Hillary Clinton has decided not only to run away from Barack Obama, but she has joined the Republicans in blaming the Obama administration for the birth of the terrorists group ISIS and the turmoil in Iraq.
In recent interviews, Clinton is quoted as saying that Obama’s “failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad—there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle—the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled,” Clinton said.
As she writes in her memoir of her State Department years, Hard Choices, she was an inside-the-administration advocate of doing more to help the Syrian rebellion. Now, her supporters argue, her position has been vindicated by recent events.
Will Clinton’s decision to go against the president hurt her with the die-hard Obama supporters? Time will tell…
