Bashing Bush in Pakistan
Commentary ^ | October 30, 2009 | RICK RICHMAN

Posted on 10/31/2009 2:08:08 PM PDT by RobinMasters

In a roundtable today with Pakistani editors, Hillary Clinton responded to a question about the Israeli-Palestinian issue with the now-familiar Obama administration litany: the problems are hard, they were inherited, they were ignored by the prior administration:

I think that, look, we all know that the Israeli-Palestinian issue is one that is a very serious and difficult problem that we are working hard also to try to resolve. We inherited a lot of problems. If you remember, when my husband left office, we were very close to an agreement because he worked on it all the time. The next administration did not make it a priority and did not really do much until toward the end. And unfortunately, we are trying to make up for some lost time, in my opinion.

Hillary forgets that the Bush administration in 2001 inherited an even more difficult problem — the new Palestinian terror war that concluded the eight-year Clinton peace process. During the next eight years, the Bush administration nevertheless did the following:

Adopted a new policy officially endorsing a Palestinian state if the Palestinian Authority renounced terrorism and elected new leaders (2002);

Produced a three-phase roadmap to achieve a Palestinian state — and got the UN, EU, Russia, Israel and the PA all to endorse it (2003);

Entered into a deal with Israel to turn over all of Gaza to the PA to enable it to demonstrate its ability to “live side by side in peace and security” (2004);

Arranged a Palestinian election to choose a “moderate” successor to Yasser Arafat (2005);

What a sorry POS for a Secretary of State. In the end she might make Albright look good and would take some doing.

Well. Not ALL the time.

Astonishingly low-class people...all of this bunch. But then again, they’re Dems, and when you’re a Dem you can do no wrong and you never have to say that you’re sorry......or so they tell themselves and each other.

How is a graphic of a man beating a woman acceptable on Free Republic?

Evidently hitlery didn’t notice the intifada unleashed on Israel following her husband’s successes in the peace process.

Lighten up about a man slapping a woman repeatedly? No. It’s an inherently bad graphic and counter-productive to what Free Republic is all about.

All the Pakis have to do to make her head explode is ask her “what does Bill think of the situation?”

Looks like something from DU or Daily Kos; FR can do better than that.

Perhaps you see everything that’s posted, I don’t.

She also neglected to mention that GWB inherited:

1. Terrorists on the ground in the US with attacks underway and

2. a CIA and FBI unable to communicate information on these threats due to Clinton policies preventing such communications.
