Hillary Clinton, liar and incompetent

Here Hillary disagrees with Obama, and Obama seems to have it right. Trying to oust Bashar Assad from Syria and install a moderate regime was a huge waste of time, as was the attempt to instil democracy in Egypt. All of that nonsense left room for a bunch is Al Queda genocidal killers to run rampant. Hillary is clearly a liar and incompetent to be president of the Swampland back East.
Atlantic: President Obama has long ridiculed the idea that the U.S., early in the Syrian civil war, could have shaped the forces fighting the Assad regime, thereby stopping al Qaeda-inspired groups—like the one rampaging across Syria and Iraq today—from seizing control of the rebellion. In an interview in February, the president told me that “when you have a professional army ... fighting against a farmer, a carpenter, an engineer who started out as protesters and suddenly now see themselves in the midst of a civil conflict—the notion that we could have, in a clean way that didn’t commit U.S. military forces, changed the equation on the ground there was never true.”
Well, his former secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, isn’t buying it. In an interview with me earlier this week, she used her sharpest language yet to describe the "failure" that resulted from the decision to keep the U.S. on the sidelines during the first phase of the Syrian uprising.
