WASHINGTON -- Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton called Tuesday for tougher punishment against Syria, saying the country was aggressively supporting terrorism in the "dangerous neighborhood" of the Middle East.

In lambasting Syria, Clinton joined a growing chorus of officials in Washington urging the United States to take a harsher stance against that country following a Feb. 14 bombing in Beirut that killed the former premier of Lebanon.

Playing to the audience, becoming centrist.

She may be getting advanced notice of our intentions towards Syria.

[Brilliant]

Looks like Hillary wants to invade Syria.

[Brilliant]

She's just pandering to the NY base.

[SteveMcKing]

Sure, and I bet the sun will rise tomorrow. I'll also take the credit when it does.

[newgeezer]

Latest proof that the Clinton '08 Presidential Campaign is in full swing.

Hillary the Hawk..

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I say pandering, also

[GraniteStateConservative]

She keeps this up and DU will start hating her.

[RexBeach]

Why don't we send her over there and have her talk non- stop? That ought to show them!

[Peach]

Like anyone thinks she has the background to actually take action against another country. She'll just pretend to be tough in the WOT and the naive will buy right into it.

uh, didn't the syrian government just fall? kinda late for "punishment", ain't it?

[don'tbedenied]

She's doing a brilliant job of moving right on national defense. The DUmmies are beginning to hate her, which means she's doing something right.

"She keeps this up and DU will start hating her."

I'd like to see her push the envelop more. They'd go absolutely nuts.

actually the lebanese PM resigned. The lebanese president is pro-syria

"uh, didn't the syrian government just fall? kinda late for "punishment", ain't it?"

That was the Syrian-backed government of Lebanon.

I stand corrected.

I don't see how this idea is the result of the genius of the most intelligent woman in the USA. If she is a genius, it isn't obvious. Maybe she isn't a genius after all.
