Why Did Hillary Clinton Defend Boko Haram?
Powerline ^ | May 8, 2014 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 05/09/2014 8:50:11 PM PDT by QT3.14

Boko Haram, the Islamic terrorist organization in Nigeria, is in the news because it kidnapped more than 200 teenage girls and now threatens to sell them into slavery. (That’s what a real war on women looks like.) This is just the latest of many outrages committed by Boko Haram, which is guilty of many acts of mass murder. But it has now come out that for two years, Hillary Clinton blocked efforts to add Boko Haram to the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations.

This wasn’t just an episode of bureaucratic indifference. The Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA and many in Congress lobbied the State Department to list Boko Haram, but Clinton stood firm in defense of the Nigerian terrorists. Now, with the kidnapping outrage in the news, Hillary is tweeting away on behalf of the Nigerian girls. (THAT will do a lot of good!) But where was she in 2011 and 2012?

She was just following the lead of moveon.org. They took the petition down few days ago, to hide their love of terrorists.

With Huma perhaps? If so, she has excellent taste. However, this would not extend to Bill Clinton.

If BOKO HARAM has the girls, that’s 200 fewer girls to which Bill has access and reduces the potential of 200 more bimbo eruptions.

what could they possibly get? Nigeria put up a reward of like $300,000 for the girls.

That petition doesn’t say they’re not a terrorist group only that officially putting them on the list would be the wrong way to deal with them.

Hillary Rodham Clinton thought she was the smartest person on the planet.

Listen to her speech pattern, watch her body language, try to decipher her impromptu remarks: she has a normal IQ at best and exhibits the behavior of a sociopath.

Buku Huma is the reason why Hillary defended Boko Haram.

One of the things power-crazed Dummycrats have elevated to an art is to act like it never happened (when their policies turn disastrous). "Faking amnesia means never having to say you're sorry."

=================================================

THE WOMAN WHO WOULD BE PRESIDENT Hillary Clinton is now decrying the infamous kidnapping of 300 Nigerian schoolgirls, but she never mentioned that her State Department (which she ruled w/ an iron hand)---- refused to place the savage "Boko Haram" terrorist group on the State Dept list of foreign terrorist organizations...... way back in 2011, after the group bombed UN headquarters in Abuja.

Hillary's refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen Senators and Congressmen.

“The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didn’t use. And nobody can say she wasn’t urged to do it. It’s gross hypocrisy,” said a former senior U.S. official who was involved in the debate.

“The FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department really wanted Boko Haram designated, they wanted the authorities that would provide to go after them, and they voiced that repeatedly to elected officials.” (Excerpt) Read more at thedailybeast.com ...

Hillary refused to place the savage "Boko Haram" terrorist group on the State Dept list of foreign terrorist organizations.....and today puts on her best "outrage act" over the kidnapped girls.

====================================

THE COVER-UP BEGINS Hillary's whining before Congress: "what difference does it make" was the start of the cover-up. Who can forget Obama and Hillary's love fest on CBS' 60 Minutes?

Obomba hustled Hillary on 60 Minutes to gaze in adoration,
after Hill's arrogant dismissal of the Benghazi massacre before
Congress. I thought sure Obama was gonna give 'er a B/J on
broadcast tv....he was THAT grateful.

For sure CBS will give Hill ample airtime so that she emerges pure and virginal for 2016. CBS will kneel in obeisance and give her 2-3 segments to explain it all away.....the word "Republicans" is already forming on those forgetful lips.

Secy of State Hillary's incessant globe-trotting raises new questions about her motives....since it is well-known her global travels contributed nothing to US foreign policy.

Hefty corporate donations to the Clintons' tax-exempt foundations are nice...... but exchanging valuable US ntl security info for campaign contributions......that could really add up.

===========================================

And just who cleaned out the State Dept's bank accounts? News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

Now we know how Hillary always$ get$ tho$e wonderful poll number$----why $he's always at the top of the pre $idential pack (cackle).

Hillary Clinton Again Calls Benghazi ‘Biggest Regret’ as Secretary of State
wall street journal, 4/23/14 / FR Posted by Sub-Driver

BOSTON – Hillary Clinton reiterated Wednesday that her darkest time as secretary of state was the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Mrs. Clinton, in a speech to more than 3,000 people at a women’s leadership conference here, called the attack and loss of lives “very, very painful” and “certainly the biggest regret that I have as secretary of state.” She noted that she had taken responsibility for security at the diplomatic outpost, where Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans died, and had pledged to do everything she could to ensure a similar tragedy won’t happen again.

================================================

You call that dark? Wait'll we find out what Boko Haram did to all the little girls. It's gonna get darker, Hillary.
