DO WE HAVE A SECRETARY OF STATE? Where, Oh Where, Is Hillary? Come to think of it, we haven?t ?

DO WE HAVE A SECRETARY OF STATE? Where, Oh Where, Is Hillary?

Come to think of it, we haven?t seen or heard from her since the Flight 253 bombing attack. Nada on the issue of the State Department?s own role in the security debacle that allowed the Christmas Day bomber to get onto the plane. (As Elliott Abrams noted, ?His multiple-entry visa to the U.S. was not canceled by State, not even after his own father alerted U.S. Embassy officials in Nigeria of the danger he might present.?) And not a peep on Iran. The ?Where in the World is the Secretary? locator (I am not making this up) on the State Department website puts her in the environs of Washington D.C.

Maybe she is hiding at home, assuming, correctly, that anyone who shows up on camera (e.g., Janet Napolitano, the president) gets savaged. Maybe she is the fall-gal when we get the ?how we messed up? report.

Maybe.
