during the '08 primaries, I was the biggest anti-Hillary poster here

3. I'll vote for her, too, but, you're wrong about her as Sec of State - she's a big reason

that Syria became such a disaster. She always sided with Bush who wanted to expand military mission into Syria, but didn't have the trigger event to pull it off. Bush was uninterested in diplomacy there. Clinton followed that same route. She was remarkably unfocused on Syria as a diplomatic mission. Assad never saw her as an honest broker given her hawkish positions supporting Bush's view of Syria, and 4 years went by where the situation there led to the reality of today. She also hired a firm to 'assess' Keystone pipeline project that she knew ahead of time would support HER decision in favor of the pipeline.

Best SoS......she benefitted from great PR and carefully orchestrated interviews and appearances, but, aside from speaking in other countries about women's rights, she really wasn't as attentive to serious matters of diplomacy as she should have been. And THAT is what happened when you tap a hawk to be Sec of State. Obama never should have done that.
