Clinton: "We are going to say 'he has to go', but we need others to follow!"

"... Clinton: Well, I think we've been very clear in what we have said about his loss of legitamacy. But what we really need to do to put the pressure on Assad is to sanction the oil and gas industry. And we want to see Europe take more steps ... And we wanna see China... We wanna see India... We want to see Russia ...
Pelley: You're not going to say he has to go?
Clinton: We are, I think, building the chorus of international condemnation. And, rather than, you know, us saying it and nobody else following, we think it's important to lead and have others follow as well..."

Reading the statements on this blog of the Israeli ambassador, White House officials, and Hillary Clinton, one wonders in what planet are they living! No wonder the US is in doldrums when wishful thinking has become solid analysis. Let them continue and they will be surprised. The US seems content to become a banana republic with incompetent hacks running its foreign and domestic policies.
