At present, what happened is a homeland security issue; hence Janet Napolitano is involved.

It is not a foreign policy situation until Pres.Obama decides to take action any action with or towards a specific country.  If he does, then SOS Clinton would be involved.

So, there is absolutely no issue.. except they all want to kick around the muddied waters to revv things up a bit.

One of the main reasons why the world is such a mess is because of the Brits and their damn colonialism. (And the French and their damn colonialism, plus the Spanish, the Dutch, and the Portuguese and their damn colonialism.) After WW2, the USA got saddled with clean-up duty in so many of these poor countries that were once occupied by European superpowers. The Euros love to complain about us, but their lives wouldn't be so cushy right now if we weren't out there defending the entire free world from terrorists and thugs.

As far as Iran goes, I think interference from the U.S. government would give the Islamofascists yet another excuse to murder or imprison the protesters. They would claim that the protesters are under the influence of The Great Satan (as they are so fond of calling us) and therefore must be stopped at all costs. In other words, if we try to help, we may end up hurting the very people we are trying to save. I'm not saying we shouldn't say or do anything at all, but if/when we take action we would have to proceed very carefully.

I do find it kind of strange that we haven't heard anything at all from Hillary since before Christmas. The attempted terrorist attack is a homeland security issue and it's already been established that the State Department did everything they were supposed to do. But even so, I would expect Hillary to at least release a brief statement of some sort. It does make me wonder if something's going on behind the scenes?

It would be too soon for Hillary to resign to challenge Obama for 2012-- I wouldn't expect her to do that until after the 2010 midterms. A Paterson challenge would be more feasible at this time. But if Hillary were working up to something like that, I would expect her to be very out there in New York right now, doing something highly visible if not overtly political.

The only other explanations I can think of is that Hillary is watching the reaction to the attempted terrorist attack very carefully and she figures it's best to lay low and stay far, far away from all the sht that is currently hitting the fan.

Perhaps but she is very popular in NY and she may want to keep any plans to run close to the chest since the Primary in NY is not until September.  Its scary that I know that since I don't live in NY but the NY Primary is in September unless of course they are voting for President.

Hillary spoke up on the blast in Pakistan that killed nearly 100 people including CIA members.. That indeed is in keeping with her role. Glad to see her walk the straight and narrow path on this. Good for you Hillary!
