Clinton vows smart mix of diplomacy, defense

Give me a break!

Clinton is a horrible choice for this posistion just as Rice was. Radical Islam regards women as weak not strong and will see this appointment as a joke. Too bad our politicians don't understand radical Islam yet!!! Have a great day and hope we will have another under the new administration.

Watch out for those low flying ashtrays and lamps.

Just kidding! How could the smartest woman in the world, just ask her, that brought our country "the vast right wing conspiracy" ever fail at anything?

Hillary Clinton extraordinarly, capable and smart according to John Kerry well only time will tell.
I'm not very good fan of the Clinton's but let see what she will do in the State Department, and hope that she will steer our diplomacy in a better way than is now. I'm not accussing that Secretary Rice has not done a good job, accutually she is being a great Secretary of State even better than her predecessor in the first George W. Bush administration. I just hope Mrs. Clinton do good in her job and make America Shine in the world again.

IT is great to see that a woman who was disbarred for lying on the stand is Secretary of State. It is OK. I am also sick and tired of hearing about how bad Bush is. I would like to see what other president would have done in his shoes. Go Democrats. You will have no one to blame when you run the country in the ground.

Sen. Hillary Clinton sits down before fellow senators today in a hearing to confirm her as the next secretary of state. Scandals have dogged her career, yet never taken a bite. She skates through and around them without ever fully explaining her conduct. Hillary Clinton is among the most corrupt politicians in our nation's history. She devised a scheme to sell taxpayer financed trade missions to Communist China in exchange for campaign contributions. She presided over the theft of the private FBI files of former Reagan and Bush staffers. She led the campaign to slander the women sexually and otherwise abused by President Clinton, and has lied time and time again to investigators, to her colleagues, to the press and to the American people. What was your role in the smear campaign launched by your husband's aides against Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones and other Bill girlfriends. Why did you direct employees to transfer the secret FBI background reports on staffs of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush and bring them to the White House. Why did you fail to disclose $2 million in campaign contributions for your first Senate run relating to an extravagant Hollywood fundraiser etc.

What favors have you doled out to the who's who of rich international businessmen and leaders who contributed millions to former President Bill Clinton's foundation. You told a demonstrated lie about one of your missions overseas as first lady. "I remember landing under sniper fire," you said. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base. In fact, news footage showed you disembarking to a greeting party which lingered on the tarmac as you talked with soldiers. If you cannot tell the truth about a trip to Bosnia as first lady, how can we believe what you tell us about your visits overseas as secretary of state?. As senator, you voted for a use-of-force resolution for Iraq. But when the war went bad and no weapons of mass destruction were found, you claimed the vote never authorized President Bush to go to war. Please tells us how you are competent to serve as top diplomat when you do not understand the wording of important legislation?.

. Why did you direct employees to transfer the secret FBI background reports on staffs of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush and bring them to the White House. Why did you fail to disclose $2 million in campaign contributions for your first Senate run relating to an extravagant Hollywood fundraiser. When the special prosecutor sought her billing records from her days as a Rose law firm attorney, he was told the documents were missing. Then, magically, they appeared in the White House living quarters. How were you able to turn a 10,000 percent profit in eight months in 1978 on a cattle futures investment of $1,000?. Why did you give a factually false statement, as the special prosecutor labeled it, when you denied any role in the unjust firings of seven White House travel office employees. In fact, you played a direct role in the ousters as you and other Clintonites tried to clean house at the White House. In the waning hours of his presidency, your husband pardoned Marc Rich, a fugitive indicted for failure to pay federal income taxes. The clemency came after his wife, Denise Rich, contributed to your 2000 Senate campaign.

She skates through and around them without ever fully explaining her conduct. Hillary Clinton is among the most corrupt politicians in our nation's history. She devised a scheme to sell taxpayer financed trade missions to Communist China in exchange for campaign contributions. She presided over the theft of the private FBI files of former Reagan and Bush staffers.

Tell Orrin G. Hatch United States Senator to really grill for the press then dump Hillary Clinton.

Nor do I trust Obama either. So what is the Obama administration talking about even before Inauguration Day? We are starting to see an attack on some of those programs many worked so hard to secure. Maybe it's all part of the wealth redistribution program. You have it and worked for it, I haven't but want it.

I would love to hear this asked to Hillary. The ONLY REASON you Hillary Clinton are so eager to take State job, is to be a Federal worker so you can give up your US Senate seat, this way, you don't have to pay back all monies and also that debt you made in the 2008 election, and you get out of it debt free, so Hillary, tell the Senate how do you truthfully feel about that, and why are you Hillary lieing to us here in this Senate Committee?. Don't let her or the AP BS you, we happen to know better, do you?.

SIGH - unfortunately hitler will not receive any tough questions from the leftist and some republicans on the committee. she will dance around and try to blame the bush administration for failures instead of taking responsibility of clinton administration. she will be the worst sec of state and i feel sorry for employees. they will hear her screeching over the pa system in the foggy bottom. state department better start handing out ear plugs. she will be an embarrassment and hussein obama better watch her. she will throw him underneath the bus. she will think she is the madame president when she goes around the world. i'm sure the hamas, hezebelloh, and other terrorist thugs will be thrilled to see her in there region. please remember she is socialist!

Hillary Clinton will be a wonderful Secretary of State. Bill Clinton was the best President in modern history. This country was on the right track when he was President. Obviously the above comments must come from repluclicans. Hillary's background and knowledge more than qualify her to be Secretary of State. I wish her the best of luck!

Smart and Hillary don't belong in the same sentence together. I guess she could give our enemies tips on cattle futures (cattlegate) or real estate investments (whitewater--Rose Law firm billing records..et al), since she profited handsomely from all of these scams. No matter to liberals that she did so illegally and if you or I did those things we would be in prison today. Hillary is just more proof that liberals support corruption in politics. Just ask Wm. Jefferson, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Sandy Burger, Bill Clinton and now Obama. How does Hillary sleep at night?

I'm not a Hilary fan. Compared to Hatch, she was blessed with incredible integrity. Would you sent a person from Neiph with no criminal experience to the FBI? Hilary is amazing to hear after Palin. She's sharp, she sees the large picture and she can't hang in there with the best of them. She not a STepford wife.

to disbarred and omar and all the other Clinton haters out there I feel sorry for you. Reading your blogs made me laugh and proved to me how some people are so ignorant of the facts. I would be afraid to ask you what newspapers you all read. If you didn't agree with Hillary Clinton because of her politics I would say ok it's your opinion. But distorting the facts about her being disbarred for lying under oath (which is not true..it was Bill Clinton lying about Lawinsky) or about Whitewater or other distortions is childish and self serving. Get the FACTS before you look foolish.
