The Dark Side

I can't say that Hillary Clinton has gone over to the dark side; she may have already been there. But some recent comments are not something she'll be proud of when she writes her memoir.
From a June 23 press conference re the upcoming Gaza flotilla:
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, we do not believe that the flotilla is a necessary or useful effort to try to assist the people of Gaza. Just this week, the Israeli Government approved a significant commitment to housing in Gaza. There will be construction materials entering Gaza and we think that it’s not helpful for there to be flotillas that try to provoke actions by entering into Israeli waters and creating a situation in which the Israelis have the right to defend themselves.

Of course, there are some Americans on board. I guess Hillary feels it's okay if they get hurt by the Israelis as did the Americans on last year's flotilla.
