Why Do They Need Hearings?
January 13th 2009 General, DemCong, Clintons

Clinton’s confirmation hearing.

I thought that the Anointed Ones’ choices would be confirmed with a single voice vote.

Clinton said that American diplomacy is in need of new federal support and emphasis to counter festering crises around the globe. She said U.S. military power must be accompanied by an economic and diplomatic initiative she called “smart power.”

“I believe that American leadership has been wanting, but is still wanted,” Clinton told senators. “The president-elect and I believe that foreign policy must be based on a marriage of principles and pragmatism, not rigid ideology.”

What do they know about principles? And be prepared for a major increase in foreign “aid.”

Kerry voiced support for Clinton’s proposals to seek greater federal support for U.S. diplomacy and said only “active diplomatic engagement” could address problems in Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and elsewhere.

It could work. If the “diplomats” wear cammies and carry M16’s.
