  Re: Branch Book
  Overview:
  There are few surprises in this book. The "surprises" that might exist are buried and took a close reading to pick
  up on—the two main ones are about the terror clause of WJC's crime bill and why he hadn't disclosed
  information about Lewinsky (because he hadn't wanted to become a witness against her). There are a lot of
  things that have been covered in My Life and other publications. Quite honestly the book was pretty boring and
  much more focused on Branch than I had anticipated. While not as "and this day, and the next day" as My Life,
  it does share many of the same elements that would engage only a true Clinton fanatic or historian. The fact that
  there appears to be no index also makes it difficult for anyone looking for a quick hit to get one. Furthermore,
  WJC's words are so interlaced with Branch's recollection through his dictations, that the number of direct WJC
  quotes was far fewer than I had expected.
  HRC was not as much of a player as one might imagine. Her role is largely seen through her interactions with
  Branch when he is recording WJC. Her statements were consistent with the past, with the exception of the
  Gephardt comment, and didn't grab much attention at all.Ell (Others included HRC's devotion to CVC, thought
  that there should not be a special prosecutor and images of her returning from meetings. They were pretty much
  aligned with her interactions with Branch.) Surprisingly, or not surprisingly, many of the problems discussed in
  the book are those, which face the current Administration—Middle East peace, North Korea, China, etc...
  Branch repeatedly injects his feelings on specific subjects and seems to use the book to voice his own opinion
  of the Administration and events of the time. He clearly has topics he prefers over others (for example his
  connection with the events in Haiti result in a lot of discussion about it), but there are some subjects that are
  strikingly sparsely discussed such as Rwanda. Its absence from long discussions was surprising, but it did not
  appear as thought WJC ever-dodged questions about the topic, they just weren't addressed. Much like My Life,
  one theme that repeated itself was WJC's conflict with and disdain for the media, especially long passages
  about NYT and Washington Post. There are a few instances where gives them credit on their reporting, but you
  would be hard-pressed to find them. Additionally, there are numerous mentions of WJC's acute allergies and his
  chronic fatigue, with imagery of him falling asleep in sessions on more than a couple occasions.
  The book has quite a bit on Whitewater, but given the dearth of public documentation there is little that Branch
  could write that hadn't been said. One thing I had not recalled was the D'Amato's subpoena of CVC's friends,
  later quashed, who slept over while HRC's Rose Law Firm records were in the White House. Branch does
  portray a helpful distinction in how WJC looked at Whitewater and other scandals. While WJC attacks
  Whitewater as a political hunt, Branch does have him WJC saying that Filegate needed to be separated from
  Whitewater, because this was a legitimate inquiry. There are some quips that could catch someone's eye, such
  as WJC referring to Paula Jones as "a 'new bimbo' he [WJC] didn't even recognize."
  Branch does not dwell on Lewinsky or the impeachment. With the exception of Bruce, Bennett and Kendall, no
  other lawyers are mentioned. There is one passage that I am looking into, in which WJC says part of the reason
  he didn't mention his relationship with Lewinsky at first was because she was being threatened with jail time if
  she was found to be lying under oath and had he told the truth he could become a witness against her. This is a
  very small passage that could easily be missed, but one that it is important to note as I don't recall hearing this
  before. (This is addressed more fully below.)
  There are a few relationships that track through the book more than others. They include WJC's relationship
  with Gore, which maps in part because it is not a focal point until the end, and his contentious relationship with
  Janet Reno. The one Senator that appears to be most discussed negatively is Moynihan. All three of these issues
  are discussed in turn below. WJC is portrayed as an extremely loving and attentive father and HRC is portrayed
  in a much more human light than other books/articles covering this time period, with ample mention of her
  relationship with CVC and images of affection between her and WJC, both pre- and post-impeachment.
  On foreign relations there is a lot of time spent discussing the Middle East, Northern Ireland, the Balkans,
  China, Russia, Pakistan/India and in the beginning of the book, Haiti. (Note: Much of what is written about
  Haiti is about Branch's own experience there and on the subject.) There is also a fair amount of discussion
  about North Korea, but nothing that has not been discussed in the past few weeks. Bin Laden is discussed in
  what seems to track mention of him in My Life, which seems to have more detail and background than this
  book.
  In certain cases there is more detail here than in My Life, for example on his trip to Pakistan WJC wrote that the
  USSS cancelled one stop because they would be "defenseless" flying in, whereas Brach writes that the streets
  would be lined with "assassins." There are candid looks at WJC's take on certain people and the relationship
  between some, such as Albright and Berger's dislike of Holbrooke, and a more detailed depiction of Yeltsin's
  drinking, such as yelling outside of Blair House for a cab to get pizza.
  One thing to note, is that often times WJC seems to be speaking to Branch intentionally without the recorders
  going, but Branch writes about those interactions and exchanges nonetheless. Such is the case with HRC's
  Gephardt comment.

