US Secretary of state Hillary Clinton on Saturday said Washington was committed to working with the Rwandan government toward reconciliation as she marked the 18th anniversary of the genocide.

"The United States stands in solidarity with the Rwandan people, and we admire their resilience and the enormous strides they have made in recovering from that unspeakable event," said the top US diplomat, marking the killings of 800,000 people over roughly 100 days of bloodshed in 1994.

"We are committed to working with the government and people of Rwanda to complete their recovery and move forward toward a future of reconciliation, economic growth, peace, and better lives," said Clinton in a statement.

Around 800,000 people, mostly minority Tutsis, were murdered mainly by Hutu militias.

Yes, there were airplanes full of supplies on the tarmac and ready to go, but President Clinton and his creepy cabinet would not allow them to take off until Rwanda officials agreed to reimburse the U.S. for the cost. Never did take off. There was absolute silence from the White House and their complicit journalist toadies buried the genocide story completely. Seemed like an easy conflict to stop as most of the perps were armed only w/machetes. It’s an outrage that the U.S. sends a Clinton to Rwanda to mark the anniversary. Insult to injury.

She doesn’t care. She’s a soulless sociopath.

There was a whole lot of enabling going on.

Dallaire sized his force based on what he could get and ot what he felt he needed. Thus he went in with far to small a force and was effective only in prolonging the genocide.

He continually kept the Tutsi’ s from driving out the genocidal Hutus.

He should have never put that small force in. Then he should have pulled it out much sooner.

"The United States stands in solidarity with the Rwandan people, and we admire their resilience and the enormous strides they have made in recovering from that unspeakable event," said the top US diplomat, marking the killings of WAY, WAY OVER 800,000 people in roughly 100 days of bloodshed MASS MURDER in 1994.

"Reconciliation"? With WHOM? Hello, Hillary, did you get the memo? THEY'RE ALL DEAD.

What's "unspeakable" is that she has the GALL to commemorate what she personally enabled. They begged for help - they announced what was going to happen, and then they described what was happening as it was happening, and yet she and Bill sat on their hands and refused - REFUSED - to intervene.

A MILLION dead.

She just keeps going lower. No one - NO ONE - goes as low as Hillary. And she's proud of it.

Watching millions of women striving to emulate her utter derangement is one of the most appalling episodes in the history of the human race.

Call me when she says something about the mass-murder committed by her husband in Waco.
