Hillary Clinton met with a leader from a new government formed in the wake of disputed election results ... yes, that was yesterday when she met with Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan. Today, though, she met with William Hague from the rock-solid Lib-Con British coalition government – and they also discussed Afghanistan.
Anyway, according to the transcript of the press conference, Clinton was asked by the BBC:
Q: Is there any part of you that's worried about possible fractures in a coalition government, something very unusual in Britain, leading to a lack of solidity in your relationship with Britain and the degree to which you can rely on Britain as a partner?
A: Well, as to the first question, the answer is no. I have absolutely no concerns whatsoever. We don't formally have a coalition government in the way that you have formed one in the UK now, but we have enough of our own internal differences that we have to sort through. So I see nothing at all unusual about this new government. And from our perspective, it is off to a very strong start. And certainly on the foreign-policy front, which I follow very closely, obviously, we are extremely pleased. And this meeting and discussion just confirms our close partnership and our commitment to working together.
That's cleared that up. Otherwise not much happened, as is usually the case in these meeting, no matter who's in power.
