New York Times: Syria Exposes Split Between Obama and Clinton
WASHINGTON — For four years, they sat together in the Situation Room, the ultimate team of rivals confronting the world’s thorniest problems, mostly on the same page, sometimes decidedly not, but generally presenting a united front to the outside world.
Now, with the administration’s approach to Syria seemingly in tatters, the differences between President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton have opened a fresh wedge between the two, with Mrs. Clinton arguing for a more robust approach and Mr. Obama dismissing her ideas as campaign politics.
The exchange over the last two days brings to the fore a split on policy that has long divided the current president and his putative heir apparent, but it also reinforces the challenge for a Democratic candidate to define her own approach without alienating the incumbent head of her party. A serious debate in the Situation Room now plays itself out on the campaign trail with all the inherent stress points.
WNU Editor: She is promising a more "robust" policy when it comes to conflicts like Syria .... should I believe her? Should you? Hmmmm .... when it comes to all things Hillary, it is best to be very sceptical .... and that in a nutshell is the problem with her run for the Democrat nomination .... she has a very serious trust problem.
