‘Here in Israel’: In Jerusalem, Clinton Breaches U.S. Policy

(CNSNews.com) – Contradicting a longstanding U.S. policy that irks many conservatives, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday identified Jerusalem’s location at least three times as being in Israel.

The apparent slip-ups came during Clinton’s first visit to the Israeli capital in two years, on the final day of a nine-country, 12-day trip.

Those words – “here in Israel” and “back in Israel” – fly in the face of strict U.S. government policy not to state publicly that Jerusalem, Israel’s capital, is in fact located in Israel.

The Muslim in the White House is not amused.

Is it possible that Hillary has grown a brain?..........................................................................................................................................................................................Nah, probably didn’t meant to say what she did.

[Izzy Dunne]

Hillary is a closet conservative.

Yeah, that's it.

[SMARTY]

Right, more bungling and serial incompetence from the woman whose naked ambition, personal credentials and direct association with arguably the most venal and publicly disgraced President in American history, in no way recommend her for the position she holds.

It’s a fact that even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Her handler had to know we’d notice....

Agreed but, it was, by design, a very, very subtle message that Zero's campaign wanted to be said so it will be on this evenings news - maybe being presented as a mistake but getting the message across that this administration really supports Jerusalem as being in Israel.

This "mistake" could then grow legs into conversations about ME Peace and how Zero needs a second term in order to support Israel in the peace process.

It's a buncha crap however.....

[fish hawk]

OR, it could be looked at that Hillary is looking at the long haul and wants to be seen as apposed to Obama’s hate of Israel for a future election. If any of Obama’s people confront her on this she can always say it was a slip of the tongue or the other excuses Democrats always come up with.

The Muslim Brotherhood is not going to like this! I think Obama is going to have to make an example out of her.

[originalbuckeye]

Who first instituted this policy? Does anyone in our Govt think Jerusalem is NOT in Israel?????

Did she stay at the King David? It was also interesting to note she did not go to the West Bank and that was also a first. The whole thing was to pander to the Jewish voter. Try to fool them again. Hopefully they won’t be fooled again.....

[Eleutheria5]

Is this a deliberate act, a smokescreen, or just her being too adelpated to keep her instructions straight. I’m not complaining. Whatever it is, I’m for it continuing.

Obama has topped Bill in the venality department. If only he got caught in flagrant delicto with a male intern, he’d beat his public disgrace record, too. Unlikely, though. Probably just contents himself with muscle magazines and Mr. Palmer and his five sons.
