Hillary Clinton to talk about Syria at White House

[The Straight Story]

(CNN) – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will comment briefly on the debate over potential U.S. military action in Syria when she's at the White House on Monday, according to a Clinton source.

Clinton, whose aide said last week she supported the president's decision to seek congressional authorization for strikes in Syria, is scheduled to appear Monday afternoon for a forum on wildlife trafficking.

Clinton will likely repeat her White House comments during her speech Tuesday night at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the source added.

Also Tuesday night, the president is scheduled to deliver an address on Syria to the public from the White House at 9 p.m. ET.

1. The WH is going all out

[senseandsensibility]

2. How shocking that she supports it.

Not.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. I wonder what the payoff was to Hillary

for her to flush her Presidential ambitions down the shitter at this point.

Or can you imagine that she doesn't know the consequences of what she's doing?

[DURHAM D]

4. She knows Obama is in trouble.

Plus she has obviously decided not to run in 2016.

[Jackpine Radical]

5. That has to be the conclusion.

7. Or just maybe

she believes Obama knows what he is doing and it will all turn out better than you can imagine.

[Aerows]

9. I'd have the intelligence to know when I'm flushing my political capital down the toilet

Hillary won't run, and this is evidence of why she won't.

[BootinUp]

10. If DU's conventional wisdom on political stuff was right even half the time

you might have something there.

[Aerows]

12. Good luck on this one

You might be right, but I think the calculus on warmongering has changed after too much austerity belt-tightening.

[NuclearDem]

6. Hillary's never seen a Middle East war she didn't like

[Aerows]

8. If the White House or Hillary think that it is going to increase support for Syria

They have lost the last marbles they had. No one wants it except such warmongering idiots that have been well defined as warmongering idiots like William Kristol, and now John Kerry. Tread lightly in political landmines, because this is one that the American people do not want.

You can shout austerity all day long, but when tightening our belts becomes open your checkbook for a war we have no business getting involved in? Just slap us in the face and tell us we need to submit and that you know better. It isn't like it is our tax dollars.

11. why do people assume she flushed down her ambitions

especially because if this war is won, it will be one step closer to Iran.

remember this is the woman who did her famous "we came, we saw, he died" gloat when gaddafi died. This is just another step towards her desire to "obliterate Iran" that she expressed back in 2008.

13. Hillary was totally on board with arming the rebels a year before Obama

finally decided to--her judgment is questionable, her credibility weak.

14. She has lost me.
