Clinton rejects charges Hill mishandled N. Korea

Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:47pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday defended her choice for U.S. ambassador to Iraq, saying he made "lemonade out of some pretty bad lemons" in talks to end North Korea's nuclear programs.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee plans on March 25 to hold a hearing on Chris Hill's nomination, which is opposed by some Republican senators who fault his lack of Middle East experience and suggest he mismanaged talks with Pyongyang.

"Both of those criticisms are unjustified and unfounded," Clinton told reporters in response to the comments by Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who last week urged Democratic President Barack Obama to reconsider the nomination.

Senator Sam Brownback, a Kansas Republican, has also voiced misgivings about Hill, calling him "a poor choice" because he does not have extensive experience in the Arab world.

"....made remonade out of some pretty bad remons?"

Hill is a surrender monkey. The Japanese loath him.

He will soon be wearing knee pads like Hillary did in China.

The name of the game is " Do Not Offend China as Sugar Daddy, We want China to keep buying US Treasury Bills to fund the Obama Commie Plan."

Dem knee pad diplomacy. notice how quick they abandoned the human rights issues in China, and the suffering of the starving North Korean populace. dems today have sealed their bleeding hearts, and descend into an era of fascist musings about ideology and elitism.

They have becommne distincly unamerican , and disrespectful of our military , and the freedoms of individual citizens pursuant to the Bill of Rights.

We are reminded of WACO, and other atrocities against individual freedoms resulting in suffering and sometimes death as a result of their elitist approach.America will not be healthy again , untl she is rid of the whole lot of them.

“Clinton rejects charges Hill mishandled N. Korea”

She’s also pretty sure that while Hill is very Caucasian, these charges are racist in nature.

Did she give them a red button that instead of being labeled “reset” was labeled “Launch”?
