Clinton: U.S. stands by Iraqis, withdrawal on track By Matthew Lee Associated Press writer

BAGHDAD — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton tried to reassure nervous Iraqis that the U.S. won’t abandon them, even as she said the American troop withdrawal would stay on schedule despite a recent surge in violence. On her first visit to Baghdad as chief U.S. diplo- mat, Clinton said Saturday that Washington remains committed to moving U.S. soldiers out of urban areas by June 30 and pulling out combat troops from the country by 2011. “Our strategy in working with you may be in a new phase,but we pledge our full and continuing commit- ment to Iraq and the Iraqi people,’’ she told a news conference after meeting Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari. “As we drawn down mili- tarily we will deepen our civilian cooperation,’’ Clinton said, standing beside Zebari in an auditori- um at the Foreign Ministry. The withdrawal will pro- ceed in a “responsible and careful way,’’ she said, and would not affect efforts to improve Iraq’s security forces, or complete recon- struction and development projects. Zebari welcomed Clinton’s “very assuring message that the United States would continue to support the efforts of the Iraqi government and the enhancement of Iraqi secu- rity and stability.’’ He said Iraqi authorities wanted to ensure there is “no vacu- um’’when U.S.troops leave. Clinton made clear, how- ever, that Iraqis and their security forces in particular need to overcome sectarian and other differences if they are to build a united, secure nation, she said. Suicide bombings Thursday and Friday that primarily targeted Shiite worshippers killed more than 150 people, many of them Iranian pilgrims. The second attack, at a revered Baghdad tomb, was the sin- gle deadliest bombing in the country this year. “I condemn these violent recent efforts to disrupt the progress that Iraq is mak- ing,’’ Clinton said, claiming the attacks were a sign that extremists are afraid Iraq’s government is succeeding. 5RKMGKPXKQNGPEG Iraqi deaths have been on the rise this year, particularly those due to suicide attacks.

It wasn’t a conference game, but it sure carried the feel. The Twin Falls softball team clawed its way back from a six-run deficit in the opening game of Saturday’s doubleheader with visiting Wood River, rallying to score three times in the bottom of the eighth for a 12-11 win. Kalli McBride’s two-run eighth- inning double plated the winning runs and sent the Bruins on to a sweep, winning the second game 11- 1 in six innings.

hen you’re raised by a parent who’s a public school teacher, it’s a given that W you’ll be saddled with high academic expectations. My mother, an elementary school teacher, did all she could in our house to promote liter- ature, homework and my participation in par- ent-teacher conferences. But one of her cri- tiques, made while I was in college, still nee- dles me to this day. “Your handwriting,”she mumbled one day after perusing a handwritten note, “just might be the worst in the family.” Painfully enough, she was right. Among five children, including two left-handers and two brothers SPILT who never write ASHLEY SMITH/Times-News cursive, I was offi- MILK Jill, a Twin Falls woman, pauses while discussing the hardships her meth addiction placed on her family, while her son, Chanse, looks on Tuesday. Jill’s story of cially dead last. conquering the addiction is a success; she has been off drugs for more than eight years. There are a few David reasons to explain Cooper it. For starters, there’s my profes- sion. In more than two decades of watching reporters and reading their notes, I’m sure bad or bizarre handwriting is a prerequisite for a job in journalism. Take, for example, investigative reporter When Jack Anderson. When the Pulitzer-winning muckraker died a few years ago, the Federal Bureau of Investigation demanded to see his personal files archived at George Washington University. But what files the G-Men did get their hands on, they couldn’t decipher. His records were written in a slanted Arabic-style script that stumped even his own children. This leads me to my own progeny.
