Hillary Clinton outburst in Congo: the real reason she lost her temper. [View All]

The media made a big deal about Hillary Clinton's outburst in response to a mis-translated question.

Want to know the real reason for her short temper? The first clue was her appearance; she was exhausted. She was also upset, but it wasn't because of her husband or the mis-translated question.


Here's what most of the US media DID NOT report about her trip, from The Australian,

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, visibly moved by first-hand evidence of the brutality of war in eastern Congo, yesterday delivered an impassioned appeal for action to end rampant sexual violence she called "evil in its basest form".

Mrs Clinton announced a package of $US17 million ($20.6m) in aid to respond to an epidemic of rape and other sexual crimes directed mainly at women and girls by government troops and rebels fighting in the region.

Her offer came after a harrowing meeting with victims of violent gang rapes in a crowded refugee camp on the outskirts of Goma.

"It is almost impossible to describe the level of suffering and despair," a shaken Mrs Clinton said afterwards. She toured the Magunga Camp, a dust-choked warren of tents and tin-lined huts, listening as officials and camp residents described the horrors of gang rapes and a litany of deaths from malnutrition, malaria, tuberculosis and diarrhoea.


Meanwhile, Fox news questions her diplomatic skills? If those shit-heads had bothered to learn about the ordeal she had just undergone and if they had even a smidgen of compassion, they would have kept their mouths shut.

Hillary Clinton is a human being, a woman, who is deeply upset about the sexual violence against women in Congo. That's why she lost her temper. How does anyone stay calm and collected, conducting themselves with "diplomatic skills" after listening to first-hand accounts of slaughter, violent gang-rapes, rampant disease, and what she calls evil in its basest form.

Hillary, here's a hug for you. Thank you for being a powerful advocate of womens' rights. :hug:
