Clinton says SNC ‘credible representative’ of Syria
2012-02-24
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Not to be confused with Allan Foster Dulles...
said on Thursday the Syrian National Council (SNC) was a "credible representative" of the country's opposition, ahead of a meeting in Tunisia of the "Friends of Syria" group, Al Arabiya reported.

"The consensus opinion by the Arab League and all the others who are working and planning this conference is that the SNC is a credible representative and therefore they will be present" at a meeting in Tunis on Friday, she said.

Clinton said that the Syrian opposition will become increasing capable and find the means to launch attacks.

"There will be increasingly capable opposition forces. They will from somewhere, somehow find the means to defend themselves as well as begin offensive measures," she told reporters after taking part in a London conference on Somalia, according to Reuters.

"It is clear to me there will be a breaking point. I wish it would be sooner, so that more lives would be saved, than later, but I have absolutely no doubt there will be such a breaking point," she said.

#9  Goo-goos = Good Governmenters.

Basically agitate for clean government until 'their people' get in office or the current incumbents placate them, then they shut up.

In Chicago it's an epithet.

Park Ridge is where goo-goos live. They know nobody, and nobody wants anybody that nobody sent.

Youse can take dat to da bank.

#4  Like Obama, it must have surely been her Chicago experience.

Hillary was not from Chicago, she was from Park Ridge.

Her breadth of knowledge and vast understanding of geo-politics and the middle east is quite amazing. Like Obama, it must have surely been her Chicago experience.
