Hillary Clinton promises new approach to diplomacy

Reporting from Washington -- Secretary of State-designate Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday promised a new diplomacy that would give America "more partners and fewer adversaries" and signaled her intention to reach out to Iran and continue the uphill struggle for Middle East peace.

At a five-hour Senate confirmation hearing, Sen. Clinton said she and President-elect Barack Obama would overhaul the approach of the Bush administration with a rejuvenated emphasis on diplomatic engagement, alliance-building and development.
