Hillary Clinton criticizes Obama's foreign policy 'failure'; strongly defends Israel

Ahead of a possible presidential run, Hillary Clinton appears to be distancing herself from what she called President Barack Obama's foreign policy "failure": the decision not to intervene during the early stages of the Syrian civil war.

In an interview with The Atlantic published on Sunday, the former secretary of state says the "failure" of the United States to those protesting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad led to the rise of al-Qaida-inspired groups like ISIS, the militants currently creating havoc in Syria and Iraq.

“The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad — there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle — that failure left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled,” Clinton said.

The former first lady and U.S. senator said she fears the jihadist groups currently gaining strength in the Middle East will expand their sights on Europe and the United States.

Hillary can’t recall any of achievements as SOS so now she has to blame Obama or Valerie or Kerry.

Any Jew who believes Hillary supports Israel is dumber than a box of rocks.

OTOH, there are plenty of Jews willing to sell out Israel, and supporting Hillary is just the way to do it.

The lying liar is correct about this:
“The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad — there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle — that failure left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled,” Clinton said.
She's one of those responsible for doing nothing about the Benghazi atrocities; who can forget her greatest hit, "what difference does it make?" and her Reset button? And she's lying about supporting Israel: Thanks NormsRevenge.

You can always count on the Machiavellian Clintons to first, above all else, save their own political skin.

Obama’s hate israel policy must be hitting a sour note in the polls or she wouldn’t be playing this tune.

Hillary Clinton/Ben Ghazi, 2016: `As corrupt and venal as Bill, but twice as mean and feckless.’

Honestly, it’s hard to figure who hates Israel worse, Hamas or Mrs. Clinton. She has spent the better part of two decades trashing Israel and snuggling up to its enemies. She hasn’t come to it’s defense at all during that time. While the Democrats, the Republican President and his staff, Congress, and the U.N. have demanded Israel show restraint every time it fought for it’s survival, Mrs. Clinton remained mute.

This woman is a conniving political monster. She wants the White House more than any person that ever lived. George Washington left because he didn’t think it was right to stay. She wants to get in, because she doesn’t think it’s right for her not to be there.

Washington was the father of our nation. Hillary could be the mother of it’s demise.

when she’s right—she’s right. Time to toss Obama under the Bus—Hillary, if your want the White House—EXPOSE Obama and all of his criminal actions. Make The One Toxic and you will be doing America a service.
