Assad a “reformer” – Is Hillary Clinton a moron?
No, she is not, but our secretary of State was certainly acting like an idiot when she branded Bashar Al-Assad a “reformer” on Sunday’s “Face the Nation,” that is unless she was going for laughs. The Assads, pere et fils, are reformers in the sense Pol Pot was a reformer. The major difference between the Alawite dictators and the Cambodian was the extent of their brutality. Not only that, Bashar is now allied with Iran, the nation, as we all know, whose religious fanatic leaders are busily trying to construct nuclear weapons.
So why did Clinton make such an insane statement? Well, my guess is the administration realizes they have a problem, having cherry-picked Gadaffi as the Middle Eastern despot target du jour. It’s bizarre to characterize the Libyan madman as “low-hanging fruit,” but that’s what he was, chosen to show the administration’s street cred as actual anti-totalitarians in the Islamic world. In reality, the administration is clueless and, worse than that, valueless.
I think some of this is just tap dancing. But I think Gaddafi is more than just low hanging fruit. The crazy man made a point of saying he would go house to house and kill people to “cleanse” his country. He is crazy enough to do that, especially if he thinks he can get away with it..I think there is some fear that if he does it, then it just that much more likely some of the other dictators in the region will do the same thing. I do think that Gaddafi is different for another reason, he has the blood of hundreds of Americans on his hands. He got away with murder and the one man convicted for that crime came home a hero..that is not right. It really is not right.
All of that may be true, Terrye. But Assad is far more dangerous because of the Iran connection. Follow the involvement of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Syria right now. THEY are killing demonstrators. This is serious stuff with global consequences.
But he’s right next door to Israel while Libya is relatively far away to do too much damage.
The problem with Syria is that Democrats, Pelosi during the Bush administration and Kerry more recently, have been snuggling up to Assad and trying to bribe him away from Iran. They have no idea what they are dealing with. I thought maybe he would be an improvement on his father when he first took over but that idea was long ago shown to be wishful thinking. If it looks like he is toppling, I am certain Iran will intervene, as they are now in small numbers.
Hillary is not a moron. She takes orders from the boss(Soros), just like Barry does.Iran and Syria are the backbone of the new caliphate. Iran and Syria will be protected at all costs. K-daffy is an independent nut, that’s why he is being targeted. As far as I’m concerned, the more AQ/muslim brotherhood types K-daffy kills, the better.
I am not surprised with Hillary’s comments, she knew all along about Bill’s escapades and put up with it for political gains. Just wait Madame secretary for the next offense from Syria. You & your president have sold your souls to the devil and are going around the world begging for Syria to speak to you, what a fake team. Elections are around the corner and I am so disappointed by the idealogy of this administration.
Do you remember the video of Mrs. Clinton, captured in a 7-11 which revealed she could not figure out how to work a simple coffee machine? I have watched children operate the same thing for their parents on a few occasions. The record suggests the Clintons are often given far too much credit – unfortunately by a number of conservatives. Yet, there exists a great deal of evidence which suggests the Clintons are ‘not so savvy’. Their lies are often so obvious, they not only project a rather insulting view of the audience, they suggest a rather poorly conceived insight. You have to be a little dim, to believe someone would not check the record about “dodging sniper fire” or bombed buildings in Ireland. Remember, Mrs. Clinton actually stood in front of one of the most famous Religious artifacts in Mexico and asked “who painted it”? That is not a sign of brilliance – even if someone is not up to date with their information, a wise person seeks the intel prior to the meeting, especially when cameras are expected. The reality is, the Clintons decided to hide the truth about the genocide in Rwanda. This was not a sign of intelligence either. A rather crude, dumb way of handling this horrific event, to avoid any political responsibility. Hillary Clinton once foolishly announced to the world the Obama Administration was not going to focus on ‘human rights’ on her very first public venture as Sec. of State while visiting China. Perhaps this was another sign of pure sophistry, as Mrs. Clinton was probably given this message to be passed along in private. The hubris of the early days of ‘smart power’ was so overt, it was clear no one involved was thinking too wisely. Anyone could have predicted the tiresome bragging and partisan diatribe would only encourage an eventual backlash. Perhaps this hyper Partisan garbage, similarly provided by Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Schumer, etc., is more than just deep insecurity and is really a product of a lack of genuine intelligence. Perhaps much of the ugly partisan fraud, deceit, corruption, etc., stemming from the Democratic Party masks a complete lack of insight as a whole. How else can we explain the endless number of disastrous policies? We often rush to assume the poor offering, like Hillary’s disastrous effort to Nationalize Our Health Care, is merely a product of a corrupt political machine. However, the absurd content of Hillary’s own effort in regard to Health Care Reform revealed vast ignorance about so many things. Maybe it is just as dumb as it all seems.
Why use “pere et fils”? It is not an French emotion that has no English equivalent. Wouldn’t “father and son” work just as well.
Hillary is feminism in all of it’s divisive, double-standard promoting glory. She no more belongs in the lofty position of our Secretary of State than I do, but at least I admit it. Putting gender in authority to fulfill a doctrine is foolish anyway. Putting HILLARY in that position is totally moronic.
