Jim Geraghty at NRO discovers a Hiliarious flip-flop on Pakistan:
Flip –
July 27 : US Democratic presidential candidate and New York Senator Hillary Clinton has rejected suggestions of a unilateral US strike in Pakistan’s tribal region, American troops should accompany Pakistan troops.
Addressing a fund-raising dinner organised by the National Association of Pakistani-Americans, Hillary said a unilateral US strike would not produce the desired results, but would create fresh problems.
Only a combined effort could destroy militant hideouts in the area, she added.
Flop (yesterday) –
But she did not rule out U.S. attacks inside Pakistan, citing the missile attacks her husband, then-President Bill Clinton, ordered against Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan in 1998.
“If we had actionable intelligence that Osama bin Laden or other high-value targets were in Pakistan I would ensure that they were targeted and killed or captured,” she said.
Nice example, Hiliary. That empty-tent strike wasn’t even successful in its primary mission, much less the secondary mission of doing anything to Al Qaeda or Osama bin Laden.
I know she doesn’t have the balls to do the job right, especially if it can’t be done quickly.
