Secretary Clinton is at The Hague in the Netherlands for today’s international conference on Afghanistan. She will not be having any “substantive” discussions with Iranian officials there, but they did share a conference table earlier today.
On another note, Clinton has said the phrase, “war on terror,” is finished. The Associated Press reports that on her way to The Hague she said:
“The [Obama] administration has stopped using the phrase, and I think that speaks for itself.”
Clinton is in the Netherlands, so, of course, I have to include this photo with tulips:
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrives on March 31 with Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen for the start of the international conference on Afghanistan in The Hague. Afghanistan’s international backers, including Iran, are gathering to try to bring new impetus to efforts to combat the Taliban-led insurgency, help spread democracy, and rebuild.
