"any more blood on her hands"

Blood on her hands...........she is awash in the blood of others.

Hillary makes Lady Macbeth look like a school girl.

She could be burnt out and just want to quit, getting out of politics.

A BIG maybe in the presidential run itself. Depends on what happen to daughter Chelsia and her hubby, and the giving to her of future grandkids.

Astute. She doesn’t want Syria on her resume for 2016. Guaranteed.

Too much wine tasting in Australia last month?

Hope it isn’t serious.

Hillary is sick with worry. She like most government workers abhors work. If she travelled to Syria she would actually have to do what she was paid for. It’s more fun to travel with your entourage to places like China, Ireland, Singapore, Peru, South Africa and France.

I find myself wondering if it is cirrhosis?

That’s my feeling, too; she knows things are out of control in Syria (and the ME in general) and she’s distancing herself. She’s pretty inept herself, but she’s just been carrying out Barry’s orders in the ME and I think she’s getting tired of being blamed for the results. I’m not sure she was thrilled when he tried to get her to take the blame for Benghazi, and there may be hard feelings there.

“Stomach virus” indeed. That’s the classic “calling in dead” excuse when you don’t have any symptoms of anything that might make the excuse more convincing.

"Translation: She wants no part of that mess."

I think so, too.

Friends of Syria.....that has to be one wild-ass party. I'd avoid them, too.

She doesn't want any Middle East "stink" on her. Her "stink" in enough.

"Or, maybe she just has a tummy-ache...."

Wonder if she travels with her own toilet seat. Some celebs do.

Never send the person to the negotiations, who has the power to make decisions.

Good tactic, even if it’s unintentional.

That’s another good point. She’s stalling for time, and that’s certainly a good way of doing it.

I think she’s had it. And I’m sure she’s tired of being used by Obama. And we’ll likely never know what he has on her. But it must have been big enough that he could get the entire party to turn on her.

B) She needs time to prep her BS for the Benghazi hearings, e.g. why were the consulate security guards unarmed?

Makes the most sense.
