Hillary Clinton follows Bush to Baghdad

Her thunder had been stolen by US President George W Bush, but former US first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton nevertheless kept her date with American troops in Iraq.

The senator arrived in Baghdad on Friday after sharing Thanksgiving dinner with US troops in Afghanistan on Thursday.

She was accompanied by fellow senator Jack Reed (Rhode Island) on the scheduled visit .

Meanwhile, Bush is back in the US. He is expected to spend some time in his ranch in Crawford, Texas.
