Hillary Clinton Shoots Down 2016 RumorsPosted on Oct 17, 2011
It all comes down to Chelsea now. Hillary Clinton may have made an impressive run on the White House in the 2008 campaign, but she’s not harboring hopes of redoubling her efforts when her rival-turned-boss Barack Obama is out of the picture in 2016. In fact, Clinton isn’t planning to stay on as Obama’s secretary of state past this current presidential term, she affirmed on Monday’s “Today” show. As to exactly what she’ll do come January 2013, Clinton told viewers they would have to “watch and wait” for her next act. —KA

Why does Clinton remind me of the Queen Of Hearts? Perhaps, it is the line,“Off with their heads”.

confirmed: Sec. of State Clinton visited the Tripoli airport briefly today - took several thousand
NATO troops to secure it - though NATO/NTC propaganda has declared near ‘victory’, in truth
they control less than 20% of Libya and have even less popular support - they are being kicked
out of towns and villages daily and will soon loose their foothold in major cites and perhaps even
in Benghazi, where fighting has flared - moreover, Africans are surging in to support Libya’s
partisans
stunts like this photo-op (probably never leaving the hanger as the plane was being serviced) and
all the accompanying NATO war propaganda are intended to demoralize the partisans and
convince other Africans that the resistance is a lost cause - Africans realize what’s being done -
re-colonization - why the resistance is so strong, broad and spreading across Africa, where the
Obomber regime is planing wholesale regime change - e.g.

The cable was issued under Hillary Clinton’s name in July 2009, and asked for
credit card numbers, email addresses, phone, fax, pager numbers and even
frequent-flyer account details for UN figures as well as “biographic and biometric
information on UN security council representatives”.
Carne Ross, a former British diplomat at the UN who now runs the Independent
Diplomat advisory group, said: “The fact that the US is spying on the UN can’t be
a surprise. Lots of countries do it, including our own.”
He said the orders were most likely aimed at US intelligence operatives working
in American missions to the UN.
“Snooping around getting people’s credit card numbers is not what you want to
do if you want to be taken seriously [as a diplomat] at the UN,” he said.

Hilary Clinton has been submerged in this type of conduct for several years. No

Hillary is nothing more than an AIPAC cheerleader, which means she would support the PNAC policy of “Refashioning” the middle east.Had she not been approved by the Israeli lobby she would not be sec. of state. For example, Gen. Zinni served in our military for 30 years but was denied a spot in the Obama administration because he thought the invasion of Iraq was foolish.
It’s a sad day in America when pencil neck geeks and armchair warmongers can veto an American hero.

Clinton would just be another neocon, yes, that’s the truth, she’s a total hawk, just ask Hondurans.

johncp….., where to begin. My post was to point out the obvious similarities
Report thisbetween Obama and Saint Hillary, but I will accept your branding me as a
misogamist, conditionally. What was Colin Powell’s approval rating when he too
was on TV with his jingoism and his thoughtful pronouncements of ‘do what we
want or we will bomb you’. Sure is different now. I wonder if he too, when
retired, got consulting fees from TransCanada for approving Keystone XL,
surely they will both enjoy the consulting fees for approval of which mercenary
corporations got the State Department “security” contracts. Her “70% approval”
surely makes her the tallest leprechaun in the room in her protected office. If
she were to run in ‘12 she would get nowhere. What would her slogan be,
“More of the same, only different”? Did the senator from New York really win
the popular vote, especially being one of Wall Streets favorites? That’s
somewhat akin to being the best surfer in all of Vermont, and I guess that’s why
she had the nomination sewed up before the convention. Except for little
things like caucasus and the way the nomination really works. Your
juxtaposition to Gore is laughable. With all the Clintonista leftovers in the
White House, what would Saint Hillary have done any different, outside of
bringing Greenspan and Rubin back to blow bubbles, paint concrete yellow and
call it gold. Really? A centrist democrat and a centrist republican? Why don’t
we quibble over something meaningful, like which is better, to say you’re with
child, or a little pregnant. I can only assume you are just as ardent a supporter
of Landrieu Bachaus, and even miss Evan Bayh. Here is my condition for
supporting your misogamist label, since every criticism of Saint Hillary is a sign
of hate you must confess to your racism for your comments about Obama.
Impossible to do, I’m sure to a true believer like yourself. Or were you just
trying to add a few brownie points to your feminist merit badge.

It will be Elizabeth Warren in 2016 if the Democrats don’t totally and royally discredit themselves by then….

Blueokie, in fact, Hillary is a million miles ahead of Obama in every regard. Of course, it’s apparently “cool,” (i.e. safe) to attack Hillary, in some hate ridden, (read, anti-woman), quarters. But with her favorability, according to the most recent polls, close to 70%, which further confirms her position as the most highly regarded political officeholder in this country, this minority is fighting a losing battle. The biggest mistake this country made, post 2000, is allowing this mediocrity to steal the presidential office from Hillary. She won the popular vote, a fact I never tire of telling people. If Hillary were to make herself available to run in the ‘12 election, she’d make mincemeat of Obama, and that includes all those republican candidates who are up front about their party affiliation. The differences between Hillary and Barack are numerous and profound. Hillary is a centrist democrat, Obama’s a centrist republican, regardless of what he “says.” Hillary is the equal, or the superior, of any professional in the political arena. Obama is, putting the best face on it, a clueless novice.

she’s scheduled for a photo op in Libya this week, but not formally announced for security
purposes - http://www.maltastar.com/pages/r1/ms10dart.asp?a=16992
reports from the street are that Tripoli fighting is so heavy and TNC looses so severe that
NATO has sent in ground troops (wearing UN badges) to secure the area around the
airport - latest update

don’t expect to read this anywhere in the mainstream media, as it only reports NATO

Ramparts founder Robert Scheer would have covered Spain in 1937
most troubling to NATO is the report that support for the partisans is streaming in from
all over Africa, as NATO’s designs and plans for Africa are becoming ever clearer - latest

Doesn’t anybody actually look at the obvious? Mrs. Clinton is turning 64 years old this month. 5 years from now, in November 2016, she’ll be 69, and were she to serve 8 years she’d be 77 when she left office.
Maybe she just wants to retire and be retired?

Why should she run? The current President was elected because a majority of
Report thisDems, and then voters, decided they didn’t want another “liberal” who was in favor
of globalization, income and wealth inequality, environmental degradation,
expanded wars for no reason than corporate profit, the protection of Wall Street,
etc. etc.etc. And surprise!! We got it anyway. It turns out that all those things we
thought were differences between the two that got Obama the nomination were
illusory, the difference being that now that his name is on the door she can sit
back and be the object of “buyers remorse”. The only difference between another
Clinton presidency and the Obama presidency is which restroom they would use.
Policy wise they are identical