  Wen Ho Lee and Terror Clause of Crime Bill
  In discussing Wen Ho Lee's release Branch characterizes WJC's lack of knowledge about the strained
  interpretation of the anti-terrorist provisions in the crime bill and arbitrary detentions as a "confession." My Life
  only mentions Lee's accusation in passing and does not again discuss Lee. Below are two passages from
  Branch's book the first giving context and the second about the Terror Clause of the Crime Bill.
  ➢ The year closed on spies and terrorism. The Justice Department, after fierce debate among the security
  agencies, indicted nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee on fifty-nine counts of copying classified material to his
  personal computer. Lee was being handled like a radioactive espionage defendant—no bail, lockdown,
  solitary confinement—even though the long dragnet had produced no evidence that he offered secrets to
  China or anyone else. The president said experts were telling him the worst spies sometimes stored their
  treason for a rainy day. This sounded fishy to me. Clinton shrugged. Nothing would please him more
  than to establish Lee's innocence. [Branch, 577]
  ➢ While Lee was indicted, Branch writes that WJC noted that others "were being held in secret, uncharged
  and untried...He [WJC] was embarrassed not to have sponsored this measure into law without
  foreseeing such arbitrary detentions...Under the terrorist act, any prosecutor should decide within the
  legal limit...whether to bring charges on the testimony of a secret informant or otherwise. To his
  dismay, Clinton had learned of defendants held incommunicado for more than six months. One extreme
  detention had last three years. 'I think it's wrong,' he [WJC] said. 'It's not American. We accept guilty
  people on the street to enjoy and protect our freedom.' [Branch, 629]
  WJC and Lewinsky's Silence
  Branch writes that part of WJC's motive for not discussing what had happened with Lewinsky was that it could
  send her to jail, as she had denied it.
  ➢ "Also, he pointed out that Starr had been threatening to jail Lewinsky all year over her sworn denial of
  the affair. If Clinton had come forward with anything at all about their relationship, he said Starr could
  have turned him into a witness against Lewinsky, betraying her discreet silence. Such subtleties, while
  original, struck me as tendentious. The president never claimed chivalry as the real motive for his
  steadfast denial, nor did he dispute the essential truth of Lewinsky's account." [Branch, 511]
  HRC and Kissinger
  The following could be fodder for people who want to continue to string along the notion of channeling Eleanor
  Roosevelt.
  ➢ There is a passage in which HRC describes an exchange she had with Kissinger at a dinner where he
  complained that if the health care bill passed he wouldn't be able to see his own doctor. She continued to
  say "it was interesting, in fact, that she had dreamed about Kissinger only a few nights before. His
  visage turned suddenly effervescent at a banquet, announcing gladly that his worries were over because
  the Clinton health care bill was dying. 'Oh, no, Dr. Kissinger,' she replied coolly. 'Don't be sure that it's
  dead. We'll keep fighting, and there's always light at the end of the tunnel.' She said Kissing blanched,
  speechless at her deft reminder of the Vietnam War...Now at last, in Hillary's dream, it registered that
  his strategic designs had spewed carnage and venom for seven needless years...'That's what I dreamed,'
  Hillary repeated, lost in thought. 'You know, I always get my revenge in dreams, but never in real life.'
  [Branch, 179]
  HRC and gay/lesbian
  Writing about a call with HRC from NYS, Branch recalls how WJC's counsel got very "exercised." WJC left
  the room. "He was subdued on his return. 'You know, I've had a lot more contact with gay people in my life
  than Hillary.' He sighed. Her temperament had a conservative, religious core, formed before homosexual issues
  were even mentionable. New York politics was a tough crucible, and she was unsure what heat she could take.
  On the other hand, personal experience could speed adaptation." [Branch, 551]
  Tension with Moynihan
  There are several occasions throughout the book that Branch recalls WJC's grievances and frustration with
  Moynihan. For example:
  > When Moynihan called for the international arms embargo to be unilaterally lifted so that Bosnia could
  fight for themselves, Branch writes, "The president flinched when I mentioned [it]...'That's just a
  freebie for him,' snapped Clinton, 'and he knows it.'" [p.140]
  > In regard to health care: "Echoing comments by Hillary at dinner, he [WJC] faulted Senator Moynihan
  for aimless hearings conducted without a strategy or theme." [p.170]
  ➢ Discussing Independent Counsel: "She [HRC] was especially scornful of the Democrats, and quoted a
  number of them. Senator Moynihan, for instance, publicly said the Clintons were nice people and he was
  sure they had nothing to hide. 'Why not have an investigation?' he often asked. She said Moynihan
  skated blithely on the surface, never produced results in Congress, and could not withstand such scrutiny
  himself for five minutes, living in an apartment secured through his chairmanship of the Pennsylvania
  Avenue Development Corporation." [Brach, 182]
  ➢ "Donnybrook" argument in which Moynihan said of a fundraising speech WJC gave citing a regretted
  hypothetical about a controversial decision. Moynihan told the press, "He doesn't understand...that he's
  conceding the principles." WJC confronted him about lack of context given to the statement to the press
  and said that Moynihan knew what he was doing by "feeding the beast of hostile presumption about
  Clinton's motives." [Branch, 299]
  HRC as World Player
  There are several images as HRC as a player on the world stage, both with WJC and on her own. Several
  examples follow:
  ➢ Middle East: Discussing peace with King Hussein: "They had retreated for lunch as two couples—the
  Clintons, with the king and his wife, Queen Noor—in the family dining room... Their agenda was a
  delicate race between Hussein's failing health and his desire to make peace with Israel. The president
  said he and Hillary pounded away on symptoms of national estrangement: closed boarders, water
  disputes, travel barriers, war grievances, contested airspace, sealed electrical grids, and so on. Hussein
  gave them a feast of goodwill without commitment on any point." [Branch, 170]
  > South Asia: Regarding her trip to South Asia with CVC in 1995, "Her [HRC's] schedule was far more
  demanding than ceremonial, pushing both conflict resolution and civic empowerment for downtrodden
  women." [Branch, 236] Later Branch tells of Benazir Bhutto praising CVC and HRC. "By contrast with
  a superficial American press, which portrayed Hillary as a demure tourist of no policy significance in
  exotic Asia, Bhutto said she had touched essential political chords with whirlwind encouragements for
  citizenship groups and small-scale economic development." (The note contrasting Bhutto corresponds to
  a NYT article which Branch quotes in the footer saying, "she [HRC] played the traditional role of First
  Lady as wife and mother...") [Branch, 246]
  > China Speech: Branch outlines how HRC felt the speech needed to be bigger than China and how she
  depicted the "harsh reality everywhere" from China to Africa. He then cites WJC commenting on the
  rave reviews of HRC's speech. [Branch, 289]
  ➢ Regarding the Russian financial system meltdown, Branch writes "Yeltsin seemed so removed from
  urgent political tasks that both Clintons counseled him directly." [Branch, 512-513]
  Jesse Jackson
  Branch writes about Jesse Jackson calling CVC after the Lewinsky story broke and having continued contact
  with her throughout the period. WJC thanks him for his support of CVC. This goes into some detail about WJCs
  gratitude, but the fact that Jackson "counseled" CVC has been public knowledge dating back to at least 1999.
  ➢ "But now Jesse had done something he would not forget. When the Lewinsky news broke, he called
  Chelsea at Stanford. Jesse was the only nonfamily adult with her cell phone number. How he got it was
  another story. Jesse said he knew this was terrible for her. Nothing like it had ever happened in
  American politics. He did not know everything involved, but he wanted to remind Chelsea how much
  her parents loved her. Their family needed to stick together now above all, and if she needed to counsel,
  rage, or pray, he was always available." [Branch, 497]
  Tension with Janet Reno
  Throughout the book, from his nomination of her, WJC is portrayed as having no opinion to having a negative
  opinion of Janet Reno.
  > "He complained about Janet Reno—made it clear, in fact, that he felt alienated from his own attorney
  general. If he removed her, however, the pending decision on yet another special prosecutor [for 1996
  campaign finance] would fall to Reno's deputy, Jamie Gorelick, who, Clinton feared, may share Reno's
  wholesale devotion to outside control for any case in which the president himself may become a
  target...If he removed both Reno and Gorelick, to start fresh, it would touch off a firestorm of protest
  like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre of the Justice Department officials during the Watergate scandal.
  That was not an option." [Branch, 388-389]
  > Branch writes about WJC talking about Reno and Louis Freeh disregarding a letter from D'Amato and
  continuing to allow independent counsel to go after Ciseneros. The same held true for Mike Espy.
  Branch then outlines a meeting between WJC and Reno. Reno had made public statements about her
  "desire to stay on the job. 'I told her I didn't like that one damn bit,' the president said tersely. 'I didn't
  hire her to work for the New York Times and Washington Post. I hired her to work for me.'" [Branch,
  398] He continues to outline that Clinton did give Reno credit for some good achievements including
  coordination with U.S. attorneys and that he didn't blame her for the special prosecutor on Whitewater,
  but that "he did blame her for abdicating responsibility to supervise the investigations ever since, letting
  mandates multiply almost at will. She accepted criteria that were ludicrous and crassly partisan. Reno
  had failed to defend the presidency itself—not Clinton personally, but the institution—and by extension
  the entire executive branch...He told me she had no clue what he meant. His advisers considered her
  more naïve than upright, and the fuzziness of the distinction seemed to save her." [Branch, 399] He cites
  that Clinton warned her that she should prepare herself for not staying in the job for the entire second
  term.
  Portrayal of Jimmy Carter
  There are parallels that could be drawn between WJC/BHO and Carter/WJC both in terms of Carter's trip to
  North Korea and the mission he went on to Haiti. WJC clearly was frustrated by Carter's seeming desire to be
  on the front lines.
  North Korea:
  ➢ "On North Korea, he [WJC] said Jimmy Carter had initiated his own recent trip with a call to Al Gore,
  and Clinton had approved the volunteer mission to break through North Korea's extreme
  isolation... Sure enough, Carter did reach North Korean dictator Kim Il-sung, who proposed to allow
  inspection of North Korea's nuclear facilities in exchange for relief from the harsh economic sanctions.
  The only hitch was that Carter announced the terms on CNN before they became official, adding
  gratuitously that he never had agreed with sanctions in the first place. News stories had the White House
  seething, but Clinton made light of the spat. He said the deal was since ratified by an exchange of letters,
  and he did not believe Carter would criticize official policy 'if the game were still in doubt.' [Branch,
  162]
  Haiti:
  ➢ After pushing to be sent to Haiti and enlisting Colin Powell and Sam Nunn to get WJC to break with
  Gore (who said Carter shouldn't be trusted a second time) and Christopher and approve the mission to
  Haiti to seek a truce with the junta, Carter is portrayed as acting stubbornly and having 'clientitis'
  (arguing for acceptance of Haitian generals versus what was in the United States' best interest). He
  didn't want to leave and WJC told him he had to. Like after North Korea, Carter again, Carter went to
  the press first. "The three negotiators flew back to Washington late Sunday, and Carter, invited to stay
  over at the White House, called CNN's Judy Woodruff after midnight to arrange an interview the next
  morning before he reported to Clinton on his mission. This conduct, the president said tersely, was not
  right...The press was full of retrospective stories about friction between him and his three prominent
  negotiators...He said the current newsweeklies lapped up criticism by Carter as an embarrassment to
  Clinton...Many of his advisers griped that Jimmy Carter thought he was still president, but Clinton
  found this criticism too jaundiced. Carter had spoken with restraint at their joint press conference, he
  allowed, exhibiting a keen political ear...To Clinton, Carter simply felt that he had earned the right to
  speak his mind as an international statesman, even about a mission he had accepted for the United States
  government complete with an Air Force jet. This sense of entitlement could make Carter a thorn, but
  Clinton thought his value far outweighed the political annoyance. He considered Carter a sterling ex-
  resident." [Branch, 200-201]
  Dispatch of Bombers Near Iraq
  ➢ "He expected military strikes to win bipartisan assent, including former presidents Ford, Reagan and
  Bush. 'Dole will support me,' he said. 'Carter will probably criticize me. Carter always criticizes, but he
  doesn't have much positive to say." [Branch, 518]
  Gore
  For the majority of the book, there is little discussion of WJC and Gore's relationship. There are few places
  where he is briefly mentioned and a couple of scenes with some levity. The end, however, describes the
  seemingly brutally candid conversation between the two about the 2000 election and the impeachment.
  ➢ On page 92 Branch writes, "No, he [Clinton] did not ask Gore to take over a failed foreign policy, as
  alleged, but to improve public presentations by his troika of 'bad talkers': shy National Security Adviser
  Tony Lake, boring Secretary of State Warren Christopher, and disorganized Defense Secretary Les
  Aspin." [Branch, 92]
  ➢ In one-passage WJC talks about asking Gore to lead the independent review of Hazel O'Leary and also
  having Gore substitute for him at an economic conference in Japan. The latter did not fare well as other
  nations were offended that Gore, not WJC attended. Gore insisted that WJC needed to go to Japan to
  redeem himself and the administration for his absence. Gore pointed to a few days in January, but WJC
  "pronounced them vital to Chelsea's schoolwork. Gore blinked. So what?...Mutual exasperation spiked.
  `Al,' Clinton told him, 'I am not going to Japan and leave Chelsea by herself to take these exams.' Gore
  erupted. He thought Clinton had lost his bearing. They had a big fight, said the president, and were still
  wrangling about dates for Japan." Branch states that this fight wound up being around the time WJC saw
  Lewinsky. [Branch, 316-317]
  ➢ On page 396-397 there is a scene, which shows Gore's sense of humor and Gore, WJC, et al working as
  a team to secure the Cabinet for the second term.
  ➢ Later there is a passage about an exchange between WJC and HRC about Gore trying to hire a second
  criminal lawyer. HRC already knew he was paying the first one $30,000 per month. The conversation is
  about a leak of an offer from Jim Neal of TN, the former Watergate prosecutor to defend Gore for free.
  The exchange is more on ethics of the offer and its leak to the press than about Gore.
  ➢ On Gore's announcing his campaign. "The president had called twice to congratulate Gore for his
  kickoff events—once from Geneva, hours later from Paris. Clinton thought the only glitches were
  technical... But Gore got all the big things right. His twofold message was perfect: distinguish himself
  from Clinton's personal flaws, and tell voters exactly what he would do for them in the White House.
  The president said it was fine for Gore to call Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky 'inexcusable.'
  First, it was true. Second, it showed a necessary strength to criticized the boss. Third, Gore would be
  badgered to death until he did. 'Al,' Clinton told him, 'if you thought it would help in the campaign, I
  would let you flog me at noon right on the doorstep of the Washington Post.'" [Branch, 553-554]
  Branch continues that WJC told Gore to ignore reporting that he was offended or critical of his
  campaign. "On tape, the president said he confided his chief strategic worry only to Gore himself and to
  Gore's pollster, Mark Penn. The vice president must project his platform—where he stood, precisely
  how and where he would lead the country—because the Republicans would try to knock him off
  substance." [Branch, 554]
  ➢ WJC offered critiques of Gore's campaign throughout, but it was always framed as his fear of Gore not
  succeeding him. For example, "Clinton still thought Gore could win. Most people considered him smart,
  experience, and motivated. He examined the pitfalls for Gore in a campaign showcasing presidential
  character over detailed agendas for the country. Reporters called Gore "stiff," but Clinton discounted
  this liability. He thought Gore's droll sense of humor would wear well over time. Gore also was
  perceived to be too conventional a Democrat, therefore lacking independence, which called for Gore to
  emphasize more his own passion and initiatives. Then the president said Gore could have a brooding
  quality about him, not worrisome or off-putting in itself, but potentially damaging if his serious nature
  failed to give voters a lifted. Clinton isolated the word "sunny." Gore needed more of it." [Branch, 599]
  ➢ He also complimented Gore's knowledge of government workings. "Gore knew Washington. Believe
  me, said the president, his administration would have made many more errors in the first two years had
  it not been for the vice president." He then goes on to say that WJC suggested Gore find someone who
  would be a bright spot to run with, perhaps Durbin or Bradley or Kerrey, although he also goes into
  great detail about the virtues of Mikulski, even though she would never get chosen. How much of this
  was WJC's emphasis versus Branch's focus on his home state senator is unclear. [Branch, 599, 618-19]
  ➢ WJC criticized Gore for not running on the successes of the administration. "They should be running
  essentially for a third term, said the president, but they were afraid the Clinton-Gore record would
  tarnish them with Clinton's character." [Branch, 623] Branch gives WJC's critique of Gore in debate
  that had been heard before—that Gore lacked style and a light touch.
  ➢ Branch has WJC recalling a conversation between WJC and Gore where "Gore had bared himself in one
  of their stressful consultations by insisting that he, Gore, was a good politician, elaborating that he
  meant good on the policy, and also good on the politics, but admitted that he did not instinctively blend
  the two. Gore said he had to think about it, and Clinton thought this was pretty close to the bone...He
  had the stuff to be a great president, and this was the message that Clinton must convey somehow
  without seeming to brag on his own record." [Branch, 623-624]
  ➢ The big passage about Gore begins on page 641 and extends to 645. Branch notes that WJC was unsure
  at first about recording the details. At the outset it says, "For his own part, Gore was not angry, nor did
  he blame Clinton for his defeat, but he wanted to acknowledge forthrightly that some people around him
  did." [Branch, 642] It has WJC acknowledging that Gore's use of him was proper—he was best in the
  White House. Then he says, "'I think you made a mistake not to use me more in the last ten days,'"
  Clinton told Gore, 'but otherwise that was not a big deal. I was much more upset about your message,
  now that we're being honest.'" [Branch, 642] Branch recalls WJC saying Gore fought bag saying that
  "Clinton's drag plagued every direction." Clinton then said that Gore was better at governance than
  Clinton, and Gore would be better for the nation than Bush, and that he was an "unparalleled" vice
  president, but that he had "blind spots." Branch writes that WJC kept saying their confrontation was
  "surreal."
  o Gore had a "fresh grievance...he wanted Clinton to know that the Buddhist temple fund-raising
  scandal had been the worst experience of his life. No one had ever questioned his personal
  integrity, but corrosive publicity and whispers had tormented him now for four years. Gore said
  he had not been disposed to blame Clinton. However, he remembered telling the president that
  he found himself the only English-speaking person at one of those Asian fund-raisers. And the
  president was in charge of the party apparatus that was supposed to screen all the donations for
  trouble. So he did blame Clinton in a way. The president told me he could scarcely believe the
  ensuing tales of suspicion. Gore must still be in shock from the election, or unhinged. 'I thought
  he was in Neverland,' he said." [Branch, 643-644]
  o Branch continues: "The vice president asked Clinton about Monica Lewinsky. He had supported
  Clinton all through the impeachment, publicly and privately, while declaring himself
  disappointed. Yes, said the president. He appreciated that. However, persisted Gore, Clinton did
  not confide any personal feelings. He never explained exactly what happened. There was little to
  say, Clinton replied, beyond failure and regret. He was humiliated and angry, had made mistake.
  He had misled the American people, and he was sorry. Gore closed his point with emphasis.
  Well, he said, this is the first time you have apologized to me personally. Clinton did a double
  take...Gore treated the confession as a watershed. Their colliding perspectives made both of
  them angry. Clinton exploded that Gore's reaction was phony. What was so significant
  here?...Gore exploded back. He was feeling a stubborn repeat of the defensiveness and delayed
  honesty that somehow cost the election. Clinton's character was at the root of it..." [Branch,
  644-45]
  Other
  ➢ Maggie as Person Recommending Panetta: Unlike in My Life, in Branch's book, it has WJC asking
  Maggie to compile confidential suggestions for McLarty's replacement. "Williams was shrewd, discreet,
  and efficient." [Branch, 161]
  > HRC and Haiti Invasion: Branch asked WJC what HRC thought about his foreign policy team's
  suggestion to invade Haiti. "He said the pell-mell rush to invade was crazy to her. Reacting against the
  pressure, the lack of options, and his sense of being trapped, she said he was badly served by his foreign
  policy staff. He said she observed with some suspicion that the chief sponsors of the invasion—Lake,
  Berger, and Talbott—were the same people who had pushed the ill-fated appointment of Bobby Ray
  Inman as defense secretary." [Branch, 189]
  > ITAV: ITAV co-author flap in which Sally Quinn spread rumors that HRC had not written the book.
  Quinn said that HRC had denied credit to the book's collaborator, Barbara Feinman, a friend of Quinn.
  HRC said Feinman had withdrawn from the project. Branch notes that the White House had draft
  chapters in HRC's handwriting. (Branch turned this to be about him and how it affected him as a
  ghostwriter.) From this HRC said that Quinn and her friends launched a rumor that HRC and a female
  veterinarian of Socks' were "discovered...in flagrante on a bedroom floor in the White House." [Branch,
  342-343]
  > Subpoenas of CVC's Friends: Branch tells of how D'Amato, as Chair of the Banking Committee, had
  subpoenaed all those who might have been in the White House when HRC's Rose firm records were
  there. This included "some two dozen of Chelsea's sleepovers." Senator Sarbanes quashed the
  subpoenas for the sleepovers. [Branch, 362]
  ➢ Vernon Jordan Extramarital Sex: In the context of Lewinsky, Branch says of Vernon Jordan, "In our
  glancing associations, I had picked up from Vernon an attitude toward extramarital sex best described as
  lighthearted or recreational." [Branch, 495]
  > Gore/HRC ticket: "By the numbers, and Clinton's gut, a Gore-Hillary ticket would give Democrats their
  best chance to defeat Bush for the White House. 'Hands down,' he [WJC] said, tut I don't think Al
  would ever do it.'" [Branch, 540]
  > WJC suggesting Rubin run for NY Senate seat: The passage comes after WJC talks about supporting
  HRC if she decided to run, which raises a question of whether he had preferred Rubin or whether the
  two events are unconnected. "When the president had urged him [Rubin] to run for and easily win the
  New York Senate seat, Rubin recoiled...He could not fathom why Hillary wanted to run now..."
  [Branch, 557]
  ➢ On trip to South Asia: Branch says that WJC agreed to cancel a stop in Bangladesh, because "of hard
  intelligence that Osama bin Laden had lined the route with assassins." [Branch, 594] My Life discusses
  the cancelled trip but does not specify it was because of bin Laden or assassins.
  DI 'Gephardt is an asshole," Hillary commented. The president, pointing to my recorders, advised gently that the tapes were on. She
  winced but shrugged with a smile. "Well, he is," she insisted. In an awkward silence, I backed up both machines to erase the first
  lady's epithet." [Branch, 263]

