I know that she seems invincible, but she seemed invincible in 2007, and her Iraq War vote killed her campaign.<\/p>\n

Well, now she has strongly endorsed bombs for peace in Syria<\/a> (king of like f%$#ing for virginity):<\/p>\n

Former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday endorsed President Obama\u2019s call for military strikes against Syria and said \u201cit would be an important step\u201d if Syrian President Bashar al-Assad surrendered his stockpile of chemical weapons.<\/span>

<\/span>\u201cThe Assad regime\u2019s inhuman use of weapons of mass destruction against innocent men, women and children violates a universal norm at the heart of our global order, and therefore it demands a strong response from the international community, led by the United States,\u201d she said.<\/span>

<\/span>Clinton, a potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, made her first public remarks on Syria during a previously scheduled appearance at the White House. She said she had just come from a meeting with Obama, during which they discussed a proposal advanced by Russia to avert U.S. military strikes by having Assad turn over control of the country\u2019s chemical weapons to international monitors.<\/span>

<\/span>She said that such a move would be important but that \u201cthis cannot be another excuse for delay or obstruction, and Russia has to support the international community\u2019s efforts sincerely or be held to account.\u201d<\/span>

<\/span>She also suggested that the Russian proposal came about only because of a \u201ccredible military threat by the United States.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She’s been coy about running, but anyone who votes for this clusterf%$# in not going to get the nomination, and she has learned her lesson.<\/p>\n

I will say that my opinion of her has improved in the past few days, if just because her successor appears to be either batsh%$ insane, or a flat out liar, or both.<\/p>\n

I think that this is a tell.  Clinton is not running. <\/p>\n

If she had been more reticent, and less explicit, she would have been position to thread the needle.<\/p>\n

She chose not to, and it appears to me to be a conscious choice which flows from her not running for President.<\/p>\n

I could be wrong though, my predictions usually are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
