File under: Govt of Iran

#1 The brevity and lucid clarity of this speech by Hillary is amazing.
After reading it what would you say she said? How much of it is striking and memorable?

Quote one line from memory. OK. what was the first line or the last line, for instance. Do it without notes.

What one should remember about the Middle East is that is primarily Moslem, and it has a lot of Arab Culture and Islamic Values. And the majority of the people who live there hate the Jewwzz.
There is a lack of free speech and there is a lot of kaboom and you have to watch what you step in on the street. And what IS that smell?

Other than that its...well....Moslem. Drink bottled water.

And as to Iran and their " Revolution"? If you want to understand that get on your knees , yell allah and shove your head in a Farsi toilet. It will clear your mind remarkably concerning Islam.

#2 does this mean that Iran is influencing the revolutions in our region? Of course, the answer to this is no, and it would not be fair to the revolutionaries to say this, however Iran is not hesitating to interfere in our region and exploit the prevailing feelings today

Here we have a typical state dep't miasma of a compound oxymoron. Can one please explain how you can "interfere" and "exploit" without "influencing"?

These people should all be shown the bottom of the Marianas trench with some custom Chicago footwear.

#3 Reread the piece. The first paragraph is a summary of Secretary Clinton's statement, the rest comes from the Asharq al-Aswat editor's pen. Dribble apparently thinks as clearly as he writes: a great deal of dramatic emoting but very little actual analysis.
