Clinton Bows to Russian Support of Iran

So, let’s get this straight: On a visit to Israel by Vice President Biden, a lower-level, Israeli government agency announces its intent to build more housing units in East Jerusalem and the Obama administration goes nuclear, condemning the announcement as though it was a violation of some sacred agreement between the two countries—which of course it wasn’t. The Israeli government, in turn, apologizes for the timing of the announcement but is told that this will not be enough. Israel now must, according to the administration, “prove” it wants peace.

Now, shift to yesterday in Russia: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lands in Moscow and is greeted with news that Russian prime minister Vladmir Putin has announced his government’s intention to complete construction of the Iranian nuclear plant at Bushehr this summer, in spite of the fact that the United Nations has declared Iran to be in non-compliance with the its obligations under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. When Secretary Clinton mildly complains about the Russian announcement, does the Russian government apologize for the timing, or the substance? Of course not. Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, bluntly tells Clinton and the world that the construction will indeed go forward.

Let the Jews bomb it into ashes just before it is completed. It's time. Lets get it on and melt the entire middle east. Sooner or later the two big dawgs (Christians and Muslims) gotta have a go at it so we might as well get it over with early. We have enough oil and natural gas to remain self sufficient for about 125 years so we might as well nuke while we gott’em.

So lets get this right... the troika wants Iran to destroy Israel with its endorsement.

People need to keep in mind two things... an assault on the only democracy in the Mid East is an attack on democracy. Attacks on Europe follow and then America.

Secondly, he who attacks Israel or endorses it is running the risk of the wrath of God and divine intervention.

Hillary is weak and stupid. Her past screw ups should make that plain enough.

[x_plus_one]

She is soooo tough until she meets the russians, then she folds like a cheap deck of cards. Same way she hangs on with Bilzo for a lifetime of pain and embarrassment....What is her problem?

[TigersEye]

Apart from being a dyed in the wool Marxist she is just stupid. That has been my opinion since she first appeared on the national scene.

[cubreporter]

Simple. She rode the coattails of her husband. Plain and simple. She used to tout 35 years experience of WHAT? Writing a book? Feminism? What? Experience? MY foot. She is Sec of State because Obama didn’t want her as VP and so he “gave” her a title and made the dunce the VP who along with Mitchell and others go about the world meeting with world leaders while hillereeee does ribbon cutting. What a legacy.
An added comment by my husband:
“If she was under a paid for performance salary plan SHE would owe the US Citizens money!!!
