Remembering the Clintons on Syria

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/13/bill-clinton-obama-syria_n_3434393.html

Former President Bill Clinton offered a stinging critique of President Barack Obama's inaction in Syria during a closed-press event this week, Politico reported, arguing that Obama's hesitance to get involved in the lengthy conflict could end up making him look like a "total fool" and a "wuss."

Hillary Clinton on Syria: 'Assad Must Go'

I know that some here, especially the 2016 crowd whose ads show up right here on DU, will ignore these things. They will also ignore back when Assad was considered a reformer by Hillary herself.

And yes, I am pissed at Obama, because, once again, I voted for him to be the alternative to Clinton, instead of being a clone of the Clintons. No one will dare mention that Bill and Hill lobbied for this war for years.

Hey Bill, you were the damned wuss for letting Zionists run your foreign policy, even though they would backstab you in a heartbeat.

Hey Barack, you are an even bigger wuss for leaping in the same pile of manure.

And Hillary, thank you for reminding me why I intend to make sure your primary makes the ninth level of Hell look like a vacation in Hawaii.

I mean his "Jesse Jackson" comments during 2008 were blatant dog whistles to the racists, and he just, as I think we all know, has a low moral caliber. Why anyone should take his advice on matters of life and death is beyond me.

Although it sure was used against them. The race card was alive and well. Bill stated the simple facts when questioned by a reporter. Jesse Jackson had won two primaries in that state.

People pay good money to hear his advice because he's the most brilliant politician alive, bar none.

This country is doomed, because he is firmly to the right of FDR, as is Hillary.

He seems to have taken on a rather cavalier manner of late.

Assad MUST go. Is there any doubt that the guy is killing thousands of his own people?

As for Hillary's primary. Please......... If she runs, she wins. This won't be 2008.

with OUR HELP.
Just like Israel does,
with OUR HELP.

And I will not doubt she will win if she runs, I just intend to be there laughing when she drives her Bus over Jane Hamsher and the rest of Hillary's followers. That will be followed with whatever tanks she deploys to prove she can be just as much of a testosterone laden idiot as Bill was. Then we might be able to elect a liberal for once.
