Why didn't Hillary recommend force to stop the African genocide?

[Bo]

Is she feeling guilty about RWANDA? Looks that way to me.

1. How much oil is there in Rwanda?

2. How do you know what she recommended?

She was First Lady at the time. Was she setting foreign policy?

3. How do you know she didn't?

And was she our Secretary of State back then, or not?

not that i support the current action (I'm kind of mixed on this)...but if you're going to criticize, at least do it reasonably.

4. she had a UN and Arab leauge mandate to back her up?

i must have missed that

5. It has been reported that both she and Bill regretted not intervening

in Rwanda to stop the genocide. So, yes, I'm sure that is playing into her attitudes towards Libya.

HOWEVER, Your question, "why didn't Hillary recommend force to stop the African genocide?" is a strange/somewhat irrelevant one, considering 1. we don't know that she did not; 2. she was First Lady at the time and thus had no real policy authority; 3. Bill Clinton was President; 4. Madeline Albright was SOS.

6. Was she Secretary of State back then?

7. She was busy baking cookies back then, did not work in the government...etc.

Are you happy now?

8. It wasn't her job back then. And technically Libya is in Africa.

9. The Rwanda Genocide occurred in 1994. Hillary was not Secretary of state.

and had not say on the U.S. response to that debacle?

10. She should feel guilty.

That does not in the least diminish the importance of the intervention in Libya.

13. Why in the Hell should she feel guilty?

12. just because you are married to a president doesn't mean you dictate policy
