Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former secretary of state and potential 2016 presidential candidate, is planning to make remarks about the intensifying situation in Syria during a visit to the White House on Monday.
Clinton has not personally addressed the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack that U.S. officials say was carried out by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime or how she believes the United States should respond. Although an aide issued a statement last Tuesday saying she supports President Obama’s effort to seek authorization from Congress for a retaliatory strike.

Exactly. I believe Kerry wants to make another run for the White House, and Hillary knows it. He has been getting a lot of air time lately, and Hillary doesn't want to left in the dust. She will make a statement about Syria, but it won't be a ringing endorsement of military intervention. Instead, it will be ambiguous enough that she can claim she was right there with Obama and Kerry if things go well, and give her plausible deniability if things go bad.
Yikes, I had forgotten about Gore.
That sounds like a problem.
Is Syria going to be at the White House? I think it would make a lot more sense for her to go there, especially since they're so busy and she's unemployed.
Yep! Hillary sees Kerry moving up the ranks of viable ‘16 Dim contenders and she doesn’t want to be elbowed out again from what she believes is rightfully hers, as she was in ‘08.
“The Party” choreographing Hillary’s ascension to the Presidency. Don’t forget the Democrats “non existant” “war room”, and their “non existant” psychological warfare that is their stock in trade.
Hillary speaking from the WH creates illusion of foregone conclusion. Makes her look Presidential don’t ya know.
If Hilary wanted to secure the nomination, all she would have to do is simply say that this is the wrong course and that unilateral action is a bad idea.
She could buy her nomination by throwing Obama under the bus. 35 seconds and most every liberal (and probably quite a few conservatives) would flock to her banner.
If she supports Obama on this, she shoots herself in the foot.
Ahh, Miss “What DIFFERENCE, at this point, does it make?” Clinton come to rescue the boy king....
There’s DEAD CHILDREN involved... (never mind the 40 million dead American children since Roe v Wade...)
There’s WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION involved .... (never mind that these were the same WMDs that were in Iraq and transferred across the border - THAT was “Bush’s War!” - this is a Democrat-controlled war, and therefore, holy, righteous, justified, and you damn well better support it!)
We don’t care. Only the Hillary freaks will be enchanted.
Wasn’t Jimmy Carter available?
Hillary aside ....
When will O-bomb-a take Fast and Furious seriously? I guess he loves terrorists more than Hispanics.
Besides ....
O-bomb-a has earned ‘frequent liar’ miles. So who are we to believe? I trust Putin AND Assad more than B-O. Besides, Obama hates Christian ‘bitter clingers’ which helps explain his love of the Muslim Brother Hood killing of Coptic Christians. And Assad gets along fairly well with us infidels.
That was my question, too. In what capacity is she addressing the American public on this matter?
Yep....Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice....just who Americans want preaching the Obama terrorist creed to them. How dumb can Obama & his Obambots be??? These two traitor women abetted the murders of four (4) of our public servants in Benghazi, Libya...and, tried to cover their evil deeds with the typical Obama lie campaign!!!
Senate & House Critters...vote “NO” to deny Obama approval to attack Syria....and, after that is done...vote to impeach Obama & Biden and fire John Kerry, dumb, buffoon that he is!! End of story!!!
the flames of hell await them. good enough for me.
Dang, should have read all the replies. You beat me by a few minutes.
Some private citizen (who is amassing money in the private sector prior to a run at the White House) is visiting the White Hut to speak on international matters?
What the hell for?
Is Huma Weiner with her?
