Yep... That Hillary Clinton Sure Is Doing A FINE Job...


(*SNORT*)

Each day I open my inbox to find my daily Foreign Policy Daily Brief.

Today's headlines:

There are fresh reports today of a heavy Syrian assault on the flashpoint city of Homs (pictured above during a protest on Friday), two days after Russia and China vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Bashar al-Assad's crackdown and pressuring the Syrian president to step down.

(*SARCASTIC CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*)

Way to "manage" our relationships with Russia and China, Madam Secretary! Woo-hoo!

In a news conference in Doha on Monday, the rival Palestinian movements Hamas and Fatah announced that they've formed an interim unity government led initially by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas ahead of elections.

Ah... yes... another "triumph" for U.S. diplomacy!

(*SNORT*) (*SMIRK*)

Egypt is putting 19 Americans - including the son of U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood - and several other foreigners on trial...

(*HEADACHE*)

Hey... how's that... er... "Arab Spring" working out for us, Madam Secretary? The "occasional" hiccup, huh?

(*SMIRK*)

In the latest development in Iraq's political crisis, a lawmaker in the country's Sunni-backed coalition says the Shiite-led government may take away his immunity from prosecution.

(*SARCASTIC CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*)

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism is reporting that CIA drone strikes on suspected militants in Pakistan are also killing rescuers and mourners.

Making friends and influencing people across the globe...

(*SIGH*)

Folks... this is just this morning's briefing...!