  Re: Branch Book
  Overview:
  There are few surprises in this book. The "surprises" that might exist are buried and took a close reading to pick
  up on—the two main ones are about the terror clause of WJC's crime bill and why he hadn't disclosed
  information about Lewinsky (because he hadn't wanted to become a witness against her). There are a lot of
  things that have been covered in My Life and other publications. Quite honestly the book was pretty boring and
  much more focused on Branch than I had anticipated. While not as "and this day, and the next day" as My Life,
  it does share many of the same elements that would engage only a true Clinton fanatic or historian. The fact that
  there appears to be no index also makes it difficult for anyone looking for a quick hit to get one. Furthermore,
  WJC's words are so interlaced with Branch's recollection through his dictations, that the number of direct WJC
  quotes was far fewer than I had expected.
  HRC was not as much of a player as one might imagine. Her role is largely seen through her interactions with
  Branch when he is recording WJC. Her statements were consistent with the past, with the exception of the
  Gephardt comment, and didn't grab much attention at all.Ell (Others included HRC's devotion to CVC, thought
  that there should not be a special prosecutor and images of her returning from meetings. They were pretty much
  aligned with her interactions with Branch.) Surprisingly, or not surprisingly, many of the problems discussed in
  the book are those, which face the current Administration—Middle East peace, North Korea, China, etc...
  Branch repeatedly injects his feelings on specific subjects and seems to use the book to voice his own opinion
  of the Administration and events of the time. He clearly has topics he prefers over others (for example his
  connection with the events in Haiti result in a lot of discussion about it), but there are some subjects that are
  strikingly sparsely discussed such as Rwanda. Its absence from long discussions was surprising, but it did not
  appear as thought WJC ever-dodged questions about the topic, they just weren't addressed. Much like My Life,
  one theme that repeated itself was WJC's conflict with and disdain for the media, especially long passages
  about NYT and Washington Post. There are a few instances where gives them credit on their reporting, but you
  would be hard-pressed to find them. Additionally, there are numerous mentions of WJC's acute allergies and his
  chronic fatigue, with imagery of him falling asleep in sessions on more than a couple occasions.
  The book has quite a bit on Whitewater, but given the dearth of public documentation there is little that Branch
  could write that hadn't been said. One thing I had not recalled was the D'Amato's subpoena of CVC's friends,
  later quashed, who slept over while HRC's Rose Law Firm records were in the White House. Branch does
  portray a helpful distinction in how WJC looked at Whitewater and other scandals. While WJC attacks
  Whitewater as a political hunt, Branch does have him WJC saying that Filegate needed to be separated from
  Whitewater, because this was a legitimate inquiry. There are some quips that could catch someone's eye, such
  as WJC referring to Paula Jones as "a 'new bimbo' he [WJC] didn't even recognize."

  Branch does not dwell on Lewinsky or the impeachment. With the exception of Bruce, Bennett and Kendall, no
  other lawyers are mentioned. There is one passage that I am looking into, in which WJC says part of the reason
  he didn't mention his relationship with Lewinsky at first was because she was being threatened with jail time if
  she was found to be lying under oath and had he told the truth he could become a witness against her. This is a
  very small passage that could easily be missed, but one that it is important to note as I don't recall hearing this
  before. (This is addressed more fully below.)
  There are a few relationships that track through the book more than others. They include WJC's relationship
  with Gore, which maps in part because it is not a focal point until the end, and his contentious relationship with
  Janet Reno. The one Senator that appears to be most discussed negatively is Moynihan. All three of these issues
  are discussed in turn below. WJC is portrayed as an extremely loving and attentive father and HRC is portrayed
  in a much more human light than other books/articles covering this time period, with ample mention of her
  relationship with CVC and images of affection between her and WJC, both pre- and post-impeachment.
  On foreign relations there is a lot of time spent discussing the Middle East, Northern Ireland, the Balkans,
  China, Russia, Pakistan/India and in the beginning of the book, Haiti. (Note: Much of what is written about
  Haiti is about Branch's own experience there and on the subject.) There is also a fair amount of discussion
  about North Korea, but nothing that has not been discussed in the past few weeks. Bin Laden is discussed in
  what seems to track mention of him in My Life, which seems to have more detail and background than this
  book.
  In certain cases there is more detail here than in My Life, for example on his trip to Pakistan WJC wrote that the
  USSS cancelled one stop because they would be "defenseless" flying in, whereas Brach writes that the streets
  would be lined with "assassins." There are candid looks at WJC's take on certain people and the relationship
  between some, such as Albright and Berger's dislike of Holbrooke, and a more detailed depiction of Yeltsin's
  drinking, such as yelling outside of Blair House for a cab to get pizza.
  One thing to note, is that often times WJC seems to be speaking to Branch intentionally without the recorders
  going, but Branch writes about those interactions and exchanges nonetheless. Such is the case with HRC's
  Gephardt comment.

  Wen Ho Lee and Terror Clause of Crime Bill
  In discussing Wen Ho Lee's release Branch characterizes WJC's lack of knowledge about the strained
  interpretation of the anti-terrorist provisions in the crime bill and arbitrary detentions as a "confession." My Life
  only mentions Lee's accusation in passing and does not again discuss Lee. Below are two passages from
  Branch's book the first giving context and the second about the Terror Clause of the Crime Bill.
  ➢ The year closed on spies and terrorism. The Justice Department, after fierce debate among the security
  agencies, indicted nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee on fifty-nine counts of copying classified material to his
  personal computer. Lee was being handled like a radioactive espionage defendant—no bail, lockdown,
  solitary confinement—even though the long dragnet had produced no evidence that he offered secrets to
  China or anyone else. The president said experts were telling him the worst spies sometimes stored their
  treason for a rainy day. This sounded fishy to me. Clinton shrugged. Nothing would please him more
  than to establish Lee's innocence. [Branch, 577]
  ➢ While Lee was indicted, Branch writes that WJC noted that others "were being held in secret, uncharged
  and untried...He [WJC] was embarrassed not to have sponsored this measure into law without
  foreseeing such arbitrary detentions...Under the terrorist act, any prosecutor should decide within the
  legal limit...whether to bring charges on the testimony of a secret informant or otherwise. To his
  dismay, Clinton had learned of defendants held incommunicado for more than six months. One extreme
  detention had last three years. 'I think it's wrong,' he [WJC] said. 'It's not American. We accept guilty
  people on the street to enjoy and protect our freedom.' [Branch, 629]
  WJC and Lewinsky's Silence
  Branch writes that part of WJC's motive for not discussing what had happened with Lewinsky was that it could
  send her to jail, as she had denied it.
  ➢ "Also, he pointed out that Starr had been threatening to jail Lewinsky all year over her sworn denial of
  the affair. If Clinton had come forward with anything at all about their relationship, he said Starr could
  have turned him into a witness against Lewinsky, betraying her discreet silence. Such subtleties, while
  original, struck me as tendentious. The president never claimed chivalry as the real motive for his
  steadfast denial, nor did he dispute the essential truth of Lewinsky's account." [Branch, 511]
  HRC and Kissinger
  The following could be fodder for people who want to continue to string along the notion of channeling Eleanor
  Roosevelt.
  ➢ There is a passage in which HRC describes an exchange she had with Kissinger at a dinner where he
  complained that if the health care bill passed he wouldn't be able to see his own doctor. She continued to
  say "it was interesting, in fact, that she had dreamed about Kissinger only a few nights before. His
  visage turned suddenly effervescent at a banquet, announcing gladly that his worries were over because
  the Clinton health care bill was dying. 'Oh, no, Dr. Kissinger,' she replied coolly. 'Don't be sure that it's
  dead. We'll keep fighting, and there's always light at the end of the tunnel.' She said Kissing blanched,
  speechless at her deft reminder of the Vietnam War...Now at last, in Hillary's dream, it registered that
  his strategic designs had spewed carnage and venom for seven needless years...'That's what I dreamed,'
  Hillary repeated, lost in thought. 'You know, I always get my revenge in dreams, but never in real life.'
  [Branch, 179]
  HRC and gay/lesbian

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015
  Writing about a call with HRC from NYS, Branch recalls how WJC's counsel got very "exercised." WJC left
  the room. "He was subdued on his return. 'You know, I've had a lot more contact with gay people in my life
  than Hillary.' He sighed. Her temperament had a conservative, religious core, formed before homosexual issues
  were even mentionable. New York politics was a tough crucible, and she was unsure what heat she could take.
  On the other hand, personal experience could speed adaptation." [Branch, 551]
  Tension with Moynihan
  There are several occasions throughout the book that Branch recalls WJC's grievances and frustration with
  Moynihan. For example:
  > When Moynihan called for the international arms embargo to be unilaterally lifted so that Bosnia could
  fight for themselves, Branch writes, "The president flinched when I mentioned [it]...'That's just a
  freebie for him,' snapped Clinton, 'and he knows it.'" [p.140]
  > In regard to health care: "Echoing comments by Hillary at dinner, he [WJC] faulted Senator Moynihan
  for aimless hearings conducted without a strategy or theme." [p.170]
  ➢ Discussing Independent Counsel: "She [HRC] was especially scornful of the Democrats, and quoted a
  number of them. Senator Moynihan, for instance, publicly said the Clintons were nice people and he was
  sure they had nothing to hide. 'Why not have an investigation?' he often asked. She said Moynihan
  skated blithely on the surface, never produced results in Congress, and could not withstand such scrutiny
  himself for five minutes, living in an apartment secured through his chairmanship of the Pennsylvania
  Avenue Development Corporation." [Brach, 182]
  ➢ "Donnybrook" argument in which Moynihan said of a fundraising speech WJC gave citing a regretted
  hypothetical about a controversial decision. Moynihan told the press, "He doesn't understand...that he's
  conceding the principles." WJC confronted him about lack of context given to the statement to the press
  and said that Moynihan knew what he was doing by "feeding the beast of hostile presumption about
  Clinton's motives." [Branch, 299]
  HRC as World Player
  There are several images as HRC as a player on the world stage, both with WJC and on her own. Several
  examples follow:
  ➢ Middle East: Discussing peace with King Hussein: "They had retreated for lunch as two couples—the
  Clintons, with the king and his wife, Queen Noor—in the family dining room... Their agenda was a
  delicate race between Hussein's failing health and his desire to make peace with Israel. The president
  said he and Hillary pounded away on symptoms of national estrangement: closed boarders, water
  disputes, travel barriers, war grievances, contested airspace, sealed electrical grids, and so on. Hussein
  gave them a feast of goodwill without commitment on any point." [Branch, 170]
  > South Asia: Regarding her trip to South Asia with CVC in 1995, "Her [HRC's] schedule was far more
  demanding than ceremonial, pushing both conflict resolution and civic empowerment for downtrodden
  women." [Branch, 236] Later Branch tells of Benazir Bhutto praising CVC and HRC. "By contrast with
  a superficial American press, which portrayed Hillary as a demure tourist of no policy significance in
  exotic Asia, Bhutto said she had touched essential political chords with whirlwind encouragements for
  citizenship groups and small-scale economic development." (The note contrasting Bhutto corresponds to
  a NYT article which Branch quotes in the footer saying, "she [HRC] played the traditional role of First
  Lady as wife and mother...") [Branch, 246]

