Former President Clinton: 'The Islamic State Is An Interesting NGO'



Washington Times: Bill Clinton: Islamic State ‘most interesting’ NGO today

Former President Bill Clinton said Tuesday that the Islamic State terror group is “arguably the most interesting” non-governmental organization today.

Mr. Clinton made the comments about the group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, during the third of a four-speech lecture series he is giving at Georgetown University.

“Arguably the most interesting non-governmental organization today, which proves the importance of inclusion by its shortcomings, but is formidable, is ISIS,” he said. “ISIS is a terrorist organization, an NGO, trying to become a state. That is, they don’t recognize any of the boundaries of the Middle Eastern countries as legitimate. They were all established, drawn largely by Westerners after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in World War I.

That's the kind of cutes rhetorical trick an academic could get away with, but not the hubby of a presidential candidate.

He is older and had a heart bypass. Maybe the arteries in his brain are getting sclerotic as well.

At least Hillary could use that excuse and go for the sympathy vote at the same time.
