Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is not nearly the gaffe-machine that Joe "yet another foot in my mouth" Biden, or Barack "where's my teleprompter" Obama is. However, occasionally, she gives us a doozy - or two.
Former First Lady Hillary Clinton pulled off two "miss-speaks" during her recent trip to Asia.
In New Delhi on July 20, at a press conference, Hillary was asked if the United States opposed the transfer of sensitive reprocessing and enrichment nuclear technology from India to other countries.
She said, "We don't," in clear contradiction to the policies of both George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, in which those administrations have refused to allow India to transfer sensitive technology, citing proliferation concerns.
Later that week in Thailand, Mrs. Clinton in a BBC interview revealed that the United States has "no relations" with Burma (a.k.a. Myanmar).
Contrary to Hillary's understanding, there is a U.S. Embassy in Myanmar, and though the relations with Burma are currently very delicate and strained, they have maintained formal diplomatic ties with us.
To try to cover up Hillary's ignorance, State Department officials said Hillary Clinton meant they do not have "full" diplomatic relations.
Perhaps it is time to get Hillary a teleprompter?
Naw, would never work, because there are not enough of them remaining. From what I understand, a couple of Obama's teleprompters have fallen off of stages and are broken, leaving Obama with not enough of the devices to spare.
The teleprompters committing suicide like that, I guess, is Hillary's loss. I suppose she'll have to actually get to know a few facts.
Not surprising that she couldn't get the facts straight, however. The Left tends to spend a lot of time in a realm that is far from reality. It is a sad side effect of Utopian Fantasy Politics.
