Clinton heads to Asia for Afghan talks as U.S. fears grow

Updated 7/17/2010 8:19 PM ET

WASHINGTON (AP) — As concerns grow about the war in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is heading to South Asia on a mission aimed at refining the goals of the nearly 9-year-old conflict.

U.S. lawmakers are increasingly questioning the course of the war. The number of soldiers from the U.S. and other countries in the international coalition in Afghanistan is on the rise. Corruption is a deep problem in Afghanistan, and members of Congress wonder about the utility of massive aid to both Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Clinton will attend an international conference in Kabul on Tuesday where the Afghan government is expected to outline plans to improve security, reintegrate militants into society and crack down on corruption. She also plans to stop in Pakistan to push greater cooperation between Islamabad and Kabul.

Clinton, who left Washington on Saturday, will meet up in the week ahead with Defense Secretary Robert Gates in South Korea, where tensions with the communist North have risen after the sinking of a South Korean warship that was blamed on the North.

She will finish her trip in Vietnam for discussions with regional leaders. Among the topics will be the upcoming elections in Myanmar.

What a phenomenal leader!   Just about the only shining star in DC.

I worry so much about Hillary when she travels to that part of the world! I've already lit my candles and said my prayers, yet I'll feel a lot better when she returns home.

BTW, Greta Van Susteran has gone with her-- this is according to Greta's tweets. They were still en route last time I checked.

I don't worry those Countries know that an attack on Clinton is an act of war. Remember she is NOT just the SOS she is one of America's Treasures because she was first Lady. We would go to war real quick if anything happened to her
