Hillary Clinton Comments, at Last, on the Topic That Is Captivating America

Ruby Cramer, Aug. 31:

When the White House debated this week over the appropriate response to the chemical attack in Syria, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not release a comment. When the administration declassified an intelligence report Friday detailing the death toll — 1,429 people, including 426 children — Clinton stayed silent. And Saturday afternoon, when President Obama announced he’d “take action against Syrian regime targets,” Hillary Clinton again released no comment... Clinton’s spokesmen did not return requests for comment Saturday afternoon or Saturday evening.

Hillary Clinton (or whoever tweets for her) today, in her first tweet since Aug. 19.

Flying to 112 countries is a lot until you consider swimming between 2. Feels like I swim with sharks - but you actually did it! Congrats!

1. Why would anyone who is contemplating running for POTUS say anything about this mess?

6. She's not commenting because she agrees.

Her whole record shows that she supports military intervention in anything that comes along.

She's riding high in the hopes of some Democrats for 2016 Presidential Run. Why would she be different from the rest of our Dem Party Leadership in her views or the President she served or her Husband?
