EUROPE
Hillary Clinton Secrete Hacked Documents
2016ER ATTACKS
Rubio On If He Thinks There Is A Signature
Achievement Of Hillary Clinton’s Tenure As Secretary Of State: “I Do Not.” MR: “Around the world today, perhaps, the
most common theme is one of serious doubt about the U.S.’ willingness to lead
or ability to lead, whether it’s in Asia or Europe, or in any part of the
planet, so what is the signature achievement of her four and a half years at
the State Department?” HH: “Do you think there is one?” MR: “I do not. In fact,
I think if you look at the administration’s foreign policy especially during
her watch, it completely lacked any sort of strategic vision of what America’s
role is in the world in the 21st Century.” [Hugh Hewitt Show, 6/9/14]
Bobby Jindal
Attacked The Obama Administration And Hillary Clinton For Neglecting And
Abandoning Our Allies. “Otherwise, Jindal's remark were heavy on blaming
the Obama White House, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for
fumbling foreign policy. ‘Today, we see a world in which the Obama
administration has neglected or abandoned America's long-standing allies. Our
'special relationship' with Britain is gone, NATO is drifting, Eastern Europe
is disaffected, and Israel has been purposefully alienated from the United
States,’ he said. He went on to say the last months has sparked the rise of
ISIS, Russia's incursion into Crimea and Ukraine, and other flare-ups around
the world.” [The Post And Courier, 10/7/14]
CLINTON DEFENSE
SECRETARY CLINTON HAS MAINTAINED A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH EUROPEAN
ALLIES…
British
Foreign Secretary William Hague On Secretary Clinton: “We Each Relied Heavily
On The Bond Of The Special Relationship During A Time Of Momentous Upheaval And
Change In The Middle East.” “The working relationship between a British
Foreign Secretary and an American Secretary of State is exceptionally close. I
think I speak for both of us in saying that we each relied heavily on the bond
of the Special Relationship during a time of momentous upheaval and change in
the Middle East. But one of the many reasons I enjoyed working with you so much
is because we share the conviction that foreign policy is not just about
responding to the crises of today; it is about improving the condition of
humanity.” [British Foreign Secretary Hague Remarks, 10/11/13]
British
Foreign Secretary William Hague On Secretary Clinton: “As Secretary Of State
You Strongly Supported My Campaign To End The Use Of Rape As A Weapon Of War.”
“As Secretary of State you strongly supported my campaign to end the use of
rape as a weapon of war, and last month we passed an inspiring milestone, when
134 countries came together for the first time to endorse our new global
declaration promising to end sexual violence in conflict.” [British Foreign
Secretary Hague Remarks, 10/11/13]
British
Foreign Secretary William Hague On Secretary Clinton: “I Am Pleased On My Own
Account To Be Able To Thank You For Our Excellent Working Relationship And
Friendship, For Your Inspiring Faith In Value Of Diplomacy, For Your Attachment
To Britain.” “So I am proud to pay tribute to you tonight Hillary, for this
richly-deserved recognition of your service to your country and to the world;
and I am pleased on my own account to be able to thank you for our excellent
working relationship and friendship, for your inspiring faith in value of
diplomacy, for your attachment to Britain, your belief in the power of
friendship between nations, your often infectious optimism, your infallible
good humour, your steely resolve, and for being a Secretary of State who not
only served the American people, but fought powerfully for all of us who want
to see the expansion of human rights and freedom everywhere.” [British Foreign
Secretary Hague Remarks, 10/11/13]
Clinton On U.S.-U.K. Relationship: “It Is So Special To Me, Personally,
And I Think It Is Very Special Between Our Countries…It Doesn't Matter In Our
Country Whether It's A Republican Or Democrat, Or Frankly In Your Country
Whether It's A Conservative Or A Tory…There Is A Level Of Trust And
Understanding.” “‘It is so special to me, personally, and I think it is
very special between our countries. There's just a—not just a common
language—but a common set of values that we can fall back on,’ she said. ‘It
doesn't matter in our country whether it's a Republican or Democrat, or frankly
in your country whether it's a Conservative or a Tory. There is a level of
trust and understanding. It doesn't mean we always agree because of course we
don't.’” [National Journal, 7/3/14]

National
Journal: Clinton “Clinton
Misidentifed The Two Largest Political Parties In The U.K.,” As A Tory And A
Conservative Are One In The Same. “In an interview with the BBC's Woman's
Hour show, Clinton misidentifed the two largest political parties in the U.K.
