Jim Geraghty in yesterday's Morning Jolt:
Hillary Clinton suggests that criticizing Obama makes Afghans want to kill Americans. Madam Secretary, with all the respect due to your office: Shut up.
Your job is to represent us, not to tell us what we can and cannot say in response to American policy and overseas events. . . .
Her latest attempt to spin criticism of the administration as somehow off-limits in the name of diplomacy:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton defended President Obama's apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai and warned that the GOP's condemnation of the apology could further "inflame" the situation.
Last week, U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan accidentally burned some Qurans, which sparked deadly protests in the country. Obama apologized to Karzai for the "unintentionally mishandled" books – a move that has been criticized by some Republicans.
"I find it somewhat troubling that our politics would inflame such a dangerous situation in Afghanistan," Clinton told CNN on Monday.
. . . Allahpundit [writes][,]
Which Republican soundbite, I wonder, does she think has "inflamed" a situation that's already inspired Afghan lunatics to launch suicide attacks on NATO bases and shoot American troops point blank in the head?
I haven't heard of a single case of someone abroad grumbling about Newt Gingrich's rhetoric; I have read a lot of quotes from Muslims venting their rage at infidels who would dare disrespect Islam by burning the Koran.
As a prominent American leader said, "I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration."
That leader, of course, was Hillary Clinton in 2003.
