(With a tip of the hat to Matt Margolis at Blogs for Bush.) Hillary Clinton spoke to the Brookings Institution last Thursday in a speech called: ADDRESSING THE NATIONAL SECURITY CHALLENGES OF OUR TIME [pdf link].
Here’s this from an MSNBC piece regarding her speech:
Clinton also saw a likelihood that the new Iraqi government would repress women’s rights which, she said, had been expanded by Saddam Hussein.“I have been deeply troubled by what I hear coming out of Iraq. When I was there and met with women members of the national governing council and local governing councils in Baghdad and Kirkuk they were starting to express concerns about some of the pullbacks in the rights they were given under Saddam Hussein,” she said.
“He was an equal opportunity oppressor, but on paper, women had rights. They went to school, they participated in the professions, they participated in government and in business; as long as they stayed out of his way, they had considerable freedom of movement.”
On paper, Senator, women had no rights under Saddam Hussein. Men had no rights. In a dictatorship such as that in Iraq, all rights derive from and are bestowed upon the despot. Any rights possessed by anyone else were transitory rights at the whim of the dictator, and thus were not actual rights.
The woman is a dizzbot. Someone should go back and give her a retroactive F in 6th Grade Civics. As I do to some public officials from time-to-time, I call on her to resign her Senate seat immediately. She is unfit to serve.
