Clinton Channels von Clausewitz
« on: October 15, 2012, 11:20:39 PM »
Hillary Clinton blames The Fog of War for the Libya intel situation. I'm thinking Carl is spinning in the grave. :)

I wonder what it cost Obama to get Hillary to dive under the bus?

It may be a masterful move by Clinton. In one admission, she looks more Eisenhower-presidential-like.....and Obama looks more like an Italian cruise ship captain....

She [Hillary] fell on her sword and impaled them [obama & biden] in the same blow.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Yes, she's so wise she's been telling us to ignore Muslim violence and steam ahead toward "democracy."  Who is the real Italian ship captain?

Well she was the good soldier and took the fall for her boss. Hmm, seems I remember from my rudimentary military experience that you can delegate authority but not responsibility.

Anyone here think that rumors that an Al Queda aligned group might attack a diplomatic mission would be good enough to make a presidential national security briefing?

Roo_ster, that "sea" looks more like a very crowded port, than open ocean...
