Hillary's Foreign Policy Flub
Self | 12/27/07 | Soliton

Posted on 12/27/2007 1:02:20 PM PST by Soliton

In Hillary's off the cuff comments today regarding the assassination of Ms. Bhutto, she claims she has known the former prime minister for many years. She goes on to imply that she read Ms. Bhutto's autobiography, "She wrote a very moving biography that begins with the assassination of her father." The only problem is that Ms. Bhutto's father wasn't assassinated.

Video here: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2007/12/27/sot.clinton.bhutto.reax.cnn

In 1978, a military coup led by General Zia unseated President Bhutto. Bhutto was charged with corruption and sentenced to death. Despite pleas from many world leaders, the new Pakistani government hung Bhutto on April 5th.

This is the kind of a flub that if a Republican makes it generates ridicule(see Huckabee and continuing martial law).

I looked at most of the MSM reporting and they stress how well she knew Bhutto and show nice pictures of the two together, but non quotes the flub or remarks on it.

Played right, this could again show her as exagerating again and show her as uninformed on major foreign policy issues.

To be more accurate, IMO, Hitlery is a habitual story teller (aka liar).

Excellent, Soliton.

It was my recollection that he had been executed by hanging. I guess Mrs. Clinton didn’t read the book very carefully or she has very poor information retention, or she just lied, as usual.

Nice to see knowledge and facts are as important to her as they were to him.

ROTFLMAO! Every time a Clinton opens their mouth, they choose to lie.

Its like breathing to them.

This will never gain traction because the MSM has been told by her and the first bubba not to ask her hard questions.

It will if somebody gets it to Obambi and Edwards. Any volunteers?

But she had prescient parents who named her after an obsure New Zealand beekeeper because they knew he would scale Mt. Everest some day. 

How's that for spin?  Clinton-style.

Well she studied at the feet of the master but these days, too many people are onto them and they get caught real easy. But she’s still obviously fooling a sizable group of people...that is, those who wish to be fooled by her.

Bhutto did have some sort of relationship with Clinton, as she had hired Clinton's pollster and manager Mark Penn before she set off on her return. This is a big negative in my feelings for Bhutto.But I am sure that Clinton will play this connection over and over for the next few weeks to win in Iowa and NH and wrap this nomination up by super Tuesday.

Once again she will stress experience, even though it's not meaningful in any real way, as the reason she should be crowned. No current Dem candidate, except maybe Biden, has any experience at all. So the road to next November is open for Hillary. A series of very unfortunate events.

Allegedly Hillary also stated how bad she felt for her TWO children but Bhutto has THREE children. Either Hillary’s camp messed up or she disliked the third child.

And lets not forget to get some traction from the murder of Bhutto ... "Fast! Get the photos of me with Bhurro out to the MSM! Now!"

She just needs a little connection so she can seem to be human ...don't you know!

Most people who vote for Hitleery haven’t a clue who Ms. Bhutto is or where she came from.

“Well she studied at the feet of the master “

No no no no!

Monica Lewinsky studied at the feet of the master.
Hillary studied over in the other bedroom.
