Gaffe-tastic: Hillary pretty excited about Kerry's accidental proposal for international control of Syria's WMD arsenal
David Cameron sounds pretty excited about it too. Did Waffles bumble his way into a "solution" to the crisis? Here's the presumptive Democratic nominee creating a little rhetorical space for her party to declare victory and walk away:
"If the regime immediately surrendered its stockpiles to international control, as was suggested by Secretary [John] Kerry and the Russians, that would be an important step," Clinton said. "But this cannot be another excuse for delay or obstruction. Russia has to support the international community's efforts sincerely, or be held to account."
Clinton also defended Obama's push for strikes as instrumental in making such a political settlement possible.
"It is very important to note that this discussion that has taken hold today, about potential international control over Syria's stockpiles, only could take place in the context of a credible military threat by the United States to keep pressure on the Syrian government as well as those supporting Syria, like Russia," she said.GOP Rep. Mike Rogers, chair of the House Intel Committee and devout hawk, made the same point earlier. Apparently, if not for Obama's heroic half-hearted saber-rattling, Assad would be free to flaunt his chemical weapons openly instead of pretending to turn them over while continuing to slaughter Sunnis en masse. There's your Hillary 2016 foreign-policy bumper sticker.
You just can't make this stuff up. The gang that can't shoot straight stumbles upon an "answer" through their own incompetence to extricate themselves from and buy media adulation for their "escape" from the box they placed themselves in. We are watching America being governed and "lead" by smoke and mirrors.
