“There’s a different leader in Syria now. Many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he’s a reformer.”

—Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, on “Face the Nation,” March 27, 2011

“I referenced opinions of others. That was not speaking either for myself or for the administration.”

—Clinton, two days later

Obama and Clinton told Assad to “GO”. Assad told them to “GO TO HELL”. I think he’s winning.

Gee, why isn’t ASSAD scared of Hillary and Obie? Bill Clinton is.
