As Hillary departs for the Balkans on their anniversary day causing a little tug at my heartstrings, her agenda there is being painted broadly as a follow-up to Bill’s Presidential mission. Happy Anniversary to a beautiful couple, and Godspeed Mme. Secretary on your mission.
PREVIEW-Hillary Clinton takes on Balkan puzzle

By Andrew Quinn WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton travels to the Balkans on Monday, seeking to buttress the fragile peace that was one of her husband’s chief foreign policy achievements as president. Clinton will urge reconciliation for Bosnia, Serbia and Kosovo, which battled through the collapse of Yugoslavia in the 1990s and dominated the news when former U.S. President Bill Clinton was in office. For Hillary Clinton the Balkan puzzle is a familiar challenge — although it is now she, and not her husband, who speaks for Washington as it attempts to bring the unstable region more closely into Europe’s fold. “She is on a family mission that hasn’t been completed yet,” said Janusz Bugajski, director of the New European Democracies project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. “They will not be able to say mission accomplished until all the loose ends are accounted for.”

I hope there is headway made.
Why is she never allowed to be home on her anniversary? Do they think it’s unprofessional or something. What’s so bad about her getting a nice meal and a glass of wine or two with the man she’s been married to for 35 years? I’ll bet there would be hell to pay if the others in the administration celebrated the anniversary of their marriage by leaving the country on business without their spouse.

I am sure that her long history there with folks in leadership positions will be helpful. two
I know, it would be lovely for these two dedicated public servants to have the actual evening of their anniversary together. Perhaps they celebrated over the weekend.
Her birthday is coming. Last year she went to Palistan on her birthday. and they greeted her with the market bombing. I guess her work comes first.
