Senior Clinton
administration national security official Nancy Soderberg provided a shocking admission
while discussing the recent outbreak of democracy in the Middle East with "Daily
Show" host Jon Stewart. |
| Soderberg confessed
that Democrats are rooting for the Bush administration's war against terrorism to fail.
She posited, "As a Democrat, you don't want anything nice to happen to the
Republicans, and you don't want them to have progress." She then quickly added,
"But as an American, you hope good things would happen." After expressing the
concept, she quickly undermined her own caveat, noting, "It's scary for Democrats, I
have to say." |
| Soderberg noted that
the US's remarkable foreign policy success came after it toppled of one of the three axis
of evil despots. She then suggested again that the more success America has in defeating
global terrorism, the worse it is for Democrats. |
| Soderberg finished by
saying, "Well, there's still Iran and North Korea, don't forget. There's still hope
for the rest of us. ...There's always hope that this might not work." |
