Hillary Clinton motorcade pelted with tomatoes, shoes in Egypt

52. Both Clinton and her hand-picked shithead Frank Wisner were shilling for Mubark publicly as...

...as recently as Feb 3rd, 2011. The President was so furious at the little coup that Clinton and Wisner had planned that he had to enlist help from John Kerry to distance himself from their bullshit back-patting of a dictator.

Wisner, Mr. Obama’s envoy to Cairo, had just told a Munich conference that Mr. Mubarak was indispensable to Egypt’s democratic transition.

Mr. Obama was furious, and it did not help that his secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mr. Wisner’s key backer, was publicly warning that any credible transition would take time — even as Mr. Obama was demanding that change in Egypt begin right away.

Seething about coverage that made it look as if the administration were protecting a dictator and ignoring the pleas of the youths of Cairo, the president “made it clear that this was not the message we should be delivering,” said one official who was present. He told Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. to take a hard line with his Egyptian counterpart, and he pushed Senator John Kerry to counter the message from Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Wisner when he appeared on a Sunday talk show the next day.

That's less than a week before Suleiman announced Mubarak had resigned. Lotta revisionism going on in this thread.
