Hillary Clinton: Europe must lead on plane react
Politico ^ | 7/17/14 | MAGGIE HABERMAN

Posted on 07/17/2014 7:16:54 PM PDT by SJackson

Hillary Clinton says there’s “growing awareness” that Malaysia Airlines passenger plane was probably shot down by Russian insurgents — but argued that European leaders must “take the lead” on any action if that proves to be the case.

Clinton made the comments about the doomed plane in a wide-ranging interview with TV host Charlie Rose set to air Thursday night. Portions of the taped interview were released ahead of airtime.

“The questions I’d be asking is, No. 1, ‘Who could have shot it down? Who had the equipment?’” she said. “It’s obviously an antiaircraft missile.”

The former secretary of state, who’s pondering a second run for the presidency in 2016, said it takes some advance planning to down a jetliner from the height it would have been traveling at over that part of Ukraine.

“There does seem to be some growing awareness that it probably had to be Russian insurgents,” Clinton said. “Now, how we determine that will require some forensics, but then if there is evidence pointing in that direction, the equipment had to have come from Russia. What more the Russians may or may not have done, we don’t know.”

She's got a bigger behind to lead from than our President. Maybe not his wife.

The questions I’d be asking is, No. 1, ‘Who could have shot it down? Who had the equipment?

Da*n, who would have thought of that?

There's the kind of leadership the democrats offer. They are college agitators totally out of their depth in the real world.

God help us, the GOP is only marginally better these days, as owned as they are by big business interests.

What business is this of Slick Willie’s wife? She isn’t anybody. Right now she’s nothing but another lowly, two-bit ‘RAT politician. Who cares what she thinks? The last time she opened her big mouth, four Americans were murdered.

23 Americans were murdered. “What difference does it make?”

Unfortunately that pretty much sums it up.

Someone else will have to lead as there is nothing coming from America these days.

Well, we know that this administration will not get involved. We all remember that obama told Romney that he was living in the 80’s and that Russia was not a threat.

Let her keep talking and putting her foot in her mouth. Liars have a hard time keeping their lies in order without lying even more. Oh the web we weave when we practice to deceive.

If she wants Europe to lead then why does the disgraced and failed former Secretary of State open her mouth?

In other words, the USA should NOT take the lead.

Obama will sure be relieved to hear that.
