(2003-11-26) -- U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton announced today that, as part of a fact-finding mission to Afghanistan and Iraq, she would sing in a USO show to entertain American troops.

New York's junior Senator is scheduled to make a cameo appearance to sing a medley of patriotic favorites like 'This is My Country,' 'America the Beautiful' and 'God Bless America'.

A spokesman for the touring USO company said, "Mrs. Clinton's sole reason for making this trip is to encourage our men and women fighting for freedom from tyranny and terror. We were thrilled to honor her request to sing for the troops. Rumor has it that her voice is a dead ringer for Kate Smith."
