Hillary Clinton backs Obama on Syria

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton backs President Barack Obama’s move to urge Congress to back a targeted effort in Syria, in the first comments from her camp since the president unveiled his plan, POLITICO has learned.

“Secretary Clinton supports the President’s effort to enlist the Congress in pursuing a strong and targeted response to the Assad regime’s horrific use of chemical weapons,” a Clinton aide told POLITICO.

Total war against Iran.

She's been obsessed with soaking the streets of Tehran with blood for years now...and this is her chance to finally see it happen.

And, somehow, she'll find some way to argue that mass slaughter will, in this case, be feminist(a thought that will be deeply comforting to the tens of thousands of Muslim women who will die in the name of her twisted, right-wing, American-supremacist version of "liberation&quot .
