Hillary Clinton: 'Failure' To Help Syrian Rebels Led to The Rise Of ISIS -- Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic
The former secretary of state, and probable candidate for president, outlines her foreign-policy doctrine. She says this about President Obama's: "Great nations need organizing principles, and 'Don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle."
President Obama has long ridiculed the idea that the U.S., early in the Syrian civil war, could have shaped the forces fighting the Assad regime, thereby stopping al Qaeda-inspired groups—like the one rampaging across Syria and Iraq today—from seizing control of the rebellion. In an interview in February, the president told me that “when you have a professional army ... fighting against a farmer, a carpenter, an engineer who started out as protesters and suddenly now see themselves in the midst of a civil conflict—the notion that we could have, in a clean way that didn’t commit U.S. military forces, changed the equation on the ground there was never true.”
Well, his former secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, isn’t buying it. In an interview with me earlier this week, she used her sharpest language yet to describe the "failure" that resulted from the decision to keep the U.S. on the sidelines during the first phase of the Syrian uprising.

My Comment: I cannot think of one Hillary Clinton foreign policy accomplishment when she was US Secretary of State .... so her criticism of President Obama and his foreign policy is somewhat .... hmmmm .... debatable. But there is no question about one thing .... this interview tells me that if she is healthy and if her husband is supportive (which he is) .... she is definitely going to run for the U.S. Presidency in 2 years.
