Hours before airstrikes, Hillary Clinton called for bombing of Syrian airfields
Fox News ^ | April 07, 2017

Posted on 04/07/2017 8:23:03 AM PDT by VitacoreVision

Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, gave a wide-ranging interview in New York Thursday where she called on the U.S. to carry out airstrikes on Syrian airfields in order to prevent more chemical attacks on its citizens.

"I really believe we should have and still should take out his air fields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them,” Clinton made the comment during an interview with New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof at a women's summit.

Clinton said that she favored a more aggressive action against Assad, adding that not taking a tough stance on the Syrian president was one of her worst policy mistakes during her time as secretary of state under President Obama.

Her comments came in her first interview since losing the presidential election to Trump and hours before the U.S. launched a barrage of cruise missiles targeting a Syrian airfield in response to the deadly gas attack.

Seems like there was a lot that changed after he won and now does not care about.

Oh I see.

She gave one of the most obvious response and since Trump did that....that means Trump = Hillary.

You are just lying now. That comment was in response to Hillary pushing for a no fly zone.

Was one of MY worst policy mistakes...

And since when does SOS set military policy??

Be Real...She said it because she NEVER expected Trump to do it.

Gah!

“Seems like there was a lot that changed after he won and now does not care about.”

Ignoring all of the stuff he has done, still less than 100 days in.

But because 100% has not been done, the pissy caucus on the right acts like he “lied” to them.

That’s rich.

And people act like the Democrats are filled with whiner pajama boys? Hell the gays had to patiently wait years before Obama even endorsed gay marriage.

Conservatives break down after 2 months.

I noticed that too and questioned whether it was the appropriate response. Hopefully the message to the world was received and maybe the positive will be that it puts Kim Jong Un on his heals wondering whether Trump would do the same to his regime.

Yeah. Did somebody leak it to her? This is why Trump didn’t tell congress.

The hysterical right in action yet again. They go from being tobacco-chewing gun toters one month to being tantrum throwing children in the next. It takes one’s breath away.

Good. Let the demonicRATS twist themselves into pretzels trying to align themselves. I give it two days before demonicRATS line up as opposing the strikes.

Place your bets.

While I agree with the premise of your response, doesn’t firing 59 cruise missiles into Syria after all of his statements advising/promising to stay out of Syria throughout the entirety of the campaign bother you even a little bit?

I agree. Cernovich had heard it was happening hours before it happened.

What happened was that Trump warned congressional leaders hours before the airstrike, who then told Hillary, who then wasted no time jumping in front of the cameras to leak classified intel.


That’s pretty much how I see it.
