In a new interview with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, former secretary of State and probable candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2016, Hillary Clinton went further than she has to date in openly criticizing the foreign policy of the president that she served under from 2009 to 2013. Specifically, Mrs. Clinton draws a direct line from the president’s failure to act in Syria to the rise of the Islamic State and the problems it now poses for Iraq and the rest of the region, and generally criticized the president for a having a foreign policy that had no clear sense of purpose:
"President Obama has long ridiculed the idea that the U.S., early in the Syrian civil war, could have shaped the forces fighting the Assad regime, thereby stopping al Qaeda-inspired groups – like the one rampaging across Syria and Iraq today – from seizing control of the rebellion. In an interview in February, the president told me that “when you have a professional army … fighting against a farmer, a carpenter, an engineer who started out as protesters and suddenly now see themselves in the midst of a civil conflict – the notion that we could have, in a clean way that didn’t commit U.S. military forces, changed the equation on the ground there was never true.”
Well, his former secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, isn’t buying it. In an interview with me earlier this week, she used her sharpest language yet to describe the “failure” that resulted from the decision to keep the U.S. on the sidelines during the first phase of the Syrian uprising.

Will the LIVs fall for this?
Is that a trick question?
The split between Obama and Clinton appears to be permanent and nasty. Clinton is positioning herself as the savior of the Democratic party after the 2014 election. She will argue that her candidacy will not only retain the Presidency but will result in the recapture of the Senate. If Obama’s people do not counter quickly, his last two years in office will not only be difficult but tortuous. Soon there will be detrimental information leaked about Hillary ( and probably Obama as well). The big winner may be Elizabeth Warren aka Pocahontas.
I’m sure the Clintons have the dirt on Fauxcohontas ready to go.
The old harpy will do or say anything to get elected. She is a congenital liar.
As far as Hillary is concerned, Goebbels didn’t think big enough.
To be fair though, Goebbels didn’t have Hillary’s advantage of her main constituency being on antidepressants 24/7 to chemically remove their consciences.
“Out, damned spot!”
hillary obese hag clintoon will never be able to wash out the blood she has on her hands, Vince Foster, Benghazi and who knows who else.
The Clintons are paranoid---Hillary's "dead broke" comment to ABC's Diane Sawyer is haunting her candidacy. The Clintons lay awake nights, trying to dream up angles to make voters forget her "dead broke" bomb.
She's really desperate---picking on the Redskins franchise last week. She bombed doing an outlandish comedy routine w/ Colbert. Where she'll strike next is anybody's guess (cackle).
Maybe she'll take it all off for Playboy---seeing she needs the money?
Maybe Hillary Bill and Chelsea will stand in a bread line, join hands and sink Kumbaya?
===========================================================
Who can forget Obama and Hillary's love fest on CBS' 60 Minutes?
Obomba hustled Hillary on 60 Minutes to gaze in adoration,
after Hill's arrogant dismissal of the Benghazi massacre before
Congress. I thought sure Obama was gonna give 'er a B/J on
broadcast tv....he was THAT grateful.
=================================================
Even more problematic for the opportunistic Clintons is that Boobamba's serial incompetence is imperiling Hillary's ambitions. Running in the toxic fallout of a two-term blundering black president is a Sisyphian challenge.
For sure CBS will allot ample airtime so that Hillary emerges pure and virginal for 2016. CBS will suckup and give her 2-3 segments to explain away foreign policy flops....and Benghazi.
The words "Blame Republicans" are already forming on Hilly's virginal lips.
