In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Called Obama To Say She Wasn't Trying To Attack Him [View all]karynnj
(61,074 posts)1) Syria - Was there ANY support for doing what she said. You can look at the responses to McCain requesting almost the same thing and see the IDEA was strongly rejected.
2) Iraq - Was there ANY unhappiness expressed when the last troops left Iraq? I didn't see it.
3) Iran - Clinton has stood on the fence on this - sometimes taking credit for opening the back channel negotiations - and sometimes expressing reluctance to reduce any sanctions. Here, she completely aligned herself with Netanyahu. Though less clear than 1) and 2), I suspect the bulk of DU prefers Obama's efforts.
4) Israel - Here, I think she likely has some support. What I dislike is that there was at least an implicit attack on the administratio by Netanyahu, whom Hillary endorses completely. I think Israel's attack on the US (Kerry and Obama) was unseemly and ginned up by Netanyahu for political reasons. They deserved more respect and it is pretty clear Netanyahu stabbed them in the back. I also think there was nothing wrong with showing concern for the loss of innocent lives.
