(Reuters) - The U.S. military did not provide any coolant for a Japanese nuclear plant affected by a massive earthquake on Friday, U.S. officials said. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier had said that U.S. Air Force "assets" had delivered "some really important coolant" to a Japanese nuclear power plant.

She never could tell the truth, even about her OWN NAME.
Years after alternative media pointed out the virtual impossibility, Sen. Hillary Clinton finally has admitted she was not named for the famous conqueror of Mount Everest, Sir Edmund Hillary.
The New York Times, which repeated the claim as fact in a story just one week ago, reported Sen. Clinton’s campaign issued a correction yesterday.
“It was a sweet family story her mother shared to inspire greatness in her daughter, to great results I might add,” said spokeswoman Jennifer Hanley.
For more than a decade, Sen. Clinton’s informal biography repeated the story, and it was recounted in former President Bill Clinton’s 2004 autobiography, “My Life.”
The problem with the tale, however, is one of timing. Sir Edmund and his Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay, became known to the world only in 1953, after becoming the first men to reach Everest’s summit. Sen. Clinton was born in 1947.
Nevertheless, Clinton recounted to the press her meeting with Sir Edmund in 1995, during an Asian tour, in which she told the mountain climber how her mother had named her.
“It had two l’s, which is how she thought she was supposed to spell Hillary,” she said. “So when I was born, she called me Hillary, and she always told me it’s because of Sir Edmund Hillary.”
In 1947, Sir Edmund was an unknown beekeeper, but Clinton had explained her mother read about him in a publication while pregnant and liked the name.

Snipers, famous associations, bullett dodging. Dodged bullets and no one hit that lard can? Piss poor shootin as my Dad would have said.
Whaddya sayin?
There’s a thigh-clamp knock-off?
EGads Man!
Did she stare into the camera with a crooked pointed finger while saying it?
In Hillary’s defense ..somebody in this inept, cockamamie , whack job administration probably gave her that phony information.
It just validates the amateur hour of Barry and Company.
Whenever there’s a crisis , everyone acts like a Chinese fire drill on steroids.
As Barry goes off to the basketball court.
I think the Bud Light advertising people could have a field day with this.
“I agree. She thought we bring over some bigass tanks of Freon.”
Or ice water. Lots of it.
Hillary. What a poor, dumb b#tch.
Like her boss talking about Oil leases that Bush signed 4 years ago. NOT OBAMA
Danica could use a couple of “peaks”.
I fell for it and believed what logic told me to be true.
Don't get me wrong, I'm as far from the tree-hugger type as it gets. But I have to admit, now I am skeptical of everything I've been told about the safety of the modern nuclear power plant. This isn't exactly some pre-cold war relic facility in the Ukraine, this is a modern Japanese facility.
How does this happen?
I think we need to have a second look at this stuff and start asking questions. This is our worst nightmare unfolding right before our eyes.
How do we put these newfound fears to rest? I've spent years laughing at the wackos who claimed this would happen, now look at me... I'm wondering if this will happen in my own back yard one day.
Even if we did deliver borated water to them you can't inject it in the system with hand pumps. Do they have power back yet?
These people are SO in over their heads, it blows my mind.
I know, call me a freak, but I like em' just the way they are.
If you don’t put stuff like this in Breaking News.....someone after you will...

(Reuters) - The U.S. military did not provide any coolant for a Japanese nuclear plant affected by a massive earthquake on Friday, U.S. officials said.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier had said that U.S. Air Force “assets” had delivered “some really important coolant” to a Japanese nuclear power plant.
One U.S. official said he believed Clinton was told Japan had requested the material, that the United States had agreed to provide it, and that an operation to do so was under way.
Ultimately, however, Japan did not need assistance from the United States but Clinton did not appear to have been updated before she made her public remarks.
“We understand that ultimately the Japanese government handled the situation on its own,” said another U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

We have no captain at the helm and it frightens me to death.
Whether I liked or disliked previous presidents I always felt that they could lead.
Not this guy. Wet the finger,hold it up,and see which way the wind is blowing.
