Why would she want to start all over again with another humongous bureaucracy? The answer can be found in one word: resources. The State Department is always the poor cousin when it comes to foreign intervention. State is starved for money; the Pentagon is awash in money, and therefore influence. When Clinton travels to Afghanistan, the voice that matters most is not hers, but that of Gates. With one war winding down and another scheduled to begin winding down, the Defense post is at the epicenter of policy and politics.Hillary Clinton can handle any situation perfectly. She is a power house and highly respected by everybody. More grease to her elbow. My regards to her husband. God bless.

August 22 2010 at 4:37 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down ReplyHillary Clinton has been doing a splendid job and I'd wish her the best in any of her future endeavours. Susan Walsh, AP, took a beautiful picture of Hillary.
August 22 2010 at 12:30 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWhere is Hillary on Iran nukes? Where is she on protecting the border? Where is her support for Israel? Where is she on North Korea? Where is she on the Mosk at ground zero? She is just out giving away money that the US doesn't have to give. Her silence makes her a accomplice to the lack of leadership the Obama has not provided.

I wonder,how she would have done as President since Obama hasnt made all that much "change" as I would have hoped for, we still have a huge debt and not enough jobs.

October 06 2010 at 1:57 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI do not see Hilliary as an effective Defense Secretary. If she is supposedly (and I contest this) doing a "glowing job" as Sec. of State, why would the president want to move her to another new job? If Hillary is certain that Osama Bin Lauden is in Pakistan AND that Pakistan officials know his whereabouts, how can she see fit to give millions dollars in free aid to Pakistan. Is it appropriate to help those who give security to your enemies during two simulateous wars? Wake up!
August 19 2010 at 7:39 PM Report abuse Permalink +5 rate up rate down ReplyHillary Clinton is no more indispensable then a pair of old sneakers. She and her husband have been recipients of the government coffers for way too long. All she is now is a pawn in a game to keep Obama in office for another term and this country would be much worse for wear if that happens. Gates needs to be replaced by someone that has experience in the Defense world. Not by someone who's husband dodged the draft. This is not bashing anyone. This is just a matter of fact and one person's opinion.
