I would like to take this moment to congratulate a very special ambassador serving this world, and that's Sen. Hillary Clinton for earning the right in being appointed to the Secretary of State position by President-elect Barack Obama.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former two-term First Lady (1993-2001) of President Bill Clinton, will leave her position as Senator in New York and return to Washington. She will be working on the front-lines of foreign affairs, where Condoleeza Rice left off as Secretary of State under President Bush, come January 20, 2009. Hillary will have to take on the tough doers in Iran, Russia, and North Korea, among other nations that currently threaten the world with possible nuclear weapons.
One of the first courses of action the Obama Administration have their eyes on is the transferring of US troops from Iraq to Afghanistan in 2009. You can expect Secretary of State-designate Hillary Clinton to play a major role in planning that strategic move into fruition.
There are also issues between Israel and Iran that need to be resolved, and let us not forget about Russia and Georgia. Another issue that needs to be tamed is the hijacking of ships on open seawaters by Somali pirates out of Africa.
You can also now add the conflict between India and Pakistan in there as a result of the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai.
There is a lot of turmoil currently on-going worldwide and Hillary Clinton is in my view the perfect diplomatic peacekeeper to render a global truce upon silencing escalation. I have faith that Hillary Clinton will serve the United States as Secretary of State with an aura of goodwill and dignified intelligence upon proving to be a global fortune.
