Hillary Clinton goes AWOL on Syria, stays shamefully silent over Assad’s barbaric massacre of civilians...

British Foreign Secretary William Hague responded swiftly to the news that the Syrian regime had massacred close to a hundred people in the city of Hama over the weekend, issuing immediate condemnation from London calling on President Bashar al-Assad to “stop this assault on his own people.” At the White House Barack Obama dropped his customary equivocation on human rights issues in the Middle East and declared he was “appalled” by the actions of Damascus and pledged to push for further measures to isolate the Syrian government. Even the European Union, whose threshold of tolerance for dictatorial regimes is traditionally extremely high, rushed to attack this latest outrage by Syria’s murderous armed forces.

But where was the US Secretary of State, the official voice of American foreign policy, in responding to one of the most sickening acts of barbarism conducted against civilians by any regime in the 21st Century? Hillary Clinton has been a striking no-show on one of the most important days of her time in office. There has been no statement yet from Mrs. Clinton in stark contrast to many other international leaders. Nor has the State Department even posted a statement from any of its officials regarding the Syrian atrocity on its website. More...