  > China Speech: Branch outlines how HRC felt the speech needed to be bigger than China and how she
  depicted the "harsh reality everywhere" from China to Africa. He then cites WJC commenting on the
  rave reviews of HRC's speech. [Branch, 289]
  ➢ Regarding the Russian financial system meltdown, Branch writes "Yeltsin seemed so removed from
  urgent political tasks that both Clintons counseled him directly." [Branch, 512-513]
  Jesse Jackson
  Branch writes about Jesse Jackson calling CVC after the Lewinsky story broke and having continued contact
  with her throughout the period. WJC thanks him for his support of CVC. This goes into some detail about WJCs
  gratitude, but the fact that Jackson "counseled" CVC has been public knowledge dating back to at least 1999.
  ➢ "But now Jesse had done something he would not forget. When the Lewinsky news broke, he called
  Chelsea at Stanford. Jesse was the only nonfamily adult with her cell phone number. How he got it was
  another story. Jesse said he knew this was terrible for her. Nothing like it had ever happened in
  American politics. He did not know everything involved, but he wanted to remind Chelsea how much
  her parents loved her. Their family needed to stick together now above all, and if she needed to counsel,
  rage, or pray, he was always available." [Branch, 497]
  Tension with Janet Reno
  Throughout the book, from his nomination of her, WJC is portrayed as having no opinion to having a negative
  opinion of Janet Reno.
  > "He complained about Janet Reno—made it clear, in fact, that he felt alienated from his own attorney
  general. If he removed her, however, the pending decision on yet another special prosecutor [for 1996
  campaign finance] would fall to Reno's deputy, Jamie Gorelick, who, Clinton feared, may share Reno's
  wholesale devotion to outside control for any case in which the president himself may become a
  target...If he removed both Reno and Gorelick, to start fresh, it would touch off a firestorm of protest
  like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre of the Justice Department officials during the Watergate scandal.
  That was not an option." [Branch, 388-389]
  > Branch writes about WJC talking about Reno and Louis Freeh disregarding a letter from D'Amato and
  continuing to allow independent counsel to go after Ciseneros. The same held true for Mike Espy.
  Branch then outlines a meeting between WJC and Reno. Reno had made public statements about her
  "desire to stay on the job. 'I told her I didn't like that one damn bit,' the president said tersely. 'I didn't
  hire her to work for the New York Times and Washington Post. I hired her to work for me.'" [Branch,
  398] He continues to outline that Clinton did give Reno credit for some good achievements including
  coordination with U.S. attorneys and that he didn't blame her for the special prosecutor on Whitewater,
  but that "he did blame her for abdicating responsibility to supervise the investigations ever since, letting
  mandates multiply almost at will. She accepted criteria that were ludicrous and crassly partisan. Reno
  had failed to defend the presidency itself—not Clinton personally, but the institution—and by extension
  the entire executive branch...He told me she had no clue what he meant. His advisers considered her
  more naïve than upright, and the fuzziness of the distinction seemed to save her." [Branch, 399] He cites
  that Clinton warned her that she should prepare herself for not staying in the job for the entire second
  term.
  Portrayal of Jimmy Carter

  There are parallels that could be drawn between WJC/BHO and Carter/WJC both in terms of Carter's trip to
  North Korea and the mission he went on to Haiti. WJC clearly was frustrated by Carter's seeming desire to be
  on the front lines.
  North Korea:
  ➢ "On North Korea, he [WJC] said Jimmy Carter had initiated his own recent trip with a call to Al Gore,
  and Clinton had approved the volunteer mission to break through North Korea's extreme
  isolation... Sure enough, Carter did reach North Korean dictator Kim Il-sung, who proposed to allow
  inspection of North Korea's nuclear facilities in exchange for relief from the harsh economic sanctions.
  The only hitch was that Carter announced the terms on CNN before they became official, adding
  gratuitously that he never had agreed with sanctions in the first place. News stories had the White House
  seething, but Clinton made light of the spat. He said the deal was since ratified by an exchange of letters,
  and he did not believe Carter would criticize official policy 'if the game were still in doubt.' [Branch,
  162]
  Haiti:
  ➢ After pushing to be sent to Haiti and enlisting Colin Powell and Sam Nunn to get WJC to break with
  Gore (who said Carter shouldn't be trusted a second time) and Christopher and approve the mission to
  Haiti to seek a truce with the junta, Carter is portrayed as acting stubbornly and having 'clientitis'
  (arguing for acceptance of Haitian generals versus what was in the United States' best interest). He
  didn't want to leave and WJC told him he had to. Like after North Korea, Carter again, Carter went to
  the press first. "The three negotiators flew back to Washington late Sunday, and Carter, invited to stay
  over at the White House, called CNN's Judy Woodruff after midnight to arrange an interview the next
  morning before he reported to Clinton on his mission. This conduct, the president said tersely, was not
  right...The press was full of retrospective stories about friction between him and his three prominent
  negotiators...He said the current newsweeklies lapped up criticism by Carter as an embarrassment to
  Clinton...Many of his advisers griped that Jimmy Carter thought he was still president, but Clinton
  found this criticism too jaundiced. Carter had spoken with restraint at their joint press conference, he
  allowed, exhibiting a keen political ear...To Clinton, Carter simply felt that he had earned the right to
  speak his mind as an international statesman, even about a mission he had accepted for the United States
  government complete with an Air Force jet. This sense of entitlement could make Carter a thorn, but
  Clinton thought his value far outweighed the political annoyance. He considered Carter a sterling ex-
  resident." [Branch, 200-201]
  Dispatch of Bombers Near Iraq
  ➢ "He expected military strikes to win bipartisan assent, including former presidents Ford, Reagan and
  Bush. 'Dole will support me,' he said. 'Carter will probably criticize me. Carter always criticizes, but he
  doesn't have much positive to say." [Branch, 518]
  Gore
  For the majority of the book, there is little discussion of WJC and Gore's relationship. There are few places
  where he is briefly mentioned and a couple of scenes with some levity. The end, however, describes the
  seemingly brutally candid conversation between the two about the 2000 election and the impeachment.
  ➢ On page 92 Branch writes, "No, he [Clinton] did not ask Gore to take over a failed foreign policy, as
  alleged, but to improve public presentations by his troika of 'bad talkers': shy National Security Adviser
  Tony Lake, boring Secretary of State Warren Christopher, and disorganized Defense Secretary Les
  Aspin." [Branch, 92]

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015
  ➢ In one-passage WJC talks about asking Gore to lead the independent review of Hazel O'Leary and also
  having Gore substitute for him at an economic conference in Japan. The latter did not fare well as other
  nations were offended that Gore, not WJC attended. Gore insisted that WJC needed to go to Japan to
  redeem himself and the administration for his absence. Gore pointed to a few days in January, but WJC
  "pronounced them vital to Chelsea's schoolwork. Gore blinked. So what?...Mutual exasperation spiked.
  `Al,' Clinton told him, 'I am not going to Japan and leave Chelsea by herself to take these exams.' Gore
  erupted. He thought Clinton had lost his bearing. They had a big fight, said the president, and were still
  wrangling about dates for Japan." Branch states that this fight wound up being around the time WJC saw
  Lewinsky. [Branch, 316-317]
  ➢ On page 396-397 there is a scene, which shows Gore's sense of humor and Gore, WJC, et al working as
  a team to secure the Cabinet for the second term.
  ➢ Later there is a passage about an exchange between WJC and HRC about Gore trying to hire a second
  criminal lawyer. HRC already knew he was paying the first one $30,000 per month. The conversation is
  about a leak of an offer from Jim Neal of TN, the former Watergate prosecutor to defend Gore for free.
  The exchange is more on ethics of the offer and its leak to the press than about Gore.
  ➢ On Gore's announcing his campaign. "The president had called twice to congratulate Gore for his
  kickoff events—once from Geneva, hours later from Paris. Clinton thought the only glitches were
  technical... But Gore got all the big things right. His twofold message was perfect: distinguish himself
  from Clinton's personal flaws, and tell voters exactly what he would do for them in the White House.
  The president said it was fine for Gore to call Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky 'inexcusable.'
  First, it was true. Second, it showed a necessary strength to criticized the boss. Third, Gore would be
  badgered to death until he did. 'Al,' Clinton told him, 'if you thought it would help in the campaign, I
  would let you flog me at noon right on the doorstep of the Washington Post.'" [Branch, 553-554]
  Branch continues that WJC told Gore to ignore reporting that he was offended or critical of his
  campaign. "On tape, the president said he confided his chief strategic worry only to Gore himself and to
  Gore's pollster, Mark Penn. The vice president must project his platform—where he stood, precisely
  how and where he would lead the country—because the Republicans would try to knock him off
  substance." [Branch, 554]
  ➢ WJC offered critiques of Gore's campaign throughout, but it was always framed as his fear of Gore not
  succeeding him. For example, "Clinton still thought Gore could win. Most people considered him smart,
  experience, and motivated. He examined the pitfalls for Gore in a campaign showcasing presidential
  character over detailed agendas for the country. Reporters called Gore "stiff," but Clinton discounted
  this liability. He thought Gore's droll sense of humor would wear well over time. Gore also was
  perceived to be too conventional a Democrat, therefore lacking independence, which called for Gore to
  emphasize more his own passion and initiatives. Then the president said Gore could have a brooding
  quality about him, not worrisome or off-putting in itself, but potentially damaging if his serious nature
  failed to give voters a lifted. Clinton isolated the word "sunny." Gore needed more of it." [Branch, 599]
  ➢ He also complimented Gore's knowledge of government workings. "Gore knew Washington. Believe
  me, said the president, his administration would have made many more errors in the first two years had
  it not been for the vice president." He then goes on to say that WJC suggested Gore find someone who
  would be a bright spot to run with, perhaps Durbin or Bradley or Kerrey, although he also goes into
  great detail about the virtues of Mikulski, even though she would never get chosen. How much of this
  was WJC's emphasis versus Branch's focus on his home state senator is unclear. [Branch, 599, 618-19]
  ➢ WJC criticized Gore for not running on the successes of the administration. "They should be running
  essentially for a third term, said the president, but they were afraid the Clinton-Gore record would

  tarnish them with Clinton's character." [Branch, 623] Branch gives WJC's critique of Gore in debate
  that had been heard before—that Gore lacked style and a light touch.
  ➢ Branch has WJC recalling a conversation between WJC and Gore where "Gore had bared himself in one
  of their stressful consultations by insisting that he, Gore, was a good politician, elaborating that he
  meant good on the policy, and also good on the politics, but admitted that he did not instinctively blend
  the two. Gore said he had to think about it, and Clinton thought this was pretty close to the bone...He
  had the stuff to be a great president, and this was the message that Clinton must convey somehow
  without seeming to brag on his own record." [Branch, 623-624]
  ➢ The big passage about Gore begins on page 641 and extends to 645. Branch notes that WJC was unsure
  at first about recording the details. At the outset it says, "For his own part, Gore was not angry, nor did
  he blame Clinton for his defeat, but he wanted to acknowledge forthrightly that some people around him
  did." [Branch, 642] It has WJC acknowledging that Gore's use of him was proper—he was best in the
  White House. Then he says, "'I think you made a mistake not to use me more in the last ten days,'"
  Clinton told Gore, 'but otherwise that was not a big deal. I was much more upset about your message,
  now that we're being honest.'" [Branch, 642] Branch recalls WJC saying Gore fought bag saying that
  "Clinton's drag plagued every direction." Clinton then said that Gore was better at governance than
  Clinton, and Gore would be better for the nation than Bush, and that he was an "unparalleled" vice
  president, but that he had "blind spots." Branch writes that WJC kept saying their confrontation was
  "surreal."
  o Gore had a "fresh grievance...he wanted Clinton to know that the Buddhist temple fund-raising
  scandal had been the worst experience of his life. No one had ever questioned his personal
  integrity, but corrosive publicity and whispers had tormented him now for four years. Gore said
  he had not been disposed to blame Clinton. However, he remembered telling the president that
  he found himself the only English-speaking person at one of those Asian fund-raisers. And the
  president was in charge of the party apparatus that was supposed to screen all the donations for
  trouble. So he did blame Clinton in a way. The president told me he could scarcely believe the
  ensuing tales of suspicion. Gore must still be in shock from the election, or unhinged. 'I thought
  he was in Neverland,' he said." [Branch, 643-644]
  o Branch continues: "The vice president asked Clinton about Monica Lewinsky. He had supported
  Clinton all through the impeachment, publicly and privately, while declaring himself
  disappointed. Yes, said the president. He appreciated that. However, persisted Gore, Clinton did
  not confide any personal feelings. He never explained exactly what happened. There was little to
  say, Clinton replied, beyond failure and regret. He was humiliated and angry, had made mistake.
  He had misled the American people, and he was sorry. Gore closed his point with emphasis.
  Well, he said, this is the first time you have apologized to me personally. Clinton did a double
  take...Gore treated the confession as a watershed. Their colliding perspectives made both of
  them angry. Clinton exploded that Gore's reaction was phony. What was so significant
  here?...Gore exploded back. He was feeling a stubborn repeat of the defensiveness and delayed
  honesty that somehow cost the election. Clinton's character was at the root of it..." [Branch,
  644-45]
  Other
  ➢ Maggie as Person Recommending Panetta: Unlike in My Life, in Branch's book, it has WJC asking
  Maggie to compile confidential suggestions for McLarty's replacement. "Williams was shrewd, discreet,
  and efficient." [Branch, 161]

