John Kerry-Heinz our current Secretary of State and
a man who, some would argue, is even more of a disaster at the job than his
predecessor was, recently praised that very same predecessor, Hitlery Clinton,
and the "terrific job" that she did in repairing global ties while
she was America's top diplomat. The way
that this boob described it, was to say that she "did a terrific job of
rebuilding alliances that had been shredded over the course of the prior years."
Kerry-Heinz made these idiot remarks to
none other than another close pal of Hitlery’s, that wannabe journalist George
‘Stephy’ Stephanopoulos, while appearing ABC's "This Week". As they came early in the day, I’m guessing
his remarks were intended to be some sort of prelude to the fact that Hitlery was
expected to, and did, announce later the same day, that she would be running
for the Democrat nomination in the 2016 White House race.
And in what I’m quite confident was something that
provided many Americans with what was a collective sigh of relief was that Kerry-Heinz
stressed that as the nation's top diplomat he was out of politics, and while having
no intension of running himself, also said that it was not appropriate for him
to endorse any candidates this early in the contest. But he did call Hitlery "a good friend,"
and told NBC's "Meet the Press" that "she's highly qualified,
and I'm confident we'll wage no matter what, with or without a primary, a
formidable campaign." But I guess
I’d be a little curious to know exactly what his frame of reference might be
when describing Hitlery as being someone who is “highly qualified” for the job
that she is now seeking. Because he must
use a very different set of criteria than I customarily use when researching
the job performance of a candidate seeking my vote for president.
Now in what I’m sure are must be very different set
of criteria from the one used by John Kerry-Heinz, here are but a few personal
favorites of mine that I used in determining Hitlery’s effectiveness as
secretary of state:
1. She insisted we side with Hugo Chavez’s stooge in
Honduras, creating a rift in our relationship and putting us at odds with the
democratic forces in that country, including the church and middle class. She
was forced to retreat.
2. She touted a Russian “reset.” It was such a
colossal failure that it did not survive her successor’s first week in office.
Russia’s human rights violations have multiplied.
3. She
couldn’t manage to figure a way to reach agreement with Iraq on a
status-of-forces deal. Iraq, mainstream media now tell us, is awash with
sectarian violence. Secretary of State John Kerry-Heinz had to plead with its
prime minister to stop allowing Iranian support for the Syrian government of
Bashar al-Assad.
4. Speaking of which, Hitlery assured us for months
that Assad was a “reformer.” She dragged her feet and then was rebuffed three
times by the un-reset Russians at the United Nations. She delayed in reaching
out to the Syrian rebels and in providing aid. She left a human catastrophe of
70,000 dead Syrians and millions of refugees streaming into Syria’s neighbors.
5. Also among
the dead in the Middle East, of course, was Ambassador Chris Stevens, whose pleas
for more security, Hitlery says, never reached her desk. And whose
responsibility was it to set up a system in which critical cables reached her
desk? She also missed the warning signs of revived al-Qaeda activity in North
Africa. And then there is her classic “What difference does it make?!” wail.
Well, for one thing, it makes a difference in evaluating how competent and
honest she was.
6. She
dispatched George Mitchell as her special envoy for the Middle East, who
promptly became persona non grata with both Israelis and Palestinians. Her
shrieking about settlements only alienated the administration from both sides.
(This approach was renounced by the president in his recent Mideast trip.) She
ambushed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the eve of his trip to
the White House to tell him, that oh yes, the president would be publicly announcing
that U.S. policy was to begin negotiations at “1967 borders” with land swaps.
7. The administration was largely mute during Iran’s
Green Revolution in June 2009, a missed opportunity of enormous consequences,
both in humanitarian and strategic terms.
8. Her
reaction to the Egyptian revolution, and indeed to the entire Arab Spring, was
incoherent and meek. She never managed in four years in office to come up with
a framework for dealing with revolutions in the Middle East or for the repressive
regimes that clung to power.
9. She did not restore our “standing in the world,”
as she vowed to do. In the Middle East, in particular, America’s image is worse
than when Obama took office.
10. Early in her term she sent a terrible message by
informing the Chinese that human rights shouldn’t be allowed to get in the way
of relations between the countries. Unsurprisingly, China’s human right
atrocities multiplied.
Any ‘fair’ assessment of Hitlery’s tenure in office
would have to conclude that she was among the weakest and least successful
secretaries of state in recent history. It
is only by virtue of the Clinton PR machine and an ignorant, compliant
state-controlled media that she is the recipient of a never-ending rock-star
treatment. Kerry-Heinz also brought up
Hitlery’s email saga, reiterating that the State Department was currently
sifting through hundreds of emails turned over by Hitlery which she had sent
during her four years as secretary of state.
Of course he neglected to mention the only emails available for “sifting”
are the ones that Hiterly, herself, provided.
And Kerry-Heinz told CBS’s “Face The Nation”, "We will release all
the emails that (are) appropriate, based on classification," adding that
it was important to ensure no classified information was
"inadvertently" released.
Now if I may, I’d like to touch on Hitlery’s email
‘issue’ myself. Because for John Kerry-Heinz
to make the claim that there is actually some level of concern that there is
classified information that might “inadvertently” released is more than simply
idiotic. Let’s be real here, what classified
information there might have once been in any of these emails was long ago
wiped slick from Hitlery’s own personal server.
So I’m not sure who it is the old John Kerry-Heinz thinks he might be
fooling, other than the made diehard supporters of hers, but the rest of us are
buying none of it. Let’s face, while on
paper Hitlery may appear to be a formidable candidate, the ‘real’ Hitlery is really
anything but. I mean talk about a
fraudulent resume. This woman has been
an unmitigated disaster at absolutely everything she has done, and anyone who
claims to think she’d make a good president is a liar, a Democrat, or both!
