Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admitted that she could not have predicted the effectiveness of the al-Qaida-affiliated terrorist group that seized control this week of two major Iraqi cities.
The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), which has pledged allegiance to al-Qaida since 2004, captured the western Iraqi cities of Tikrit and Mosul, expanding its influence across the entire Sunni-dominated western region of Iraq in addition to Syria where it remains one of the strongest rebel factions fighting dictator Bashar al-Assad. The group, led by enigmatic terrorist Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, evolved out of al-Qaidas Bush-era presence in Iraq, adopting a version of its current name as early as 2006.
Clinton, the Obama administrations first Secretary of State and a presumptive 2016 presidential candidate, admitted that she underestimated ISIS in an interview Thursday with NPRs Terry Gross at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City.

No kidding.
This, from the person who gets up every morning and looks out the window and asks what the big shiny thing in the sky is.
Speaking of Hillary spinning, she did an interview on left-wise NPR and the lib host was quizzing her on flip flopping on gay marriage, and Hillary was snipping at her telling her she is distorting what she was saying.
Angry Hillary face,
The host asked her if her two different positions were political based (obviously) and Hillary got snippy saying that she evolved, she really thought it was wrong most of her life.
I only saw this because I keep Chris Hayes on before Kelly show (I cant watch O Reilly) and he did a segment on it, and his three Dem guests laughed at her after his playing the clip.
how could a statesman not understand that when a power vacuum is created, power will flow to fill the vacuum. Zero turned away from Iraq and redirected to Afganistan. Now it’s time for him to eat his peas.
How many feet can she get in her mouth?
That clip on homosexual marriage is really amazing.
The host said she wanted to clarify because Hillary had given unclear answers. And Hillary talked back to the host, saying that she was trying to distort Hillary’s words, which were unclear to begin with.
Somehow I get the feeling you should not talk back to the interviewer like that. You just generate bad feelings and make yourself look like a fool. Host says she wants to clarify the position, and Hillary said, no you don’t want to clarify??? What the heck????
I do hope that Terry Gross’ taxes are in order......
More like dumbest rock in the box.
Couldn’t predict because you had to do a real job. Now how about predicting the results of the Bergdahl trade by applying this experience, eh?
Limited intelligence a and imagination are a terrible thing to waste.
The Kankles can go anytime. No wonder Mr. Bill messed around.
Of course this includes her royal thighness, Hillary Clinton, as deaf, dumb, blind and unable to predict the obvious.
Yet, incredibly, she still believes herself qualified to run for the position of CiC for 2016.
Nasty.Very Nasty.
I still think Larry Klayman should try to obtain through the FOIA the liquor tab of Hillary’s private jet/entourage while SecState. Could explain a few things.
Shrillary klintoon can predict many things: that she will lie again, that she has no idea where the $6,000,000,000.00 missing on her watch in the state dept is, that she has no recollection of anything that might have been her responsibility or fault, that she will drink excessively again, that huma will be her BFF (with “benefits”), thast she will get more obese, that she will get uglier both outside and in, that she is a communist and will remain a communist, that she should go to prison for her many crimes, that she killed vince foster, that she essentially killed the 4 American heroes at Benghazi...and so forth.
Funny ... the moonbats didn’t give Bush that same benefit of doubt. How could he have known that Al Qaeda insurgents would turn Iraq into the mess it became?
She’s not equipped to make those decisions, either, right? Just like she wasn’t equipped to deal with security matters...
Indecent bitch, you may have power but you have no class.