  > HRC and Haiti Invasion: Branch asked WJC what HRC thought about his foreign policy team's
  suggestion to invade Haiti. "He said the pell-mell rush to invade was crazy to her. Reacting against the
  pressure, the lack of options, and his sense of being trapped, she said he was badly served by his foreign
  policy staff. He said she observed with some suspicion that the chief sponsors of the invasion—Lake,
  Berger, and Talbott—were the same people who had pushed the ill-fated appointment of Bobby Ray
  Inman as defense secretary." [Branch, 189]
  > ITAV: ITAV co-author flap in which Sally Quinn spread rumors that HRC had not written the book.
  Quinn said that HRC had denied credit to the book's collaborator, Barbara Feinman, a friend of Quinn.
  HRC said Feinman had withdrawn from the project. Branch notes that the White House had draft
  chapters in HRC's handwriting. (Branch turned this to be about him and how it affected him as a
  ghostwriter.) From this HRC said that Quinn and her friends launched a rumor that HRC and a female
  veterinarian of Socks' were "discovered...in flagrante on a bedroom floor in the White House." [Branch,
  342-343]
  > Subpoenas of CVC's Friends: Branch tells of how D'Amato, as Chair of the Banking Committee, had
  subpoenaed all those who might have been in the White House when HRC's Rose firm records were
  there. This included "some two dozen of Chelsea's sleepovers." Senator Sarbanes quashed the
  subpoenas for the sleepovers. [Branch, 362]
  ➢ Vernon Jordan Extramarital Sex: In the context of Lewinsky, Branch says of Vernon Jordan, "In our
  glancing associations, I had picked up from Vernon an attitude toward extramarital sex best described as
  lighthearted or recreational." [Branch, 495]
  > Gore/HRC ticket: "By the numbers, and Clinton's gut, a Gore-Hillary ticket would give Democrats their
  best chance to defeat Bush for the White House. 'Hands down,' he [WJC] said, tut I don't think Al
  would ever do it.'" [Branch, 540]
  > WJC suggesting Rubin run for NY Senate seat: The passage comes after WJC talks about supporting
  HRC if she decided to run, which raises a question of whether he had preferred Rubin or whether the
  two events are unconnected. "When the president had urged him [Rubin] to run for and easily win the
  New York Senate seat, Rubin recoiled...He could not fathom why Hillary wanted to run now..."
  [Branch, 557]
  ➢ On trip to South Asia: Branch says that WJC agreed to cancel a stop in Bangladesh, because "of hard
  intelligence that Osama bin Laden had lined the route with assassins." [Branch, 594] My Life discusses
  the cancelled trip but does not specify it was because of bin Laden or assassins.
  DI 'Gephardt is an asshole," Hillary commented. The president, pointing to my recorders, advised gently that the tapes were on. She
  winced but shrugged with a smile. "Well, he is," she insisted. In an awkward silence, I backed up both machines to erase the first
  lady's epithet." [Branch, 263]

  On Monday, DS will be ordering Armor Group to terminate 4 more individuals from the Kabul contract. The terminations
  are a direct result of the investigation, as there is clear evidence that all 4 were either involved in or aware of events that
  violated expectations for appropriate conduct, while serving in a supervisory capacity. They are all being terminated for
  violating the standards of conduct clause.
  The terminations are being handled to ensure that there are no gaps in coverage of essential positions (which may delay
  the departure of one from Kabul for a few days).
  DS is putting together press guidance on the terminations.
  Will give you more details as we get them.

  Counseling That Helps the Dying Live
  By Devin Talbott and Strobe Talbott
  Saturday, August 29, 2009
  Many opponents of health-care reform have concentrated their fire on a provision in House
  legislation that would provide for government reimbursement to doctors who offer end-of-life
  counseling. How our society deals with those confronting death is understandably controversial.
  Unfortunately, the debate has degenerated into a cacophony of demagoguery and distortion,
  including invocations of Hitler and fear-mongering about "death panels." As a result of these
  attacks, a number of senators who are key to determining what bill will emerge from Congress
  have abandoned support for end-of-life counseling.
  Our family's experience this year provided a vivid perspective on the value of that service and
  the misguidedness of the campaign against it. Brooke Shearer -- wife, mother and grandmother
  -- had been fighting cancer for more than a year. She had undergone major surgery, numerous
  scans and biopsies, and two debilitating courses of chemotherapy. Her doctors were among the
  best in their fields. Their expertise did not, however, extend to the fine points of, and latest
  advances in, pain management.
  Brooke was determined to maintain the highest possible quality of her own life and that of her
  family for whatever time we had together. With that goal in mind, she sought advice and
  treatment from palliative-care specialists at Washington Home and Community Hospices. Their
  ingenuity and skill in adjusting her medications significantly alleviated her discomfort in her
  final months. Working closely with her primary physicians, the hospice staff helped Brooke
  anticipate the likely course of her disease in a way that allowed her to make decisions and
  exercise a degree of control over both her own condition and our family's adjustment to it.
  When her oncologist concluded that chemotherapy was not working, Brooke put herself fully
  into the hands of Washington Home as an outpatient. Regular house calls by hospice doctors,
  nurses and social workers enabled her to stay active on professional projects, spend time with
  friends and family, and end her life at home, which was a considerable comfort to her and to us.
  These, not issues of cost, were the principal considerations for our family. However, controlling
  the cost of health care -- especially in the last year of life -- is an important part of the current
  national debate. Therefore it is worth noting that Brooke's treatment in the last stages of her
  illness was far less expensive than it had been in the previous year.
  It has often been said that dying can be a full-time job. That was emphatically not the case with
  Brooke. Until her final days, she concentrated on living -- a choice that end-of-life counseling
  helped make possible. Hospice care more than meets the standard of the Hippocratic oath: It not
  only does no harm -- it does good; it is not about hastening death but enhancing life. If
  counseling about hospice services and palliative care is a beneficiary of health care reform,
  many Americans will be as well.

  On Palau, I'll be following up with Jake. State's proposal would cut per capita income 20% over six years and 10% over

  Dear Melanne,
  The US Ambassador to UNESCO is launching a fierce, ferocious, unfair campaign against the
  Egyptian candidate to UNESCO Minister Farouk Hosni.
  If Washington does not want him — for whatever reasons — this is acceptable as their choice, but
  we think the US, with its principles and weight, should be a fair partner and an objective leader.
  People here am surprised at the position of the US Ambassador. They say "We want to feel that
  change is not just a Motto but starts a new era in our relationship"
  Hosni is an open-minded person who respects all religions. He is
  accused of being Anti-Jewish. That is not true. The allegation is based
  on a quote out of context. He is translating Hebrew literature, restored
  Synagogues and is establishing a Jewish Museum. He rescued the torah
  scrolls and has the symbols of the three religions appear together in
  Video Clips, Pictures and documentaries about Egypt.
  For these, and similar reasons, the fundamental — Terrorists are against him and are the ones
  7Torkilg hard to block his election.

  Reasonable people can disagree on whatever it was
  By Al Kamen
  Monday, October 19, 2009
  They call it the World's Greatest Deliberative Body (WGDB), Part I.
  The Senate Judiciary Committee last week was reviewing an amendment by Sen. Richard Durbin (D-I11.) to the
  USA Patriot Act to clarify the legal standard needed for an investigation under the act. The amendment was
  intended to provide greater protections from abuse by investigators.
  His colleague, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), spoke in opposition, agreeing with committee Chairman Patrick
  Leahy (D-Vt.) and ranking Republican Jeff Sessions (Ala.) that additional protections are not needed.
  "I would just point to the actual language in here," Klobuchar said, "which is, it's not like this is some pie-in-
  the-sky standard here. I mean, it specifically says," she noted approvingly, reading aloud from the bill, that there
  have to be "reasonable grounds to believe that the information sought is relevant to an authorized national
  security investigation," and you can't investigate someone just for exercising free speech rights and there's got
  to be some suspected foreign agent involved.
  "So I just, for anyone listening to this, it is not like there is no standard," she concluded. "There is a standard in
  place here."
  "That's the standard that is in the bill now?" Sessions asked.
  Klobuchar nodded that it was.
  No it's not, Durbin interrupted. "Senator Klobuchar, you just read my amendment," not the bill, he said -- "and I
  think it's critically important that you understand what we're establishing here."
  Whatever. Klobuchar voted against the amendment, which got only a handful of votes anyway.
  Blame the gatekeeper
  The usual pattern at the State Department is that the new secretary arrives at Foggy Bottom for the first day of
  work and enters to rousing cheers from career Foreign Service folks hoping the new boss will actually heed
  their expert advice. (They are, by nature, an optimistic crowd.)
  Then, after 7 months, 8 days and 12 hours, on average, the grumbling begins that the secretary is "not
  accessible" to senior career folks, that she's overly protected by her personal staff, that the promised "open
  door" has slammed shut. The fingers start pointing, usually at the secretary's chief of staff. These days, that's
  Cheryl Mills, who holds that post for Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
  We're hearing complaints even from members of the inner circle that the overworked Mills -- chief of staff,
  counselor, overseer of Haiti policy and food security policy and the department motor pool (okay, not really) --
  has made entry to Clinton's suite something like penetrating the Green Zone in Baghdad.
  Not so, says Undersecretary of State William Burns, the department's top career official. "This secretary is in
  touch every day with as many people across the department as possible, and Cheryl is a big part of making that
  happen."
  Another senior State official said Clinton has been on the road a lot: Asia in July and Africa in August and
  Ireland and Moscow just the other day, and soon she'll be back on the road, pretty much until Thanksgiving.
  There have also been a bunch of meetings of late on AfPak matters.
  Hey, just telling you what we're hearing.
  In a timely fashion ...
  The Loop Better-Late-Than-Never award this year goes to the State Department's personnel bureau. The bureau,
  in an Oct. 13 notice, said it had awarded a $1.6 million contract to Campion Services Inc. in West Lafayette,
  Ind., to "assist the department in ensuring that all examinations for Foreign Service [jobs] have been
  professionally validated and constitute a reliable means of identifying those applicants with the greatest
  possibility of success in the foreign service."
  Well, good thing the department's only been hiring for a couple of hundred years.
  The rest of the résumé
  The White House last week announced that President Obama had selected Jessie H. Roberson, a nuclear expert
  and senior vice president of environmental affairs for the Atlantic Sea Island Group, to be a member of the
  Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board. The bio notes her previous jobs, even her undergraduate degree in
  nuclear engineering.
  Name sounds familiar. Roberson, Roberson: Wasn't she Dubya's appointee as assistant secretary of the Energy
  Department for environmental management, the $6 billion-a-year weapons cleanup program? That's not
  mentioned in the White House release, but she was there from 2001 to 2004.
  Waterboarding for kids?
  WGDB, Part II: Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) must be feeling stressed these days over the travails of his pal, Sen.
  John Ensign (R-Nev.). For those who missed it, Coburn took to the Senate floor last week to decry federal
  deficits, which are not, for him, an abstraction.
  "It is deeply personal with me," Coburn explained. "I have five grandchildren. I look in their eyes, and I see the
  potential of their lives and all of these other children who are out there. You know what? We are going to
  waterboard them. That is what we are going to do. We are going to waterboard them. We are going to flood
  them with debt. We are going to shackle their opportunities. We are going to limit their possibilities because we
  don't have the courage to make the difference for their future."
  Wait a minute! It's just a dunk in the water.

  1. Just to make sure — As one who sorts thru lots of emails from colleagues past and present about life at
  State — I have never seen one person suggest what Kamen suggest in terms of keeping people away from S.

  IP 23: BACKGROUND ON FORUM FOR THE FUTURE
  From an idea of partnership to a growing reality, the Broader Middle East
  and North Africa (BMENA) Initiative represents genuine cooperation
  between the G8 and European nations and the governments, business, and
  civil society of the region to expand opportunities and prosperity for all.
  • The leaders of the G8 industrialized nations and BMENA countries
  launched the Partnership for Progress and a Common Future — a blueprint
  for how G8 and Middle Eastern countries could best work together to
  support indigenous calls for reform — at the G8 Sea Island, Georgia,
  summit in June 2004.
  • The centerpiece of BMENA is the Forum for the Future, an annual
  gathering of G8, European, and BMENA Foreign Ministers with civil
  society to discuss and advance the reform agenda.
  • The Forum for the Future provides a unique venue for BMENA civil
  society organizations to meet with their government ministers as equal
  participants. The Forum fosters constructive government-civil society
  interaction to solve complex political, economic, and social problems of
  participating countries.
  • This year's Forum will include approximately 40 civil society
  representatives who participate directly alongside governments. Civil
  society participation in the Forum has risen considerably every year since
  the first Forum in Morocco in 2004, when only five leaders participated.
  • Foreign ministers from across the BMENA region, the G8, and other
  partner countries now work with these organizations to further progress
  and development in the areas of good governance, civil society,
  economic prosperity, and education.
  • This year, civil society organizations coordinated three preparatory
  meetings involving governments of the region with a cross-section of
  civil society leaders to outline priorities and develop recommendations
  for the Forum ministerial.

