The thought of visiting North Africa makes Hillary Clinton sick to her stomach

[^_^ 5,021]

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will not attend the Dec. 12 meeting of the Friends of Syria in Morocco due to a lingering stomach ailment.

Clinton was expected to make news at the event by formally recognizing the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, the new opposition leadership organization put together last month in Doha with the help of the State Department, as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people. That designation would pave the way for the U.S. to increase its aid to the Syrian opposition.

She was expected to leave Washington Monday, but initially delayed the trip for one day due to the stomach virus. Late Monday evening, her spokesman Philippe Reines said Clinton was cancelling the whole Middle East trip.

"Since she's still under the weather, we'll be staying put this week instead of heading to North Africa and the Middle East as originally planned," Reines said.

Hillary will continue to avoid the hot spots like North Africa and the Middle East, as long as she still is the leading Democratic candidate for 2016. No reason for her to worry as long as Susan Rice is willing to be the redheaded stepchild for foreign affairs gone wrong.

Susan Rice doesn't have the temperament to be SecState. Some feminazis I have sparred with on librul blogs have called me sexist for saying so, but I don't think a foul mouthed man with a short temper has any business being diplomat-in-chief either.
