Ahead of a possible presidential run, Hillary Clinton appears to be distancing herself from what she called President Barack Obama's foreign policy "failure": the decision not to intervene during the early stages of the Syrian civil war.
In an interview with The Atlantic published on Sunday, the former secretary of state says the "failure" of the United States to those protesting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad led to the rise of al-Qaida-inspired groups like ISIS, the militants currently creating havoc in Syria and Iraq.
The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle that failure left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled, Clinton said.
The former first lady and U.S. senator said she fears the jihadist groups currently gaining strength in the Middle East will expand their sights on Europe and the United States.

amazing how the biggest instigators of chaos and viloence are the ones who claim they know how to quell the anger and rage everyone feeeels towards the US.
Nyaaaaa.. I don't think so.
She has no right to complain if she did not immediately resign.
So what’s in “Blood Feud” is true.

If she treats the enemies of the US the way she treats the people who have to work for her then maybe even ISIS will decide to quit threatening us.
Funny how she’s WAITED to give the Jews here support!!
Too bad, Israel won’t be strongly defending her.
She needs Jewish money and Jewish votes so that she can get in power and stab Israel in the back. It’s one of those “before” and “after” things.
Obama too sounded really smart second-guessing just about everything George W did with 20/20 hindsight.
She was for the Muslim Brotherhood before she was against it. And, frankly, I believe she is still for it. And...were exactly is her girlfriend Humma these days?
How can we take any of this seriously? She was secretary of state,,a key person in formulating foreign policy. How can she be intellectually honest with such statements? So then she is blaming herself????
The same Mrs. Clinton that was on PBS stating that Palestine should be sovereign and that Israel should not use any force against the rebellion/ or patriots, as she referred to them. Forget the murders and attacks from Hamas, that is okay to her. Now, today this. Okay, I got it! IsraeliPalestinian conflict, like we know where you really stand, Mrs. Clinton ( Just another liar/ making a new mold for herself) No way, I’d ever be lavishing that woman up due to her lies. She needs to take her lies and go away.
Wouldn't that have meant supporting ISIS in their fight against Bashar al-Assad?
As if she had nothing to with it while she was Secretary of State.
This is such horse blank. Obama is a good Democrat, Hillary is a good Democrat. Hillary was secretary of state. Obama’s foreign policy is Hillary’s foreign policy.
We can’t let her get away with such absurd off the wall statements. We need to set the record straight. She and Obama are one.
Shut up, Beotch.
“She needs Jewish money and Jewish votes so that she can get in power and stab Israel in the back. Its one of those before and after things”
Precisely!
time to triangulate ALA Bill Clinton. Many fools will fall for this.
