Clinton spoke to Pakistan FM about Afghan attacks
2012-04-17
[Dawn] US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Woman to Call at 3 a.m. and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John C. Calhoun ...
spoke to Pakistain's foreign minister about their shared responsibility to confront faceless myrmidons following Sunday's attacks in Afghanistan, the State Department said in a statement on Monday.

Afghanistan's Taliban attacked Kabul on Sunday with heavy kabooms, rockets and gunfire in one of the most serious assaults on the capital in the past decade.

Clinton and Pak Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar "discussed the cowardly attacks in Afghanistan," the statement said.

"(Clinton) underscored our shared responsibility for robust action ... to confront and defeat Islamic fascisti and violent orcs."

Clinton, who was visiting Brazil's capital, also discussed the "next steps in the US-Pak dialogue" following the conclusion of a Pak parliamentary review, State Department Victoria Nuland said.

#6  Even Obama is not that dumb, Besoeker.

#5  Not to say that a new VP may not be selected. But it won't happen that late in the campaign. Labor Day? It'd be essentially announcing "the Obama campaign is in disarray" to both the voters and the international community.

If it did happen, it would have to happen before or during the convention.

And I highly doubt it'd be Ms Clinton.

#4  A reasonable concept, Besoeker, assuming those Vince Foster conspiracy theories are pure fantasy. Given the recent Secret Service behavior, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with the bet, if I was Zero.

#3  That does seem plausible, Besoeker. Certainly President Obama will need a woman to offset the pooch-screwing Ms Rosen did on his behalf in that direction, and our honourable secretary of state brings her own voters to the table

#1  Prediction:

Joe Biden schedules a Labor Day 2012 press conference at which he announces his intention to decline the 2012 Obama VP run and retire to spend more time with the family and his writing.

The Hildebeast then becomes the Obama 2012 VP running mate, and follow-on 2016 Democratic candidate.
