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.

My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I’m glad you asked!
My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly
because of the opposition it faced early on, you know
the remnants of
prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a
manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we
didnt do that and Im proud of that. Very proud. I would say thats
a major accomplishment.

Yes..anything coming out of the witches mouth now is just “campaign speech”. In other words say anything to get elected...especially TOTAL lies.
Never have so many words, said so little.
mumbo jumbo
The sheeple will buy it. We are so screwed.
It takes a liar to say what the GOP should have been saying all along. Not even Ted Cruz is calling out Obama’s pro-Islam foreign policy. In our dysfunctional culture, we leave it to the panderers and prevaricators to speak the truth.
Hillary supports infanticide homosexuality and a long list of anti Christian positions, she is no better than Obama period
Is this the same State Department head that allowed our Ambassador to Libya get whacked?
Such a small world.
And, unless it’s Ted Cruz, you can be sure that the Republican nominee won’t challenge Hillary on any of it.
You may be right.
This is such horse blank. Hillary was a key architect of the foreign policy which she is now criticizing.
I wish we had some semblance of a fair and balanced media, who would ask her the logical follow-up questions. Such as, “Mrs. Clinton, you were Secretary of State, and you helped formulate the policies you are now criticizing. How do you reconcile that contradiction”??
“She has no right to complain if she did not immediately resign.”
Correct!
That is exactly what I was wondering. She appears to be nuancing this to say if we had supported the right rebel forces that somehow ISIS would not have taken over. I find that laughable. If we had supported al-Asad I believe ISIS would not have taken over large amounts of Syria. If we had supported Iraq then they ISIS wouldn't have moved into Iraq. The vacuum was created by Obama.
This coming from the whore who so tenderly embraced Arafat’s wife.
With you on this one. She cannot separate herself from zero since she was part of this mess during the 1st 4 years. She also owns it.
Hitlery is a poser...she hates Israel as much as any Democrat on the floor of the Democrat convention who booed Israel and God....here she is kissing the wife of Yasser Arafat...Mrs. Arafat had just made a speech bashing Israel...
Yes she can, and the media will more than willing to comply.
Catfight coming between Vallery and Hillary, mark my words.
Extra butter on that popcorn please...
Lol
Troll for libtard Jewish donors much Lady Cankles?
“The former first lady and U.S. senator said ...”
Gee, they left out one of her titles, in fact the most recent one: Secretary of State. Under Obama, no less. Nothing she could have done in that role, right?
