(CNSNews.com) – Although Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has championed women’s rights from Azerbaijan to Zambia, it took her weeks to respond to an appeal to publicly support a campaign by Saudi women to be permitted to drive.
Even then, her comments on Tuesday came not of her own initiative, but in response to a question at a press availability – and after Saudi women activists and journalists had questioned her public silence on the subject.

“Clinton signaled once again the Obama administration’s sensitivity about the U.S. being seen to be preaching change to a non-Western culture..”
PHEW!!!! For a minute there I thought Obama might consider criticizing slavery and cannabalism!! (sarcasm)
I’d HARDLY term Islam a “culture”, unless you think stoning people, killing women for getting raped, cutting off hands of thieves, slavery, etc, is a “culture”.

Spam much, RoboPimp?
She goes with the flow or whatever is popular. What has she done as Sec of State?????? Abzoluleeee nuthin!!
good post!
...the libs show their hypocrisy, in refusing to condemn women being LEGALLY treated as inferior, being LEGALLY subject to beatings by their husbands (with sticks no thicker than a thumb of course!), etc.
What a seriously screwed up nation where the Secretary of State is Hillary Clinton and the Attorney General is Eric Holder!
I don’t give a damn whether Saudi Women drive cars or ride camels!
You should. By forcing westernization on these savages, we accelerate their demise as a society.
This new poster (CNS News) posts every single one of their articles every single day. ....and excerpts everything. AND doesn't respond to posts. A pimp machine.
I’ve got a question: Anyone know if Huma Abedin has a driver’s license, US presumably? I’m just curious.
Clinton's [Bill's] idea of support.
