Hillary Supports Ethnic Cleansing

Notice any similarities with Hillary's salute, and the solute of the French officer?

Well ... at least she doesn't believe in interfering with it.

In a half-hour interview on Tuesday in her Senate office, Mrs. Clinton said the scaled-down American military force that she would maintain in Iraq after taking office would stay off the streets in Baghdad and would no longer try to protect Iraqis from sectarian violence — even if it descended into ethnic cleansing.

Capt Ed responded to her statement flawlessly.

It’s abysmal, cynical, and completely self-serving. To commit the US to inaction in the face of genocide is nothing short of breathtaking, especially with the Left agitating for action — and rightly so — in Darfur. It should also remind voters of Bill Clinton’s record in Rwanda.

Then you find this little tidbit on Hillary's senate statements page today:

Washington, DC — Deeply concerned by the continuing genocide in Darfur, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has sent a letter to President Bush, urging him to take steps to protect civilians and address the crisis in Darfur. Senator Clinton’s letter emphasized her concern regarding continued violence against civilians and aid workers in Darfur, recent accounts of sexual violence against children, and escalating tensions between Sudan and Chad. Her letter reiterated the importance of a durable peace agreement between the conflicting parties, but emphasized that peace talks should not forestall efforts to ensure the safety of the people of Darfur.

So Hillary is willing to use force to stop ethnic cleansing in Darfur (a problem caused by global warming), but will order US troops to stand by and take no action in Iraq?

Redstate had it right when they said:

Sudan + violence = send troops, protect civilians!

Iraq + violence + vital national security interests = withdraw!

This whole thing sounds like Haiti and Rwanda all over again. She definitely following in her husband's footsteps.
