"Mosul is on the border of Syria"

[oldbill]

Nobody in the media fact checking business seems to have noticed Hillary Clinton's stupidity on geography when she put Mosul on the Syrian border last night. View her comment at 6:00 minutes into the video. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-mosul-offensive-42928844 Actually, it is 116 km (66 miles) from the border.

The Hillbot suffered another stack overflow.

Buy a map, Sec. Clinton. She was too busy planning her accession to the throne to actually learn anything about her resume-enhancing job.

[grobdriver]

Smartest woman in the world!

[yoe]

The main thing to know about and remember is this: HILLARY CLINTON IS ABOVE THE LAW. NO POTUS CAN BE ABOVE THE LAW. ONLY DICTATORS ARE ABOVE THE LAW...HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT ELECTABLE BY LAW!

Geography discussion took place during one of her naps.

[NEMDF]

WOW I didn’t even catch that when she said it. I have a map of Iraq in my work cubicle since 2003. Mosul is closest to Turkey, not near Syria.

[xzins]

Mosul is the biblical Ninevah.

Mosul is not anywhere near the border of Syria.

That’s just incompetence showing

[golas1964]

If you’re (covertly) pro-ISIS - what difference, at this point, does a border make ?? /sarcasm off

[bigbob]

SHe’s a LIAR. Unlike Cruz she doesn’t bother raising the Bible high first, she just lies...about everything.

[D Rider]

Forgot about that. Irritated me at the time.

[Azeem]

She also called it a Sunni city. I bet the very large populations of Christian and Kurds from Mosul would disagree.

[Lorianne]

It is a majority Sunni city. So having Shia Iraqi military take it over is not going to work out the day after.

Has she learned nothing in all her years in the State Dept.
Sunni can only be ruled by Sunni and Shia can only be ruled by Shia, otherwise, unless you have an iron-fisted dictator like Sadaam Hussein, you are going to have nothing but chaos, guerrilla warfare, terrorist attack after terrorist attack upon civilians, etc.

And even with a strong dictator it’s a full time job to keep Sunni and Shia from killing each other.

I don’t see why we need to be a part of this at all. It is a religious civil war.

[rtwingxtremist]

Good one

“stack overflow”

I haven’t heard that one in quite some time :-)

[Lorianne]

Did anyone else notice: Hillary was asked point blank if she would put troops on the ground in Syria. She said no. p> And then numerous times she referred to "we will do this and that in Syria and even said:

"That's why I want to have an intelligence surge that protects us here at home, why we have to go after them from the air, on the ground, online,

So she had just said we would not get involved on the ground, and them mere moments later she said "on the ground". Which is it?

[xzins]

An analysis of the Mosul operation is that it is being led by US troops who are trying to keep the Iraqis out of their way.

[Lorianne]

I suspect as much.

Are they wearing ballerina slippers so the Obama admin can keep to their “no boots on the ground” line?

[xzins]

Rob O’Neill, bin Laden shooter, was on Hannity or Dobbs, and he claimed the US was leading the fighting. He claimed contacts.
