Imperial Hubris: Clinton Demands Russia And China "Pay The Price"

The "very good offer" was one initiated by the U.S.'s main allies in the Arab world, the monarchies of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which whom the U.S. and its NATO allies have also conspired to overthrow the governments of Libya and Syria.

 

In January of this year, while visiting Ivory Coast  - where Gbagbo was deposed last April by French and compliant United Nations military forces and replaced by former Washington, D.C.-based International Monetary Fund official Alassane Ouattara  - she renewed her demand that the Yemeni president must abdicate:

 

"There have been agreements with respect to the way forward that have not been fulfilled. We regret that the president has thus far failed to comply with his own commitments to leave the country, to permit elections to go forward that give the people a chance to be heard and be represented."

 

In October Clinton was shown an image of the battered corpse of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi shortly after he was murdered in his hometown of Sirte and after uttering an adolescent (or preteen) "wow," stated while laughing and puffing herself up, almost squealing with self-satisfied abandon: "We came, we saw, he died."

 

The paraphrase of the statement attributed to Julius Caesar is not fortuitous. What Clinton at the moment embodies to the highest degree is imperial arrogance in its foulest manifestation.
