Hillary, Brookings speech

Brookings Institution

Original point:

The answer to this question is critical to understanding whether the Administration's foreign policy is undergoing a shift, brought on by our experience in Iraq that views our allies and the international community as partners in the War on Terror. For a failure to learn the lessons from our policy failure in Iraq will be disastrous in the War on Terror. So, this morning, I'd like to talk about the dangers of pursuing a policy of unilateralism and the need for allies in every aspect of our security. Critical to fighting this new 21st century war is a fundamental re-orientation away from a unilateral posture to a multilateral strategy that strengthens all who participate.

And now the contradiction:

QUESTION: Robert Dagio [ph], journalist. Senator, you gave a strong and forceful defense of multilateralism, but would Democrats also not be well-advised to point out that in some cases unilateral action is necessary when forceful diplomacy has failed to produce results, and could-- that would be good policy and good politics, and you could in fact even argue that such unilateral action might have helped saved lots of lives in Bosnia/Herzegovina ten or twelve years ago? SENATOR CLINTON: Oh, absolutely, and I said that. I mean, I don't believe that we should ever cede our right to act in furtherance of what we see as not only our interests but, you know, other objectives that can be supported globally and defended. You know, if you look at Kosovo and Bosnia, certainly the failure by the international community, especially European nations and the United States, the NATO apparatus to act more quickly, is an indication of how difficult it is to put together a multilateral response.

Does the Pentagon's plans for space defense make the world safer or more dangerous?
It will begin a new arms race.	66%
It will deter space wars.	34%

[Fenris6]

Thats a stupid poll. Categories also completely omit any possibility of an asteroid collision defense.

Question: Does your wife feel safe or vulnerable?

66% Vulnerable. I beat her every day
34% Safer. I only beat her on Tuesdays.

What a farce.
