Last Tuesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused the Russians of delivering attack helicopters to the Syrian regime. While attending a question and answer session at the Brookings Institution she said the U.S. was “concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from Russia to Syria.” Insinuating that the Russians were arming Syria to kill its own civilians in order to quell a peaceful upraising but she left out an important detail.

The British press reported that the helicopters were refurbished and was being returned to Syria. State department and Pentagon officials had to admit that helicopters weren’t being supplied to Syria but were being returned after being overhauled and refused to identify the type of helicopter being returned. An angry Russian foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavro accused the Obama administration of hypocrisy by selling weapons to other Gulf States that can be used against “peaceful demonstrators” for example the uprisings in Bahrain. The Syrian civil war further strained relations between the United States and Russia.

She was elected Senator in NY, purely on her husband’s name. She never let the public or reporters anywhere near her, for “security” reasons, and never actually did any real campaigning, which would have shown her for the disagreeable idiot she is.
And this qualified her to be Secretary of State?
