Hillary Distances Herself From Obama Over Iraq, Iran, Syria, Russia, The IRS And NSA

Tyler Durden's picture




 

You name the Obama administration scandal/screw-up and Hillary Clinton is distancing herself from it as she prepares to run in 2016 on a clean slate of 'well, I would have done it better/different'. As Reuters reports, recent interviews on Fox and CNN show her claiming she tried but failed to persuade Obama to arm the rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad; that NSA spying was "absolutely uncalled for"; and that "changes need to be made at the IRS" seemingly disagreeing with Obama's claims that it was a "phony scandal." With friends (party colleagues) like this, who needs enemies.

 

As Reuters reports,

Potential Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton pointed out her differences with President Barack Obama on Tuesday...

Syria/Iraq

The former secretary of state said she, along with the then heads of the Pentagon and CIA tried but failed to persuade Obama to arm the rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, but that the White House resisted.

 

"It's very difficult, in retrospect, to say that would have prevented this," she said. She said it is too soon to tell whether American policy in Syria was a failure.

Iran and Russia

The former secretary of state, senator and first lady has been offering views that differ from Obama's on foreign policy in recent months, including on issues such as Iran's nuclear program and dealings with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

NSA

Clinton also said German Chancellor Angela Merkel had every right to be upset with disclosures that the National Security Agency had listened in on her cellphone as part of its large-scale surveillance of electronic communications in Germany.

 

"It was absolutely uncalled for," Clinton said, adding "That has nothing has to do with Angela Merkel's cellphone, and that should be off limits."

IRS

Fox News also asked Clinton about accusations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted the tax status of organizations with names linked to the conservative Tea Party movement and if she agreed with Obama's characterization that it was a "phony scandal."

 

"I think that any time the IRS is involved for many people it's a real scandal," she said. "And I think, though, that there are some changes that rightly need to be made to what is being said and I assume that the inquiry will continue.

With party colleagues and friends like this, who needs enemies...

Of course, other political allies are riding to Obama's defense... (via The Hill)

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Republicans are wrong for blaming President Obama for the civil war in Iraq.

 

“This is an Iraqi civil war, and it’s time for the Iraqis to solve it themselves,” Reid said on the Senate floor Wednesday morning. “Those who say President Obama pulled troops from Iraqi too quickly are wrong and out of step with the rest of America. … It’s not worth the blood of the U.S. soldiers and the money of U.S. taxpayers.”

She's got too much history and it's all bad. Nobody would care except she's still being touted for 2016 for some reason (scraping the bottom of the barrel). Seriously how fu is that? Hitlery as prez would be another 4 yrs of bad entertainment and that's about all it would be.

But from one perspective that would be good.

I want to watch the interview where Bill's new squeeze is wiping away the drool from the side of Hillary's mouth that isn't frozen from that stroke she so richly deserves.

Paul Tsongas (who ran against Bill Clinton in the first primaries) called Billy boy a "pander bear", as Bill shape shifted his way up the popularity ladder, telling everyone exactly what they wanted to hear.

 

Looks like Hillary was taking notes...

She was a hell of a commodity trader in her day........margin calls were never met then and the Reg T on the United States won't be met either.

I don't know a single person that would vote for her but maybe I don't get out much.  At least not among the Free Shit Army.

Yeah like:

1. A lightning strike
2. Three out of four engines fall off of her airplane
3. She makes a public announcement that she has syphilis
4. Cables break and brakes fail on a elevator she is on
5. She has a brain aneurysm
6. She gets Ebola
7. She gets hanta
8. Somebody makes a voodoo doll and sews her lips shut

Speaking of the NSA, this former Navy Seal and CEO came up with this Smartphone that is alledgedly NSA-proof. 

 

The Smartphone Even The NSA May Have Trouble Hacking Is Coming Soon

Demand for such a device certainly ramped up after Edward Snowden began leaking top-secret documents detailing NSA surveillance programs, but Silent Circle had been working on the device long before.

"We did this because there was a problem that was not being solved: secure communications," CEO Mike Janke, a former Navy SEAL, told AFP in January.

With Janke leading the company, Silent Circle's team includes a number of cryptographic experts. including Phil Zimmermann, the creator of the widely-used PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) standard.

The company has taken great pains to ensure it could not give up user data, even if compelled to by a government. While many U.S. companies receive controversial national security letters forcing them to share customer info, Silent Circle is incorporated in Switzerland and has Swiss data centers.

So who did arm the Syrian rebels? Who had the money, the weapons, the logistical means, and the very considerable clout to arm thousands of men under the nose of well, almost everybody. Take a look at Syria on the map. Israel didn't know these weapons were pouring in? Jordan? Turkey?

Nobody knew? Or was it no one objected? Why no objections? They knew how the weapons were going to be used.

Was it the KSA that was providing most of the money and arms, with Jordan and/or Israel as conduits? The US can always have their share contributed through indirect channels.

Whether it's Egypt's military or mystery armies appearing out of the desert, I think we know the source of the money/weapons and who has to approve it. There's also a theme here. Quadafi and Assad dictators. Morsi and Malaki were elected. But all four had something in common. Too independent.

"Update, 6 pm 6/18: I asked Kevin Schaul, who built this quiz to aggregate 20,000 responses -- a sample of the massive total number of submissions -- into a heat map. He did. Just more than 400 people (two percent) came within 10 miles of the actual location of Benghazi."

 

"Original Post

Benghazi -- and the attacks that occurred there on Sept. 11, 2012 -- is back in the news with the capture of Ahmed Khattala, one of the leaders of the attack.

Despite Khattala's capture, the issue of what happened on the night almost two years ago remains a major bone of contention between the two parties with the public leaning in the direction of wanting to know more about exactly what happened."

 

Schmuck here: "...what happened on the night almost two years ago remains a major bone of contention between the two parties..."

        When they refer to the two parties they are NOT talking about any Libyan entities, Are They? Because all that could possibbly matter in this world, and especially to the wApOO is U S Government Opinion?

 

Jus' Askin....

 

And by the way.... most people who receive the Post as their local news rag also have no idea where the Turn Signal control is on the vehicle they "drive" to and from "work", 6 hours a day, 3 days a week!

My greatest achievement in college was calling this woman a bitch in a class full of femenists. She was ripping some reporter and I said 'What a bitch!' and the leftists howled.

I would like to apologize for this. Bitches don't deserve to be in the same class as this piece of trash. If she/it wins I'm leaving the US. It's already almost too unbearable.