after being asked about the ‘special relationship’ between the American and
British governments….For those of you not super into British politics: A Tory
is the same thing as a Conservative. They are the same party—it would be like
saying the GOP is different from the Republican Party. Granted, it's not
exactly a Kinsley gaffe, but it does look somewhat embarrassing for a former
secretary of State and, as Alex Seitz-Wald points out, one who has championed
her own worldliness.” [National Journal, 7/3/14]
French
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius On Secretary Clinton: “You’re Both An
Altogether Remarkable Woman And A Friend Of Europe And France.” “My dear
Hillary, I wanted to tell you how extremely pleased we are to have you here at
the Ministry, which is familiar to you. You’ve come here to present your book,
and I’m sure it will be a very great success. It’s been a pleasure for me –
along with our friends present and a number of predecessors you worked with too
– to welcome you for this really friendly discussion, because – even though
this will embarrass you – you’re both an altogether remarkable woman and a
friend of Europe and France.” [Foreign Minister Fabius Remarks, 7/7/14]
French
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius Praised Clinton’s “Leadership…Natural
Authority,” And Her Efforts Aimed At Allowing Women To “Have An Increasingly
Important Role In A Global Society.” “What’s always struck me is that you
don’t often take for yourself the posts you’ve held and the positions you’ve
adopted, you take them so that women genuinely have an increasingly important
role in global society. That’s really something extremely important. I was also
always struck, during the too short a time I worked with you, by what in plain
French is called ‘leadership.’ What’s more, there is no word to translate this
into excellent French, but it’s true to say that this leadership is very
impressive both due to your skills and because you have a natural authority
which means that when you speak, everyone listens, and very often everyone
follows.” [Foreign Minister Fabius Remarks, 7/7/14]
Washington Post: “The Air Campaign Over Libya…Has Emerged As A
Foreign Policy Success For The Obama Administration And Its Most Famous Cabinet
Member, Secretary Of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.” “At 5:45 p.m. on March
19, three hours before the official start of the air campaign over Libya, four
French Rafale jet fighters streaked across the Mediterranean coastline to
attack a column of tanks heading toward the rebel city of Benghazi…Seven months
later, with longtime U.S. nemesis Moammar Gaddafi dead and Libya’s onetime
rebels now in charge, the coalition air campaign has emerged as a foreign
policy success for the Obama administration and its most famous Cabinet member,
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.” [Washington Post, 10/30/11]
Washington Post: Secretary Clinton Was Able To Forge An
International Coalition To Intervene In Libya “Using Her Mixture Of Political
Pragmatism And Tenacity To Referee Spats Among NATO Partners.” “Seven
months later, with longtime U.S. nemesis Moammar Gaddafi dead and Libya’s
onetime rebels now in charge, the coalition air campaign has emerged as a
foreign policy success for the Obama administration and its most famous Cabinet
member, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Some Republicans derided the
effort as ‘leading from behind,’ while many others questioned why President
Obama was entangling the nation in another overseas military campaign that had
little strategic urgency and scant public support. But with NATO operations
likely to end this week, U.S. officials and key allies are offering a detailed
new defense of the approach and Clinton’s pivotal role — both within a divided
Cabinet and a fragile, assembled-on-the-fly international alliance. What
emerges from these accounts is a picture of Clinton using her mixture of
political pragmatism and tenacity to referee spats among NATO partners, secure
crucial backing from Arab countries and tutor rebels on the fine points of
message management.” [Washington Post, 10/30/11]
Reuters:
Secretary Clinton Called German Chancellor Angela Merkel “The Greatest Leader
In Europe.” “Former U.S.
secretary of state Hillary Clinton called Chancellor Angela Merkel ‘the
greatest leader in Europe’ during a visit to Berlin on Sunday and said it was
high time America had a woman leader too, though without confirming she would
seek the job.” [Reuters, 7/6/14]
…WHILE
STILL PRESSURING FRIENDLY NATIONS TO STAND UP TO RUSSIA
Wall
Street Journal’s Washington Wire: Secretary Clinton “Called On European
Nations To Become Less Dependent On Russian Energy Supplies And Impose Stronger
Sanctions.” “‘Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on European
nations to become less dependent on Russian energy supplies and impose stronger
sanctions on their Eastern neighbor. ‘They need to understand they must stand
up to [Russian President] Vladimir Putin,’ Mrs. Clinton said on CNN in an
interview with Fareed Zakaria. ‘The reluctance has to do with European
dependence on energy from Russia.’” [Washington Wire, Wall Street Journal, 7/27/14]
·
Wall
Street Journal’s Washington Wire: As Secretary Of State, Clinton
Established “A Roughly 100-Person Office That Seeks To Further Diplomacy
Through Energy Security.” “Mrs. Clinton said that while she was Secretary
of State during the first term of the Obama administration, she told European
nations then that they need to diversify their energy supplies. As secretary,
she created in 2011 the department’s Bureau of Energy Resources, a roughly
100-person office that seeks to further diplomacy through energy security.”

Secretary
Clinton On The Malaysian Airplane That Crashed Over Ukraine: If Evidence Links
Russia To The Crash, Europe Must “Put Putin On Notice That He Has Gone Too
Far.” Speaking about the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in Ukraine,
Secretary Clinton said, “If there is evidence linking Russia to this, that
should inspire the Europeans to do much more on three counts. One, toughen
their own sanctions — make it very clear there has to be a price to pay. Number
two, immediately accelerate efforts and announce they are doing so to find
alternatives to Gazprom. Russia has not diversified its economy. It is still
largely dependent upon natural resources, principally gas and oil. And thirdly do more in concert with us to
support the Ukrainians…Put Putin on notice that he has gone too far and we are
not going to stand idly by. So, the Europeans have to be the ones to take the
lead on this. It was a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over European
territory. There should be outrage in European capitals.” [Charlie Rose, PBS,
7/17/14]
CNN: London Mayor Boris Johnson Said That “Hillary
Clinton Is Worried That European Governments Are Being ‘Too Wimpy’ In Dealing
With Russian President Vladimir Putin” And That “She Wanted Us In Britain To
Stick It, To Take It To Putin.” “Hillary Clinton is worried that European
governments are being ‘too wimpy’ in dealing with Russian President Vladimir
Putin, London's mayor Boris Johnson said Friday… ‘Her general anxiety was that Putin, if unchallenged
and unchecked, would continue to expand his influence in the perimeter of what
was the Soviet Union. She spoke of alarm in Estonia and the Baltic states. I
was very, very struck by that.’ ‘I was struck by the firmness with which she
wanted us in Britain to stick it, to take it to Putin,’ he said, once again
underlining he was not using Clinton's exact words but offering a ‘brutal
summary’ of what she said.” [CNN, 2/13/15]
