GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Listen to this. Former secretary of state and potential presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, speaking at a foreign policy conference and saying this:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
HILLARY CLINTON, FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE: This is what we call smart power, using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security, leaving no one on the sidelines, showing respect even for one's enemies, trying to understand and, insofar as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view, helping to define the problems to determine the solution. That is what we believe, in the 21st century, will change, change the prospects for peace.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VAN SUSTEREN: Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North joins us.
Just to back up a little bit, she was making a reference to a dispute that two women settled in the Philippines that's been going on for a number of years. Nonetheless, that's what she said.
LT. COL. OLIVER NORTH, FOX HOST, WAR STORIES: Those words coming out of someone who intends to become commander-in-chief are not just naive and utopian, it's irrational. Consider, we are supposed to be using smart power. Sounds more like, to me, we have no power. And that isn't smart to say as a candidate. And I can't think of a presidential candidate who said those kinds of things.

Personally am praying hillary is nominated ... 2014 will resemble a pin prick on the democRATs.
Wish it was true but the MSM is covering PIAPS big arse.
Relax, it’s just ‘female think’. They elected Barry, didn’t they? They don’t know. They don’t care. They just vote.
I truly hope North is correct. Hitlary is not the brightest bulb in the box, she only THINKS she is.
Hillary Clinton: Peaceful dove of hurled ashtrays
The Praetorian Guard Media will cover for her, of course. And the RINO’s will try to downplay this and never mention it again, of course. But even with those two intensely evil entities working for Hillary — The Media and The RINOs — I don’t see how she recovers from this.
Don’t count her out Ollie. She’s got a political machine and a lot of “secrets” that some people wouldn’t want to come out plus there’s more than enough idiots out there that think she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread and they vote! She’ll go to any length to get back in the White House.....in other words, she’ll try and get it by rook or crook.
To the contrary, Hillary's comments were carefully targeted to her base support: foreign tyrannical interests around the world who pressure global corporations, that control US media, who control the political popaganda message that we see in this country.
Wasn’t she the one who wanted to bomb Belgrade? Maybe she should bring that up to rebut her critics who think she’s too squishy!
I have read elsewhere that this remark is largely being ignored by most of the media. This looks like the liberal cleanup crew is making sure that MSM reliant people never hear of it and therefore, it didn’t happen.
It’s hard to say with the way things have been going in the past several years.
Where logic and rational thinking are concerned in American politics... all bets are off.
Take the word ‘impossible’ OUT of the dictionary!
Maybe she wants to get in just so a hot young make intern can bone her in the oval? (orafice, I mean....ahem, Office!)
To be more specific, channeling-your-inner-therapist pseudo-psychological postwar-feminist unrealpolitik think. It will go over well with the academics and graduates of the soft sciences--unlike, say, Ted Cruz, who sounds more like Adm. Halsey after Pearl Harbor than Hillary's 21st-century rendition of Neville Chamberlain after Sudetenland.
North has it wrong this time. This won’t hurt her one bit.
And that includes the RINO-GOPe.
place another huma in the humidor.
ANT HILL STUFF.
Ya just as the inane remark about how businesses and corporations don’t create jobs will be overlooked, this will be overlooked also.
