2014-07-31 |
[CBSNEWS] ![]() ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzlaand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edward Stettinius, Jr.... labeled the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Eastern Ukraine a "form of terrorism" in an interview that aired Tuesday, condemning Russia for aiding the separatists who are accused of taking down the plane. "They were equipped by the Russians. They were trained by the Russians. There may have even been Russians on the ground with them and the result was this horrible attack," Clinton told Fusion during a wide-ranging interview. "And yes, it is a form of terrorism...When you have armed hard boys, aided and abetted by a major country like Russia, able to use surface-to-air missiles to bring down a commercial airline." |

#6 Amazing how she can vacillate between Leftist Progressive and Monroe-Doctrine Nationalist. You gotta admire her flexibility. |

#5 She's not losing her marbles. She knows she can score some easy brownie points at Putin's expense and the MSM won't call her on it. |

#4 A tragic mistake by terrorists, sure. But for it to be 'terrorism', doesn't there have to be some sort of goal? Were they trying to destroy the airline, Hilly? Crush air traffic and bankrupt all airlines? Punish the Dutch for Theo van Gogh? I say the former FLOTUS is losing her marbles. |

#3 I suppose the possibility of there being white supremacists or even *gasp* Nazi types involved makes this a viable statement, as long as no muslims are involved. |

#2 "They were equipped by the Russians. They were trained by the Russians. There may have even been Russians on the ground with them and the result was this horrible attack," Was she speaking about MH-17, or was she experiencing a Benghazi flashback ? |
