Gingrich: Hillary Clinton's Boko Haram problem
CNN ^ | May 9, 2014 | By Newt Gingrich

Posted on 05/09/2014 6:32:44 PM PDT by kingattax

Hillary Clinton's leadership as secretary of state regarding the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram could become at least as serious an issue as her decisions surrounding the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

Much of the attention Thursday was on the announcement that the House will create a select committee to investigate Benghazi, but the same day, Daily Beast reporter Josh Rogin revealed details about her time as secretary of state that raise significant questions about her broader record on issues of terrorism.

Rogin reported that from 2011 through early 2013, the Clinton State Department repeatedly rejected efforts to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization.

In recent weeks, the group has exploded onto the world stage by kidnapping more than 250 girls at a Nigerian boarding school.

I guess Obama will have to sent Hillary over to Nigeria to deliver a “Reset” button.

I think it would be a mistake to concentrate on one Hillary issue and instead narrate it as a string of failures.

My guess is that Obama/Hillary got the media to cover the Nigerian story in order to get other stuff like Benghazi out of the headlines.

LOL. Now it's backfiring on them. Hillary lost the dems the House in '94 with HillaryCare. She presided over NO accomplishments as SOS other than disasters in Libya and Egypt. Now Nigeria is coming straight at her.

I remember someone from Arkansas saying that things would be fine in the state if Hillary didn’t keep screwing everything up.

She just inserts herself wherever she thinks she wants to be and throws her weight around, screaming and barking orders that polite people let her get away with, and then the media thinks she’s worth playing up. And then she pushes her way farther for the next round. Astonishing to think this pushy person who mostly screws everything up could use this ploy to reach the White House.

It is a potentially devastating addition to a record as secretary of state that included a number of decisions favoring the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (after abandoning a longtime U.S. ally there), as well as appeasing a virulently anti-American regime in Iran -- moves that have not turned out so well, to say the least.

One of the things power-crazed Dummycrats have elevated to an art is to act like it never happened (when their policies turn disastrous). "Faking amnesia means never having to say you're sorry."

=================================================

THE WOMAN WHO WOULD BE PRESIDENT Hillary Clinton is now decrying the infamous kidnapping of 300 Nigerian schoolgirls, but she never mentioned that her State Department (which she ruled w/ an iron hand)---- refused to place the savage "Boko Haram" terrorist group on the State Dept list of foreign terrorist organizations...... way back in 2011, after the group bombed UN headquarters in Abuja.

Hillary's refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen Senators and Congressmen.

“The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didn’t use. And nobody can say she wasn’t urged to do it. It’s gross hypocrisy,” said a former senior U.S. official who was involved in the debate.

“The FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department really wanted Boko Haram designated, they wanted the authorities that would provide to go after them, and they voiced that repeatedly to elected officials.” (Excerpt) Read more at thedailybeast.com ...

Hillary refused to place the savage "Boko Haram" terrorist group on the State Dept list of foreign terrorist organizations.....and today puts on her best "outrage act" over the kidnapped girls.

====================================

THE COVER-UP BEGINS Hillary's whining before Congress: "what difference does it make" was the start of the cover-up. Who can forget Obama and Hillary's love fest on CBS' 60 Minutes?

Obomba hustled Hillary on 60 Minutes to gaze in adoration,
after Hill's arrogant dismissal of the Benghazi massacre before
Congress. I thought sure Obama was gonna give 'er a B/J on
broadcast tv....he was THAT grateful.

For sure CBS will give Hill ample airtime so that she emerges pure and virginal for 2016. CBS will kneel in obeisance and give her 2-3 segments to explain it all away.....the word "Republicans" is already forming on those forgetful lips.
