Hillary Blasts Bush as 'Incompetent'
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton slammed President Bush as "incompetent" on Monday, just hours after the Bush administration successfully handed over sovereignty in Iraq to Iraqi authorities.
"I think the administration has been both wrongheaded and incompetent and should not be rewarded," Clinton told reporters, after a speech at Panetta Institute of Public Policy in Monterey Bay, Calif.

In other comments picked up by the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Mrs. Clinton complained:
That the Bush administration failed to plan adequately for postwar Iraq.
That the transfer of power in Iraq was a "positive step," but it was too soon to know whether it would defuse violence in Iraq.
Mrs. Clinton also insisted that she wasn't thinking about a presidential run anytime soon, telling the Salinas Californian, "Oh please! I have a job right now that I'm very happy doing."
She insisted that though Sen. Kerry was leading Bush in some polls, "I am not interested in being considered" as Kerry's running mate.
A poll taken by the Frank Luntz Research Group last month showed that Democrats still prefer Sen. Clinton as their party's presidential nominee, with her leading Sen. Kerry 47 to 44 percent. Another survey two weeks ago had them neck and neck.
