Am I the only to say this is terrible? She is the Sec of State of the United States of America. She is representing the USA.

H! needs to hit the reset button.

Besides, she should get an up close and personal taste of "occupy".

0bambi was gonna fix all that supposed disrespect in the eyes of foreign countries around the world, remember? I guess his experience and worldliness didn't inform him that his actions, diplomacy, policies and statements about the US would have the opposite effect abroad.

Barry's administration owns this disrespect and vulnerability! But you know, the snipper fire comments were also intended to generate sympathy and respect for Hillary's campaign, so maybe this is tied in with getting her a few more stripes, respect and votes.

I share the sentiment, because I can certainly see what this will lead to. I’m not so sure that I’d use “terrible” to describe it as much as eyeing it with a sense of “foreboding”, inasmuch as the outcome could have been significantly worse than it was - it’s evidence of a complete failure of security that has grave implications not only for future diplomatic travel at all levels, but also extending all the way down to attacks on Main Street America, schools, and other soft targets. It’s not unlike the perversion of the “flash mob” concept into a savage “criminal mob” whose members feel invincible due to their overwhelming numbers, outright contempt for the law, and expectation that they will profit with little risk to themselves.

No doubt America’s enemies, large and small, are studying this successful use of a “swarming” tactic, and plotting how to make use of something similar for more nefarious purposes than simply tossing paint.
