If this is true I wonder what "reforms" she has planned for the U.S. should she become president?

Well, the way your party has been carrying on lately, you'll get to find out in 2016, won't you?

Did you bother to actually read the article you posted or just the headline?

"There’s a different leader in Syria now. Many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he’s a reformer."

She's not saying it, members of congress were saying it.

" there was general consensus by experts on Syria in both parties that Assad was a reformer, even though Clinton’s own State Department reports label him otherwise."

The above indicates that Clinton did NOT think he was a reformer.

Finally: "We had hoped so. We heard what Assad said about what he wanted to do for reform. But when it came to it, he responded as we have seen, very violently."

OK, Clinton HOPED Assad would be a reformer. I think she was joined in that sentiment by hundreds of millions of people on multiple continents.

Bottom line is that the headline isn't backed by the text of the article. Someone needs to tell Mr. Whitlock that if he's going to write a hatchet piece, he should at least attempt to make it believable for someone who can actually fucking read and write.

“There’s a different leader in Syria now. Many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he’s a reformer.”

--Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, on “Face the Nation,” March 27, 2011

“I referenced opinions of others. That was not speaking either for myself or for the administration.”
--Clinton, two days later

I wonder who is going to be fiscally responsible, since the nutsuckers aren't. They certainly are not reformed, borrow and spend.

While I do deplore Hillary Clinton as President, for many reasons, there isn't in the republican-independent-conservative-nazi-nutsucker-whatever they call themselves this week party, that can field a candidate that could raise a burp against her.

Just imagine how batshit insane the attacks on Hilary are going to get between now and election day 2016.

Maybe I'll look into making a hotel and flight reservation for her inauguration in 2017. I couldn't get a room closer than Richmond for Obama's in 2009. I'd like to see this one.