  Madame Secretary:
  Thank you for reaching out to Secretary Solis and convincing her to join the Verification Commission. She and Ricardo
  Lagos will make for a very high profile and effective international component of the Commission.
  We will meet with her this morning at 10 am to brief her for Tuesday's journey to Honduras. At this point, it appears we
  have a military aircraft available. The plan is for the U.S. Delegation to depart D.C., stop in Miami to pick up Ricardo
  Lagos, and arrive in Tegucigalpa together. We think this will send a powerful message to Hondurans and leave no doubt
  about our commitment to seeing this process through to a successful conclusion.
  You should be aware that Ambassador Hugo Llorens is under public assault. The Wall Street Journal dedicates its
  America's column this morning to attacking him and calling for his removal. Last Friday, Representative Connie Mack did
  the same. This chorus will grow as the extent of our accomplishment is understood. Llorens is a tough, stalwart guy. He
  and his Mission have held firm during this crisis. A call from you would be a big boost.
  Finally, we will hold an IPC today to identify further steps. We will keep you up to date on these steps and identify
  further opportunities for your engagement.
  I want to thank you for your leadership and support during this long crisis. Your willingness to engage at key moments
  and take risks at the right time have propelled us much further than anyone expected. Your diplomacy prevented a
  debilitating civil conflict in Honduras that would have destabilized Central America and undermined two decades of our
  efforts. We now have a big opportunity in front of us, and for that we are grateful to you.
  Regards,
  Tom

  I spoke w Secretary Solis and thanked her for going to Honduras. She is eager for your briefing and advice when you
  meet w her today. And it is very important that Craig is going w her to guide her thru this process.
  Oscar Arias told me he is very worried about whether the agreement will be implemented and is meeting w the
  leading Presidential candidate this week to urge that he produce his party's 55 votes for restitution.
  I also spoke w Insulza who is focussed on the elections which I told him we would fully support. Is there more we
  should be doing?
  Again, thanks for all your great work and good luck in the effort to get this across the finish line. Best, HRC

  Hello Madame Secretary. I hope you have a productive trip to Pakistan. I wanted to let you know that Ambassador
  Haqqani asked me to submit a proposal to help the Government of Pakistan strengthen its communications with the
  Pakistani public.
  You may recall that my firm did similar hands-on work in Lebanon. The idea is to enhance the Government's internal
  capacity to raise public awareness of its accomplishments, build support for its policies, and demonstrate the benefits of
  democratic governance.
  With stronger communications, they'd obviously be in a better position to convey the benefits of the US-Pakistan
  relationship. We've followed Pakistani media coverage of Kerry-Lugar -- with more strategic communications
  management by the Government, that could have been a positive story.
  (The anti-American forces have used the same messages to attack US aid packages for at least 10 years. It was easy to
  see the attacks coming.)

  Communications help won't solve the immediate political crisis, but it could be one useful element of a larger strategic
  communications strategy.
  I understand there's a strategic communications working group focused on Pakistan. Would you like me to meet with
  anyone to discuss this idea? I'm told Ashley Bommer is working on it. (I don't know her).
  By the way - we're making headway on our campaign for Global Women's Issues - hope to have more to, report soon!

  November 3, 2009
  I suggest a night at the theatre, Mr Cameron
  A sop to the party's Europhobes has left the Conservative leader defending the indefensible. He should be
  ashamed
  David Aaronovitch
  On Friday morning David Cameron called upon David Miliband to apologise. On Friday evening I went to see a play. The
  play was Our Class, by the Polish playwright, Tadeusz Slobodzianek.
  In a series of short "chapters" Slobodzianek followed a group of classmates in a small Polish village from 1925 to 2002.
  Like the village, the class was half Catholic and half Jewish. In 1941, as the Germans replaced the Russians as the
  occupiers, almost all the Jews of the area were murdered in a single day. Slobodzianek shows what led up to the
  massacre and what happened afterwards. It is unbearable.
  Though the village is not named in the play, it is based on real events that took place at Jedwabne on July 10, 1941. As
  Poland's Institute of National Memory concluded in 2002, on that day 40-50 Jewish men were forced to parade around the
  town singing songs, and were then led to a barn on the outskirts where, one by one, they were killed with knives, axes
  and cleavers and then thrown in a pit. Then 300 or more women and children were led from the town square to the barn
  and locked inside. Kerosene was poured over the roof and walls and set alight. The screams could be heard from two
  kilometres away; no one survived.
  In 2001 it was finally acknowledged what many people had known all along. The murderers hadn't been Germans, but
  local Poles, as depicted in Our Class. Alexander Kwasniewski, then the Polish President, apologised to the dead Jews
  and their survivors at a ceremony in Jedwabne "in my own name, and in the name of those Poles whose conscience is
  shattered by that crime".
  History matters. Few believe that as much as the Law and Justice party of Michel Kaminski, who leads the Tory-backed
  group in the European Parliament. The party's leaders have demanded apologies from the Russians for the massacre of
  21,000 Polish officers at Katyn in 1940 and their references to terrible Polish historical suffering have constituted a big
  part, of their political appeal.
  But despite his historical sensitivity Mr Kaminski, the MEP for the Jedwabne area, did not support the 2001 apology. He
  opposed it vigorously, associating himself with the "Committee to Defend the .Good Name of Jedwabne". Among its
  leading members were the local priest, Edward Orlowski, who — asked by journalists whether he would be attending the
  ceremony at which the President apologised — said: "These are all lies. it is not my business. Germans are responsible,
  so why should we apologiSe?"
  Mr Kaminski developed a slightly different rationale. As he told an interviewer for a far-right newspaper, Our Poland, the
  murders — which he abhorred — were the work of a few outcasts, and that he would only apologise if someone "from the
  Jewish side" apologised for how "the Jews" behaved during the Soviet occupation from 1939 to 1941. Last month Mr
  Kaminski (who had denied giving the interview) confirmed this position. "If you are asking the Polish nation to apologise
  for the crime made in Jedwabne," he said, "you would require the whole Jewish nation to apologise for what some Jewish
  communists did in Eastern Poland."
  It is this argument that so incenses me,•as it would anyone, I think, who had sat through Our Class. The idea of collective
  Jewish Bolshevism was a major anti-Semitic trope before the war; it was a major element of self-justification after it.
  Mr Kaminski denied the apology, denied the need for it, equated the massacre to "Jewish actions" and allied himself with
  those who denied the massacre altogether, fulfilling the historian Pierre Vidal-Naquet's observation about patterns of
  massacre denial: "it never happened, it happened but was justified, they did it to themselves, they did it to us." Mr
  Kaminski's view was described as disgraceful by Mr Miiiband. Having read an enormous amount on Jedwabne in the last
  few weeks, I think Mr Miliband is completely right — it is disgraceful. And as he might well demand of Mr Cameron: "I
  should apologise?"
  But more than that, I find myself amazed by how Mr Cameron ever came to be in the position of demanding that a foreign
  secretary, descended from Polish Jews, should apologise for possibly offending the sensibilities of a foreign politician who
  vehemently opposed there being an apology for the massacre of Polish Jews. I think of all the things that Mr Cameron has
  got right in his leadership of the. Conservatve Party and my mental jaw drops at the sheer wrongness of it.
  Now Tory columnists, bioggers and activists are devoting their time to nitpicking sophistry about the nature of collective
  guilt, and to attacking non-existent "smears" that they say have been attached to the unlovely person of Mr Kaminski.
  Why?
  It is true, as embattled Conservatives have argued, that many of the grand European coalitions contain people whose
  history is problematic. There are odds and sods in the big conservative grouping, the EPP, and in the socialist group. But
  these personalities are far outweighed by the parties of the IVIerkels and Sarkozys. The Polish member of the EPP, for
  example, is the ruling free-market, non-nationalist conservative party of Donald Tusk — almost certainly the party that Mr
  Cameron would join if he were a Pole. The new Tory grouping, the European Conservatives and Reformists, by contrast,
  is all about odds and sods whom a continental Cameron would certainly shun, bar one organisation — the British
  Conservatives.
  So why get yourself into a position where you have to explain that the Latvian SS wasn't so bad really, and that Mr
  Kaminski has an understandable position on collective guilt? And the answer seems to be that Mr Cameron promised his
  Europhobes in his leadership campaign back in 2005 that he would leave the "federalist" EPP, and that the logical
  outcome of this move has been the weird alliance that he now finds himself defending.
  Was it all necessary? No. Was it in Britain's interests? Absolutely not. is it in the interests of progressive Conservatism?
  You must be joking. So has this happened because Mr Cameron doesn't really care enough about Europe to think
  through the consequences of his own lightly given promises, or because he's just as much a Euro-nutter as those sects,
  the Hannanites, the Cashists and the Redwoodians?
  This is the kind of advice I loathe, but I'll say it anyway. Go to see Our Class, Mr C. This is one hole you don't want to
  keep digging.

  But more than that, I find myself amazed by how Mr Cameron ever came to be in the position of demanding that a foreign
  secretary, descended from Polish Jews, should apologise for possibly offending the sensibilities of a foreign politician who
  vehemently opposed there being an apology for the massacre of Polish Jews. I think of all the things that Mr Cameron has
  got right in his leadership of the. Conservatve Party and my mental jaw drops at the sheer wrongness of it.
  Now Tory columnists, bioggers and activists are devoting their time to nitpicking sophistry about the nature of collective
  guilt, and to attacking non-existent "smears" that they say have been attached to the unlovely person of Mr Kaminski.
  Why?
  It is true, as embattled Conservatives have argued, that many of the grand European coalitions contain people whose
  history is problematic. There are odds and sods in the big conservative grouping, the EPP, and in the socialist group. But
  these personalities are far outweighed by the parties of the IVIerkels and Sarkozys. The Polish member of the EPP, for
  example, is the ruling free-market, non-nationalist conservative party of Donald Tusk — almost certainly the party that Mr
  Cameron would join if he were a Pole. The new Tory grouping, the European Conservatives and Reformists, by contrast,
  is all about odds and sods whom a continental Cameron would certainly shun, bar one organisation — the British
  Conservatives.
  So why get yourself into a position where you have to explain that the Latvian SS wasn't so bad really, and that Mr
  Kaminski has an understandable position on collective guilt? And the answer seems to be that Mr Cameron promised his
  Europhobes in his leadership campaign back in 2005 that he would leave the "federalist" EPP, and that the logical
  outcome of this move has been the weird alliance that he now finds himself defending.
  Was it all necessary? No. Was it in Britain's interests? Absolutely not. is it in the interests of progressive Conservatism?
  You must be joking. So has this happened because Mr Cameron doesn't really care enough about Europe to think
  through the consequences of his own lightly given promises, or because he's just as much a Euro-nutter as those sects,
  the Hannanites, the Cashists and the Redwoodians?
  This is the kind of advice I loathe, but I'll say it anyway. Go to see Our Class, Mr C. This is one hole you don't want to
  keep digging.

  Madame Secretary:
  Thank you for reaching out to Secretary Solis and convincing her to join the Verification Commission. She and Ricardo
  Lagos will make for a very high profile and effective international component of the Commission.
  We will meet with her this morning at 10 am to brief her for Tuesday's journey to Honduras. At this point, it appears we
  have a military aircraft available. The plan is for the U.S. Delegation to depart D.C., stop in Miami to pick up Ricardo
  Lagos, and arrive in Tegucigalpa together. We think this will send a powerful message to Hondurans and leave no doubt
  about our commitment to seeing this process through to a successful conclusion.
  You should be aware that Ambassador Hugo Llorens is under public assault. The Wall Street Journal dedicates its
  America's column this morning to attacking him and calling for his removal. Last Friday, Representative Connie Mack did

  and his Mission have held firm during this crisis. A call from you would be a big boost.
  Finally, we will hold an IPC today to identify further steps. We will keep you up to date on these steps and identify
  further opportunities for your engagement.
  I want to thank you for your leadership and support during this long crisis. Your willingness to engage at key moments
  and take risks at the right time have propelled us much further than anyone expected. Your diplomacy prevented a
  debilitating civil conflict in Honduras that would have destabilized Central America and undermined two decades of our

  Tom and Craig--
  I spoke w Secretary Solis and thanked her for going to Honduras. She is eager for your briefing and advice when you
  meet w her today. And it is very important that Craig is going w her to guide her thru this process.
  Oscar Arias told me he is very worried about whether the agreement will be implemented and is meeting w the
  leading Presidential candidate this week to urge that he produce his party's 55 votes for restitution.
  I also spoke w Insulza who is focussed on the elections which I told him we would fully support. Is there more we
  should be doing?
  Again, thanks for all your great work and good luck in the effort to get this across the finish line. Best, HRC

  Asif Akhtar, Lahore: Urdu news channel anchors ... succeed in prompting Clinton to declare that far
  from being dispatched, the money had only been set aside, and if the Pakistani people didn't want the
  money they didn't have to take it. The open-ended question reduced a cackling room to pin-drop
  silence, almost embarrassing the anchors for pursuing that line of questioning in the first place. It
  seems none of the haughty anchors were ready to make the billion-dollar blunder by ticking off the
  Secretary of State and losing all that aid money.
  Clinton handled most of the questions and concerns with a calm and a poise people would have
  never expected from her predecessor Condaleeza Rice, who would have been more comfortable
  carrying out the offensive without the charm.
  Given the circumstances, this attempt by a US official at bridging the gap between Pakistani
  opinions and US policy is commendable.

