A US Congressional delegation that included Senators John McCain and Hillary Rodham Clinton visited Iraq Saturday and met with the country's interim government leaders.

 

Addressing the press, Hillary said Sunni "insurgents" were failing.

 

"In addition, the concerted effort to disrupt the elections was an abject failure, not one polling place was shut down or overrun and the fact that you have these suicide bombers now, wreaking such hatred and violence while people pray, is to me, an indication of their failure," she said.

 

Besides Hillary and McCain, the three other members of the delegation were Susan Collins, Graham and Russ Feingold.
