    Default Clinton the new Iron Lady?

    C'mon... DevDave, Xiahou, Gawain, CR...

    You can't tell me this kind of thing doesn't make you warm up to her a little bit:

    Specifically:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    "We cannot negotiate with Hamas until it renounces violence, recognizes Israel and agrees to abide by past agreements. That is just, for me, an absolute," Ms. Clinton said, echoing the long-standing policy of the Bush and previous U.S. administrations.


    Heck yes!

    At least this removes a bit of the ambiguity that seemed to be coming from Obama about negotiating with bad guys...

    Blah blah blah. Talk is cheap and Boomer politicians corner the market on that commodity. I'd sooner put money on Arnold cleaving some California Democrat in two with that Atlantean sword he used in Conan than Billary's hot air carrying any kind of weight.

    She's undermining Obama, and making it more difficult for him to offer Hamas conciliations in order to stop the rocket attacks and end the fighting. Note particually "for me", she's saying that when she's sent to the Middle East to broker the peace deal it will be under duress.

    Obama has already made it quite clear that he is on Israel's side, what Obamian peace talks will do is create yet more oportunities for Israel and its friends in the West cast the Palestinians as unrelenting fanatics who will resist " peace" at all costs.

    If Obama sends her to Gaza, maybe she'll get that chance to dodge sniper bullets.

    Quite honestly, the Palestinians really don't need any help in that department. They do a good enough job portraying themselves that way...

    That's what "clarifications" are for.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
