| Hillary Clinton calls Russia and China 'despicable' for opposing UN resolution |
| 2012-02-25 |
| Speaking after a Friends of Syria conference, held in Tunisia, Mrs Clinton said that Russia and China must join international condemnation of President Assad's regime. "It's quite distressing to see two permanent members of the Security Council using their veto while people are being murdered – women, children, brave young men – houses are being destroyed," she said. "It is just despicable and I ask whose side are they on? They are clearly not on the side of the Syrian people." Mrs Clinton went on to predict a military coup inside Syria of the kind that ended the old regimes in Egypt and Tunisia. "We saw this happen in other settings last year, I think it is going to happen in Syria," she told reporters at the end of the meeting. |

| #3 Agitated to find out the basic tenant that "America" is the source of all problems isn't the real world or frustrated that the narrative isn't fitting into the real world, cause it means the evil conservatives back home might be right. |

| #2 Is this that fabled reset button being pushed again? The current state of the US and the world just disgusts me in so many ways. |
