Questions About Hillary's Handling of Her First First Crisis

What did Hillary do to provoke this hostage taker that he would take her people hostage?
Why has Hillary lost so much respect among the world's hostage takers?
Why was the first response an armed (SWAT) response?
Why didn't she use negotiation first--before sending in the troops?
She plans to meet with her staff--but, why won't she meet with the hostage taker?
Why the delay in going to NH? What took so long for her response?

Why didn't she have an exit plan in case the standoff became a quagmire?

[joshhiggins]

She deceived us. The hostage taker had no WMD, just harmless railroad flares.

[Bernard]

She did not have time to mobilize Janet Reno or the Gonzales house thugs; this was the best she could do.

“The hostage taker had no WMD, just harmless railroad flares.”

It was the best the Costume-and-Party SHOP could provide on such quick notice.

Lessee now....Rochester starts with an “R”. So does......Reichstag! It DOES give one pause...no one was injured, the timing is suspicious. Maybe I’m just a little bit paranoid but I smell a RAT...SSZ

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

I bet the whole thing was setup so she has the opportunity to act ....so presidental....!

The most important is why this happened at all...she and her inept team new all of the information they needed to know to stop this, but did not connect the dots. Her opffice is totally incompetent and I think there should be hearings to find out how she dropped the ball!

Proof of this is shown by how quickly they were to determine the identity of this assailant. How could they be so effecient at finding the family of this mentally ill person after the event,but could not have known it was coming before hand? It’s a conspiracy, I tell ya, a conspiracy!

This was set up to give her cover to act as an “executive” so she can put it on her resume, except that she made no decisions at all except to come back when it was all over.

Why wasn’t she there sooner? Why did she wait while all that suffering took place there? She could have given the guy what he wanted and gone in to talk to him...

She is as bad as Bush reading to the kids, since she was out shilling for votes when she should have gone screaming to everyone that there was an emergency. I’ll bet she’ll claim that she was reading to the children and did not want to leave in a hurry so as to not scare them.

Sarcasm not off, but turned up a little.

I heard of a politial party planning this to make the candidate look good but those plans were shelved back in the 50s. It was called “hoodwinka.”

First Crisis?

[DoughtyOne]

I have asked to address the American public regarding a matter that took place yesterday.

Early yesterday I was informed that a man with weapons of mass destruction was causing trouble among the locals in one of my campaign headquarters.  Not having more information than that, I voted to support a government quasi military campaign to put an end to the threat.  I have since come to regret this vote of approval.  I will explain.

It has become clear that we were misled about the WMDs.  The government official(s) lied to us.  It is now clear they were evil war mongering men on a power trip, trying to gain control for their own evil purposes, although exactly what those evil purposes were remains unclear at this time.

Once the WMDs were claimed to exist, the local quasi military forces took measures to secure the location.  They stopped traffic in front of the headquarters.  They moved people out of the immediate area.  And it is basically accurate to say, they destabilized the immediate region.  This was totally unnecessary.

We could have settled this matter peacefully, without putting lives in jeopardy.  I was able to contact the inspectors from the United Nations.  If we would have been given time, we could have alleviated the concerns of our government leaders.  It is true the man inside wouldn't allow inspections, but we could have overcome that in time.  I am convinced of this.

If I had known then what I know now, I would have called for a peace conference to be attended by all interested parties.  We would have implemented that plan within days, and have come to a peaceful settlement without endangering lives.  My staff was so traumatized by the actions of the quasi military campaign, that their lives may never return to normal.  People lives within the immediate region were thrown into chaos.  All this was unnecessary.

One hour into the quasi military campaign, it had become evident to me that this had turned into a quagmire.

Local government officials called for a pullout.  I was glad to lend my support to that plan.  Unfortunately, one official blocked the desires of the majority.

Local government officials voted to defund the quasi military campaign.  I was glad to support that also.  Still, one official blocked the desires of the majority again.  I was furious.

At this point about all I could do is side with others who professed their undying support for the quasi military group, but not their campaign.  No, we just couldn't do that any longer.

Luckily, the media stuck with us during these dark times.  They presented our side of the story almost exclusively.  It was greatly appreciated what with the elections coming up next year.

In one last desperate move, I signed onto a resolution declaring the local police to have committed acts of genocide over ninety years ago.  For a few hours it looked as if they might withdraw their support of the operation, but even that fell through.

Despite all our best efforts, the quasi Military campaign continued.  And thanks to my and other like minded people's support, the campaign headquarters campaign was successful.

I would like to express my appreciation to those who joined me to support this effort.  While we may have had some differences along the way, we stuck it out and achieved victory.

God bless the people of Iraq my campaign headquarters.

In closing, let me assure the good people of America, my consistent leadership will continue long into the future.  You can count on me.

The punishment the "alleged" hostage taker receives will be telling.

She really dropped the ball in hiring ineffectual campaign staff that could not even successfully search the admittees into the building to keep them from having WMD.

If they can’t secure one building, how will they secure New York? /s off

[Ditter]

I’ll bet it was a set up........ so we would stop thinking about.......... now what were we thinking about before? Why can’t I remember????

[Yaelle]

Hillary KNEW about this before it happened. WHY ELSE would she have arranged to be in VIRGINIA instead of in New Hampshire? Hm???

[Warriormom]

When I saw her on TV last night, making her statement in front of her house, I couldn’t help but notice that her “people” had staged the scene to make it look like she was standing outside of the White House. I also noticed that she had someone do her hair and makeup. She looked all made up like she does in the debates, not like she looks on an average day.

This guys’s story about not being able to afford adequate health care and “needing Hillary” feeds right into her campaign. I smell a big fat RAT here.

HILLARY SORT OF LIED -- PEOPLE SORT OF DIED

[eeevil conservative]

There are plenty of things to attack Hillary on—try using issues.

These questions make you look ridiculous.

This was a law enforcement matter, which answers most of your silly questions.

You make all FReepers look silly when you post something like this.

[Yaelle]

ROFL, d1!!