  Terrorizing Aid to Somalia
  The United States is willfully letting millions of Somalis go hungry in
  its drive to hunt down terrorists.
  BY NATALIE PARKE I OCTOBER 30, 2009
  There is a new humanitarian crisis unfolding in Somalia, and the United States is partly to blame. Despite
  sending $2 million and 40 tons of arms and ammunition to the country's Transitional Federal Government
  (TFG) earlier this year, now, the United States is withholding humanitarian aid until relief agencies agree to
  comply with strict, game-stopping conditions.
  The decision to abruptly halt assistance came following suspicions that U.S. aid might be ending up with
  Somali "terrorists." The main worry is an al Qaeda-linked group called al-Shabab, the leading Islamic militant
  group fighting against the feeble but internationally backed government. Al-Shabab controls most of south-
  central Somalia, while the TFG controls only a few areas of the capital, Mogadishu. The south-central region is
  home to 2.7 million of the 3.63 million Somalis in need of emergency assistance. So, reaching many of
  Somalia's people with aid would likely entail operating on al-Shabab's turf and interacting with elements of the
  group to facilitate logistics.
  U.S. Treasury Department sanctions strictly prohibit any financial transactions or dealings with al-Shabab and
  other Somali groups labeled as "terrorists." Yet clearly the concern is not absolute; the U.S. government seems
  less concerned that the guns and ammo sent as military assistance, intended to prop up the fragile government
  and keep control of a country brimming with violence, are allegedly being resold on the streets of Mogadishu.
  The halt in humanitarian assistance will cripple the work of relief organizations and, as a consequence, hurt
  their Somali beneficiaries. U.S. officials justifiably fear that they and their partners could be held responsible,
  even prosecuted, for supporting terrorists if relief funds ended up in the hands of al-Shabab. At first, the U.S.
  government reviewed the situation and "delayed" funding. Subsequently, Washington issued conditions with
  which aid agencies must comply to legally operate in Somalia. But the conditions are so restrictive that it would
  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765106 Date: 07/31/2015

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765106 Date: 07/31/2015
  be virtually impossible for operating agencies to meet them. (To preserve the security of those groups on the
  ground, specific conditions cannot be stated here.) .
  The damage is not just temporary. The new, politically charged rules would destroy relief organizations'
  neutrality in Somalia. Humanitarian aid derives its legitimacy from impartiality -- the notion that aid is
  provisioned on need alone, rather than politics. In Somalia, where the U.S. government is often viewed
  unfavorably, political impartiality is a practical consideration as well; it is central to the ability of relief agencies
  to function safely and effectively. The new U.S. conditions would undermine this core principle by making it
  nearly impossible for relief agencies to legally operate in al-Shabab-run territory, including many of the most
  desperate regions of Somalia. The country is already one of the most dangerous for humanitarian workers, so
  the United States' attempt to bring relief workers under its purview will only increase Somali suspicion toward
  them and make the environment more precarious.
  On top of this policy disaster, money for relief in Somalia is running out. The U.N. World Food Program
  estimates that its coffers will be empty within the next few weeks. Even if more funds were pledged today, it
  could require as many as four months for the money to reach beneficiaries on the ground. There will be an
  inevitable gap in assistance to Somalis.
  The timing could not be worse. The country's already catastrophic humanitarian crisis is being compounded by
  a drought that has struck much of the Horn of Africa. Nearly half the population is estimated to urgently need
  aid -- some 3.63 million people. •
  The U.S. government is holding the Somalia relief enterprise and its beneficiaries hostage to its
  counterterrorism policy. Agencies have resolutely upheld their commitment to humanitarian impartiality and
  refused to be shut down by unreasonable conditions. Unfortunately, that precludes them from accepting U.S.
  funds -- normally half of all aid to Somalia. Until Washington lets agencies fulfill their mission unhindered, the
  U.S. mission to win "hearts and minds" in Somalia, a feared up-and-coming stronghold of terrorism, will be
  completely undermined. Knowingly allowing millions of people to suffer is no way to win friends.

  France: 'Autistic Tories have castrated UK in
  Europe'
  French Europe minister says David Cameron's pledge to reclaim EU powers is 'pathetic' and will leave Britain isolated
  Nicholas',Nat, Patrick yVintpur and :15;rattori.
  c.,uardiari.,;:o.uk, Wednesday 4 November 2009 21.30 GMT
  The Cohseri?t,vea were accused by the French government tonight of "castrating" Britain's position within the EU by
  adopting an "autistic" approach that would take Britain off the radar.
  Speaking to the Guardian, Pierre Lellouche, France's Europe minister, described as "pathetic" the Tories' EU plans
  announced today, warning they would not succeed "for a minute".
  Giving vent to frustration across the EU, which has so'far only been expressed in private, Lellouche — who said he was
  reflecting Nicolas Sarkozy's "sadness and regret" — accused William Hague, the shadow foreign secretary, of a "bizarre
  autism" in their discussions.
  He said: "They have one line and they just repeat one line. It is a very bizarre sense of autism."
  Lellouche, one of the most Anglophile members of Sarkozy's government, made his remarkable intervention after David
  Caii.e.con outlined a fresh Tory approach to the EU in the wake of the full ratification of the Lisbon treaty.
  A future Conservative government would seek to strengthen British sovereignty and repatriate a series of powers Over
  social and employment legislation, the Tory leader said.
  Cameron said he was not seeking an immediate "bust-up" with the EU, and would allow the repatriation of powers
  negotiations to last as long as five years.
  But that position was not enough for the Tory MEP Daniel Hannan, who quit his role as the party's legal affairs spokesman
  in Europe, saying he intended to fight for referendums to enable Britain to become "self-governing".
  France's centre-right government condemned Cameron's plans, saying that they would marginalise Britain within the EU.
  Abandoning all diplomatic niceties, Lellouche said: "It's pathetic. It's just very sad to see Britain, so important in Europe,
  just cutting itself out from the rest and disappearing from the radar map .... This is a culture of opposition ... It is the result
  of a long period of opposition. I know they will come back, but I hope the trip will be short." He said Cameron's approach
  was in line with the Tories' decision to abandon the main centre-right EPP grouping in the European parliament, of which
  Sarkozy's UMP party is a member.
  "They are doing what they have done in the European parliament. They have essentially castrated your UK influence in
  the European parliament," he said.
  Lellouche said he has told Hague personally that his position was a "waste of time for all of us".
  "I have told William Hague: go away for two to three years, in your political economic situation you're going to be all by
  your self and you'll come back. Go ahead and do it. That is my message to them ... You want to be marginalised? Well,
  you go for it. But it's a waste of time for all of us," the French minister said.
  Lellouche made clear the Tories had no hope of securing support for their plans. "It's not going to happen for a minute.
  Nobody is going to indulge in rewriting [treaties for] many, many years. Nobody is going to play with the institutions again.
  It's going to be take it or leave it and they should be honest and say that," he said. "It is a time of tumultuous waters all
  around us. Wars, terrorism, proliferation, Afghanistan, energy with Russia, massive immigration, economic crisis. It is time
  when the destiny of Europe is being defined — whether or not we will exist as a third of the world's GDP capable of fighting
  it out on climate, on trade, on every ... issue on the surface of the Earth.
  "We need to be united, otherwise we will be wiped out and marginalised. None of us can do it alone. Whether you're big
  or small, the lessbn is the same. And [Britain's] risk is one of marginalisation. Irrelevance." He explained: "Finally we have
  institutional package, but it took 15 years of looking at our navel and getting everybody bored to death with sterile debate".
  In a sign of France's determination to resist the Tory plans to opt out of key EU legislation, Lellouche warned the French
  would attempt to reduce Britain's EU budget rebate which will be up for negotiation during the next parliament.
  He pointed out that France is a net EU contributor to the tune of €5bn (E4.5bn), unlike Britain which receives a rebate.
  "If we get a government that is ferociously anti European that will vote down this kind of legislation then I think the
  relationship is going to be very difficult. As we enter the next phase one of the issues we have to discuss midterm is of
  course finances. France is a net contributor to the tune of €5bn a year, of which €1.5bn is the same as British rebate. That
  should tell you quite a bit huh?" he said.
  Cameron will be angered by the attack, and what it implies for Tory relations with the rest of Europe although in the short
  term he will be more concerned to ensure his strategy of abandoning a referendum on the Lisbon treaty does not provoke
  cries, of betrayal on his backbenches.
  Hague reacted to the French criticism by insisting that Lellouche's comments did not represent the true reception of the
  Tories' plans in Europe.
  "That is not how we are seen across Europe," he told BBC2's Newsnight, adding his party had established good relations
  with Sarkozy's party.
  "1 don't think you will find that's representative of the reaction in Paris or other European capitals," he added.

  France: 'Autistic Tories have castrated UK in
  Europe'
  French Europe minister says David Cameron's pledge to reclaim EU powers is 'pathetic' and will leave Britain isolated
  Nicholas',Nat, Patrick yVintpur and :15;rattori.
  c.,uardiari.,;:o.uk, Wednesday 4 November 2009 21.30 GMT
  The Cohseri?t,vea were accused by the French government tonight of "castrating" Britain's position within the EU by
  adopting an "autistic" approach that would take Britain off the radar.
  Speaking to the Guardian, Pierre Lellouche, France's Europe minister, described as "pathetic" the Tories' EU plans
  announced today, warning they would not succeed "for a minute".
  Giving vent to frustration across the EU, which has so'far only been expressed in private, Lellouche — who said he was
  reflecting Nicolas Sarkozy's "sadness and regret" — accused William Hague, the shadow foreign secretary, of a "bizarre
  autism" in their discussions.
  He said: "They have one line and they just repeat one line. It is a very bizarre sense of autism."
  Lellouche, one of the most Anglophile members of Sarkozy's government, made his remarkable intervention after David
  Caii.e.con outlined a fresh Tory approach to the EU in the wake of the full ratification of the Lisbon treaty.
  A future Conservative government would seek to strengthen British sovereignty and repatriate a series of powers Over
  social and employment legislation, the Tory leader said.
  Cameron said he was not seeking an immediate "bust-up" with the EU, and would allow the repatriation of powers
  negotiations to last as long as five years.
  But that position was not enough for the Tory MEP Daniel Hannan, who quit his role as the party's legal affairs spokesman
  in Europe, saying he intended to fight for referendums to enable Britain to become "self-governing".
  France's centre-right government condemned Cameron's plans, saying that they would marginalise Britain within the EU.
  Abandoning all diplomatic niceties, Lellouche said: "It's pathetic. It's just very sad to see Britain, so important in Europe,
  just cutting itself out from the rest and disappearing from the radar map .... This is a culture of opposition ... It is the result
  of a long period of opposition. I know they will come back, but I hope the trip will be short." He said Cameron's approach
  was in line with the Tories' decision to abandon the main centre-right EPP grouping in the European parliament, of which
  Sarkozy's UMP party is a member.
  "They are doing what they have done in the European parliament. They have essentially castrated your UK influence in
  the European parliament," he said.
  Lellouche said he has told Hague personally that his position was a "waste of time for all of us".
  "I have told William Hague: go away for two to three years, in your political economic situation you're going to be all by
  your self and you'll come back. Go ahead and do it. That is my message to them ... You want to be marginalised? Well,
  you go for it. But it's a waste of time for all of us," the French minister said.
  Lellouche made clear the Tories had no hope of securing support for their plans. "It's not going to happen for a minute.

  Re: Agenda with Merkel
  The Transatlantic Economic Council was Chancellor Angela Merkel's major initiative when Germany held the
  EU presidency in 2007. She got President George W. Bush to agree to its formation. But the council now
  languishes. Has the US appointed its representative? The council is more about coordinating regulatory matters
  than trade, by the way. Raising Merkel's project and reinvigorating it would undoubtedly be well received.
  Below is an article from Europolitics Daily from January 2009 on the council. State could work this up.

