What a fucking idiot and utter humiliation this dumb cunt is, I 
apologize in advance to all of the world for presenting something like 
this as a diplomat.

In Israel, she of course heaps praise on the jews ,,, Which angers the 
arabs, so now off to Cairo, to tell the arabs what she really meant.
WTF ? We say "Don't build any more settlements!!" And the jews of course 
completely ignore this, and build, build away.
Now the head jew, in a PR, photo op stunt, says nowwww, hes really ready 
to freeze the building - And this dumb lezbo praises him for offering to 
do what we told him he must do months ago, but has balked on it up to now ?
And she goes to these damn arab lands, dresses herself all native, 
walking around with a headrag.
Complete bullshit, I hope her damn plane goes down somewhere in the mid 
Atlantic [oh, shes not flying airbus thats right, so not likely to happen].
I hope it runs into the damn pyramids !
Can't wait to see whats next out of this power hungry cunts mouth - Just 
another embarrassing example of the complete amateur nature of team Obama.

Clinton eases praise of Israel after Arab concerns
AP

Security Writer – Mon Nov 2, 9:32 pm ET

MARRAKECH, Morocco – Trying to mute Arab criticism that the Obama 
administration had retreated from its tough stance on Israeli 
settlements, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday 
softened her praise for Israel's offer to restrain new housing in 
Palestinian areas.

While Israel was moving in the right direction in its offer to restrict 
but not stop the settlements, Clinton said, its offer "falls far short" 
of U.S. expectations.

Clinton said her earlier praise of Israel's offer, during a stop in 
Jerusalem, had been intended as "positive reinforcement." But her 
comment drew widespread criticism from Persian Gulf ministers who 
interpreted it as a U.S drawback on settlements, which have been the 
main obstacle to a resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

In a sign of U.S. eagerness to calm Arab concerns, Clinton is extending 
her trip by one day to fly to Cairo to meet with President Hosni Mubarak 
on Wednesday, her staff announced. She had been scheduled to return to 
Washington on Tuesday.

Clinton's comments in Jerusalem on Saturday appeared to reflect a 
realization within the Obama administration that Netanyahu's government 
will not accept a full-on settlement freeze and that a partial halt may 
be the best lesser option. Her appeal on Saturday seemed designed to 
make the Israeli position more palatable to the Palestinians and Arab 
states.

Clinton had traveled to the region only reluctantly, concerned her visit 
might be seen as a failure, according to several U.S. officials. She 
agreed to meet Israeli and Palestinian leaders after pressure from the 
White House, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of 
anonymity to discuss internal administration thinking.

During a photo-taking session Monday with her Moroccan counterpart, 
Clinton was asked by a reporter about the Arab reaction, and she 
responded by reading from a written statement that appeared designed to 
counter the skepticism about the Obama administration's views on 
settlements.

"Successive American administrations of both parties have opposed 
Israel's settlement policy," she said. "That is absolutely a fact, and 
the Obama administration's position on settlements is clear, unequivocal 
and it has not changed. As the president has said on many occasions, the 
United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli 
settlements."

Clinton's tweaking of her earlier remarks appeared to satisfy at least 
some of the Morocco meeting attendees. Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad 
Malki said Monday that "we have heard her say something completely 
different from that statement in line with previous statements, so we 
are happy that such a position was highlighted and brought back to the 
right line and right now we will see how things will go."

Malki added that "we completely appreciate the sincere efforts made by 
President Barack Obama and his team to take this issue as a top priority 
and to try to deal with it from day one."

In her recalibrated comments Monday, Clinton also called on the Israelis 
to do more to improve "movement and access" for Palestinians and on 
Israeli security arrangements.

She added, however, that Israel deserved praise for moving in the right 
direction.

"This offer falls far short of what we would characterize as our 
position or what our preference would be," she added. "But if it is 
acted upon, it will be an unprecedented restriction on settlements and 
would have a significant and meaningful effect on restraining their growth."

In her statement to reporters, Clinton also stressed that the 
Palestinian authorities deserved credit for what she called 
"unprecedented" steps to improve security in the West Bank and praised 
the Palestinians for progress in training their security forces.

On Monday evening, Clinton met with representatives of the Gulf 
Cooperation Council, plus officials from Egypt, Jordan, Iraq and 
Morocco. Clinton also flew Monday to the south-central city of 
Ouarzazate for an audience with King Mohammed VI, then returned to 
Marrakech for talks with foreign ministers of several Persian Gulf nations.

Clinton was expected to meet separately with Saudi Foreign Minister 
Prince Saud al-Faisal, who has rejected U.S. appeals for improved Arab 
relations with Israel as a way to help restart Middle East peace talks.

After taking office in January, Obama buoyed Palestinian hopes for 
progress toward establishing a Palestinian state with his outreach to 
the Muslim world and an initially tough stance urging a full freeze to 
all settlement construction.

But after making little headway with the Israelis in recent months, 
Clinton urged Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas in a face-to-face meeting 
in Abu Dhabi on Saturday to renew talks, which broke down late last 
year, without conditions. Abbas said no, insisting that Israel first 
halt all settlement activity in the West Bank and east Jerusalem — lands 
the Palestinians claim for a future state.

Then, at a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 
Netanyahu late Saturday in Jerusalem, Clinton praised Netanyahu's offer 
to curb some settlement construction, saying it was an unprecedented 
gesture.

That statement provoked a chiding by Palestinian government spokesman 
Ghassan Khatib. Jordan and Egypt also issued statements Sunday critical 
of the latest U.S. approach.
