The Sec. State: MIA?
Where is Hillary Clinton?
We just announced that we were pulling the missile defense shield, a move with very significant impacts on our international stance, our allies in Europe and some will believe our relationship with Russia (though I can guarantee it wont do a damn bit of good there). Through all of this, she has been no where to be seen.
Actually, when was the last time you can remember her doing anything public at all?
In her defense, much as I think she is an amoral political operator, I think she is a little more steeped in the realities of politics than our current college professor president. It would not surprise me at all that she is against the move and instead believes that we should have taken on Russia and Iran, the two targets of the system--one directly, one symbolically--instead of trying to appease dictators.
What do you get when you appease a dictator? Them screaming about how they will never give up their nuclear programs, or how the holocaust never actually happened. From Russia you just hear a big chuckle and "Good... goood.... heh heh."
Our Secretary of State is out of the loop, perhaps because she disagrees, perhaps because she was shunted aside after being appointed to appease the party and a few voters, but perhaps (and much as Obama is a great speaker, I think Clinton is actually the shrewder politician, Obama caught a confluence of historical and social waves and rode them to an easy victory) she is stay out because she knows it is better for her.
In this scenario Mrs. Clinton is the invisible Sec. State because she does not want to get involved with the politics of the current administration, saving herself when she runs on a centrist platform in three years which takes down the left-wing President and runs over the still unorganized Republican party...
Just saying.. I think it makes sense...
