her tour of Iowa yesterday, where she spoke in Davenport. Over 500 people greeted her at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds, followed by another gathering at the Davenport Central High School.

As opposed to Saturday, where it was reported that she was dogged by many questions on the Iraq issue, and her previous stance on it, Clinton came out firing on Sunday. Clever strategy.

Clinton called on President Bush to extricate America from Iraq before the end of his Presidency. She said that it was Bush's decision to go to war with an ill conceived plan, and she resents the fact that he is saying that the next President will also have to deal with the problem of Iraq.

She repeated her statement that she would not have voted in favour of the Iraq war in 2002, if she had known all the facts. But she again stopped short of saying that her vote was a mistake.
