Hilary Clinton inverview w/ M. Warner on Pakistan

What a great interview, I didn't vote for Hilary but she sure understands her job on Pakistan. The questions were hardball and Ms. Warner wanted answers to her questions, and thats hard to get from politics and polititions, praise be, I don't think Pakistan can fool us again and just make promises. Thanks for the story. Great Information

The regretful Sec of State

It was stunning to watch this interview with the new Secretary of State. As if it was in a vacuum of denial. We have recently watched the most regretful offering from Mrs. Clinton as Secretary of State. Mrs. Clinton first went to China to announce to the World, the Obama Administration will not be focused on 'human rights', embarrassed all on some ugly Partisan politics trying to 'reset' relations with Russia, and even showed enormous ignorance in the face of one of the World's most famous religious Icons in Mexico. Her snapping at a young youth in Africa, who mistakenly was interpreted about inquiring about former President Bill Clinton was a sincere disaster. But in Pakistan, we have witnessed the utter juvenile offering, which is truly regretful. 1. Sec. Hillary Clinton is being utterly dishonest by saying, "I spent my entire eight years in the Senate opposing him (GW Bush)". No, in fact she voted for the use of force in Iraq, authorizing the mission, in full support of the Bush Administration, using some of the most aggressive language in the Senate to justify this Military Operation. 2. Sec. Hillary Clinton again provides the overwhelming hypocrisy she has become famous for, as the evidence shows the Clinton Administration - President Bill Clinton, refused to take custody of Osama Bin Laden on at least two known separate occasions. How dare Mrs. Clinton be critical of the Pakistani Government in this sophomoric manner, complaining about their failures to capture or kill Al Qaeda terrorists? 3. Sec. Hillary Clinton reveals a bizarre sense of ignorance regarding the current state of the GWOT. It could be another a poor attempt to distort the record of the prior Administration's efforts in capturing and killing Al Qaeda, implying falsely no one who was behind 9-11 has been brought to justice. It is estimated, the Bush Administration eliminated some 75% of Al Qaeda after 9-11. But maybe Mrs. Clinton simply does not know who is currently being held in Guantanamo Bay. Perhaps the Secretary of State doesn't even know who Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is? The self-described mastermind of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon? It is worse than imagined. During the 1990's, we watched The Clinton Administration actually made it their policy to lie about the genocide in Rwanda, provided massive loan guarantees to Enron, peddled pardons to ugly criminals like Marc Rich, foolishly appeased a killer named Arafat - as well as the nutty dictatorship in North Korea, negligently ignored the rise of Radical Muslim Terrorism even after the first attack on the WTC in 1993, and even helped seed the undermining of the Mortgage Industry, etc. How does the Newshour ignore the true folly of the current Secretary of State? Or the un-diplomatic Partisan offering by Mrs. Clinton around the globe? The term 'smart power' was a condescending put down to the prior Administration, and we have watched disaster ever since. Russia, Iran, North Korea, etc., has embarrassed the Obama Administration. The Obama Administration is clearly being considered weak, and is being taken advantage of by many concerning fronts in the World. And the delays in addressing the request of the US Military in Afghanistan, is becoming another form of negligence. It is regretful. The NewsHour must let go of a Partisan embrace, for you are only enabling the very worst.

Moody's vs Cato

This is a standard reason why the NewsHour has slipped off my regular schedule - Moody's versus The Cato Institute! Middle of the road non-ideologue paired up with a self-described partisan. How many times have we seen this? Yawn! I know what they're going to say before the segment starts - just like most of what appears on the NewsHour.