  As Barack Obarna was coasting to victory last November, the leader of the Socialist MEPs, Martin Schulz, urged him to
  "make sure Europe is on the top of his in-tray". Two months on, there is considerable doubt as to whether Obama wilt
  indeed take this advice or leave Europe lingering towards the bottom of the pile. Nowhere is this danger more striking
  than with the Transatlantic Economic Council (TEC), the body German Chancellor Angela Merkel persuaded President
  George Bush to set up in April 2007 to remove regulatory barriers to transatlantic trade.
  STILL NO TEC CHAIR
  Obama has been widely praised for moving quickly, by comparison to previous new presidents, to ,nominate his new
  administration. Yet his spokesman told Europolitics he has still not appointed the future co-chair of the TEc. In the
  interim, Michelle O'Neill, Deputy Undersecretary at the Department of Commerce, has been tasked with ensuring

  continuity. The EU Co-Chair is Commission Vice-President Gunter Verheugen. Given that dozens of nominations have
  already been announced, this may be a sign that among his long list of priorities, the TEC, the most significant EU-US
  initiative to emerge in recent years, will not feature highly. it should be noted that when Obama was chair of the Senate
  Subcommittee on Europe, from 2007 to 2008, he did not organise a single hearing, something on.which his then rival in
  the presidential campaign, Senator Hillary Clinton, tried - and failed - to score political points.
  The Democrats, who have grown more protectionist-minded on trade, now have a commanding majority in both the US
  Senate and House of Representatives: Obama, himself a Democrat, is being careful to cultivate good relations with them
  and not take for granted their support, which he desperately needs to push through his ambitious economic policy
  agenda. It was Congress that in 2007 introduced the 100% rule, requiring all US-bound containers leaving European ports
  to be scanned before being loaded onto the departing ship. This has been a thorn in the EU's side ever since and now
  features on the TEC agenda. In the current climate, Congress is unlikely to be clamouring to scrap the rule and may not
  even wish to extend the 2012 implementation deadline as the EU is asking. Anxious not to burn bridges, Obama could
  well go along with Congress in order to avoid an unnecessary fight.
  AMERICANS NOT SO HOT ON TRADE
  Congress' protectionism does not magically appear in a vacuum. it is reflective of mounting fears among the US public
  about the impact free trade has on US jobs. Their fears are not entirely groundless. American manufacturing jobs are
  indeed going overseas notably to India and China. And being unemployed in the US is a more perilous predicament
  than in Europe because government unemployment benefits are less generous and more temporary.- Moreover, most
  Americans, unlike Europeans, have their health care paid for by their employer so if they lose their job they also lose
  their health care. Hardly surprising, therefore, that only 59% of Americans think trade is good for their country,
  compared to 78% of French and British, '80% of Czechs and 85% of Germans, a Pew Research centre survey has shown.
  This.bearish sentiment has a knock-on effect on all trade dossiers. For example, it makes Congress less amenable to
  scrapping the law requiring US airlines to be in 'actual control' of US citizens - something the EU is urging in the current
  Open Sky II aviation liberalisation talks. It makes US lawmakers more likely to take action to prevent European companies
  winning lucrative US defence contracts. This is happening already with the epic tussle between Boeing and Airbus over
  the Pentagon's US$35 billion refuelling tanker contract (see separate article). EU officials are clinging to the hope that
  Obama, as president, wilt adopt a more global outlook and drag the Democratic Congress along with him rather than
  the other way around.
  A VICTIM OF DULLNESS?
  The TEC, despite having failed to deliver as much as many hoped for, remains an extremely useful tool. By emphasising
  regulatory rather than tariff barriers, it shows an understanding of where the real problems tie in today's trading
  environment. The EU and the US could use the TEC to create a global standard in hugely important sectors, such as toys
  and food. "The alternative," as Dan Hamilton, director of the Centre for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins
  University in Washington notes, "is that we end up with Chinese standards".
  Yet the TEC has one weakness no one should underestimate: its dullness. Discussing highly technical regulatory
  divergences, such as whether to wash chickens in chlorine or water, may have been Chancellor Merkel's cup of tea but
  French President Nicolas Sarkozy showed little interest in-it during the French EU Presidency. Without strong impetus
  from someone on Obarria's team who has the power to make things happen, the TEC - like an old soldier - might not -
  actually die but just fade away.

  While there is much talk about the rising power of China and India, the transatlantic economy still far outstrips
  the rest of the world in size and wealth. The EU27 and the US accounted for nearly 57% of world gross domestic'
  product in 2007, while the transatlantic economy made up 47% of world exports and 52% of world imports. The net
  worth per household in the US is US$565,000, in France USS518,000, in the U.K. US$599,000, compared to just
  US$18,000 in' China, US$31,000 in Russia and US$44,000 Brazil.

  Hillary's Moment: Clinton Faces the World
  By Joe Klein
  Time Magazine
  Wednesday, Nov. 04, 2009
  It was Halloween night in Jerusalem, and Benjamin Netanyahu came dressed as a peacemaker. "We're prepared to start
  peace talks immediately," the notoriously reluctant Israeli Prime Minister proclaimed, with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
  Clinton standing at his side, poker-faced. "I think we should ... get on it and get with it."
  It was a ploy, of course. The Palestinians were tangled up in themselves, yet again. They had elections looming, and their
  leader, Mahmoud Abbas, had to hang tough: he was demanding a total freeze to Israeli settlement-building on the West
  Bank — which was precisely what the Obama Administration had previously said it favored. Netanyahu was offering a
  partial freeze, not including new settlements in East Jerusalem, the desired capital of a future Palestinian state. This was
  a nonstarter for the Palestinians, but it had the holographic glow of a step forward. It was an "unprecedented" offer,
  Netanyahu trumpeted, with the joy of a chess master springing a trap.(See photos from 60 years of Israel.)
  It was a tough moment for Clinton, playing second fiddle at the Bibi-does-Gandhi show. President Barack Obama had
  softened his language on the settlements a few weeks earlier: instead of a total freeze, he had talked about Israeli
  "restraint" in settlement-building. And now Clinton seemed to cement the Administration's retreat, agreeing that
  Netanyahu's proposal was, indeed, "unprecedented," even though the U.S. still favored a total freeze. The most
  important thing, she added, was for the parties to get to the table as quickly as possible. The onus was back on the
  Palestinians — and the Palestinians quickly expressed outrage at the Obama Administration's retreat. Their Arab
  neighbors soon joined in, causing Clinton to backtrack two days later, telling reporters the Israeli plan "falls far short" of
  U.S. expectations, although she still insisted on calling it "unprecedented," which was neither diplomatic nor wise.
  Suddenly the Obama Administration seemed wobbly on the Middle East; clearly, Clinton had been too bullish on
  Netanyahu's proposal (which had been negotiated over months with Middle East envoy George Mitchell and was seen,
  privately, by the Americans as real progress). But the Administration's mission was to get the parties into peace talks
  without preconditions. The Israelis were now in favor of talks. The Palestinians were setting preconditions. And Clinton
  had violated an essential rule of her job: boring is almost always better.(See photos from the life and career of former
  Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.)
  Clinton's Three Qualities
  For the past 40 years, the awkward Middle East press conference has helped define the job of Secretary of State. You go
  to Jerusalem or Ramallah; you stand there "guardedly optimistic" in public; in private, you try to move a comma, but the
  Israelis or Palestinians move, a semicolon to block your comma. The result is almost always the same: gridlock. The
  breakthroughs, when they come, emanate from others. Walter Cronkite asks Anwar Sadat if he'd be willing to go to
  Jerusalem ... and Sadat, to everyone's surprise, says yes. The Israelis and Palestinians hold secret meetings in Oslo and
  reach what appears to be a breakthrough — they're talking! — which then becomes another dead end.
  The job of Secretary of State is more thankless than glamorous; in some ways, the Department of State, a noble antique,
  is still trying to come to terms with the invention of the telephone. In an era when Twitter haiku-messaging rules,
  diplomacy moves at the speed, and requires the nuanced complexity, of literature. Power has drifted from State to the
  National Security Council and the Pentagon, especially in wartime. Only a few of Clinton's recent predecessors have
  distinguished themselves. Henry Kissinger, a National Security Adviser who belatedly became Secretary of State, was
  Richard Nixon's schizophrenic alter ego; George Shultz was a strong policy voice in the Reagan Administration; James
  Baker had clout because he was George H.W. Bush's best friend and a world-class dealmaker. Most of the others have
  been frustrated or forgettable. And yet this is Hillary Clinton we're talking about — the second most popular American in
  the world, an eternally compelling and supremely talented character, the subject of constant speculation, a walking
  headline. Her very presence in the job makes it crucial once more.
  It is a cliché to say that by naming Clinton, Obama brought his most popular potential opponent into the tent. The
  conventional wisdom, too cynical by half, is that he thereby succeeded in neutering her, a theory bolstered by Clinton's
  reticence during her first nine months on the job, with special envoys like Mitchell and Richard Holbrooke doing the
  heavy lifting of diplomacy. But by naming Clinton, Obama also gave her great power, which cuts both ways: if she
  becomes dissatisfied with her role or the Administration's policies, she can become a torpedo aimed at the Oval Office.
  Colin Powell had similar power and a real gripe — the Iraq war — but never used it. Clinton has no such gripe, but as the
  Obama Administration settles in and policy differences begin to emerge among the key players, the Powell conundrum
  looms: How will Clinton choose to use her power? How will Obama react if and when she does?
  Traditionally, the Secretary of State is judged on his or her ability to formulate policy, negotiate deals and manage the
  striped-pants bureaucracy. Clinton has no history as a global strategist, although her performance in the 2008 campaign
  indicates that she is a bit more conservative than the President, more the foreign policy realist than the Wilsonian
  idealist. It is also too early to judge her skill as a manager or negotiator — although her performance in Jerusalem
  indicates that she needs a few lessons in Middle East Haggling 101.
  There are, however, three qualities that could make her a memorable Secretary of State. She brings a vision of
  departmental reform — the need to elevate foreign aid programs to the same status and rigorous scrutiny as diplomacy
  — that could change striped pants into chinos in the developing world. She is also the first elected politician to hold the
  office since Edmund Muskie briefly did during the Carter Administration, which has enabled her to better understand
  and interact with the politicians who run places like Afghanistan and Pakistan. But most important, she is an
  international celebrity with a much higher profile than any of her recent predecessors and the ability — second only to
  the President's — to change negative attitudes about the U.S. abroad.
  She has the potential to become the most powerful public diplomat the U.S. has fielded in quite some time, although
  her performance so far, at home and abroad, has occasionally been perplexing. At home, she has often seemed
  tentative and deferential. In a conversation with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates aired by CNN in early October,
  Clinton's cautious formality took a backseat to Gates' brisk, humorous confidence on policy issues. Abroad, she seems
  far more confident, at times to the point of recklessness, as in Jerusalem. (See photos of the last days of Hillary Clinton's
  campaign.)
  Independence and Candor
  In the last week of October, Secretary Clinton moved squarely to the center of the world stage, attempting, at the
  behest of her special envoys, to improve the rocky alliance with Pakistan and nudge the Middle East pugilists into talks.
  In the course of the trip, there were the first stray wisps of a hint that Clinton wanted to begin asserting her
  independence, as the Administration, facing roadblocks across the world, struggled for a firmer foreign policy tone after
  an opening nine months that might be called the Rodney King — "Can't we all just get along?" — phase.
  During her three days in Pakistan, she ran a gauntlet of town-hall meetings and media interviews that may have been
  unprecedented, to use the word of the week, for a U.S. Secretary of State. The trip, planned by Holbrooke and Pakistan
  specialist Vali Nasr, offered an unusually subtle itinerary for a U.S. diplomatic mission. A visit to a Sufi mosque that had
  been bombed by Sunni extremists, for example, sent a powerful message to Pakistan's moderate Islamic majority. "We
  saw her praying there," an academic named Shala Aziz told me, "and, for the first time, I'm thinking, The Americans have
  hearts."(See photos of the suicide bombings in Islamabad.)
  The big news was that Clinton allowed herself to be hammered with hostile questions from students, talk-show hosts
  and Pashturi elders -- and that, on occasion, she pushed back, raising incredibly sensitive issues, like why no one in the
  Pakistani government knew where Osama bin Laden was, even though he had been in the country since 2002. Press
  accounts either emphasized the embarrassment of a Secretary of State's getting pummeled or fixed on Clinton's
  undiplomatic bluntness. But they missed the point: her candor, her willingness to listen to and acknowledge criticism,
  had begun to undermine the prevailing Pakistani image of the U.S. as arrogant and bossy, more interested in having the
  Pakistani military fight its war against al-Qaeda and the Taliban than in having a true strategic partnership. The contrast
  was especially sharp after George W. Bush's eight years of unqualified support for the military dictatorship of Pervez
  Musharraf. "In the past, when the Americans came, they would talk to the generals and go home," said Farahnaz
  Ispahani, a government spokeswoman and Member of Parliament. "Clinton's willingness to meet with everyone, hostile
  or not, has made a big impression — and because she's Hillary Clinton, with a real history of affinity for this country, it
  means so much more."
  Transformative Experience
  There are no toasts at state dinners in Pakistan, because there is no alcohol. There are opening statements, though, and
  Clinton's — delivered impromptu on the first night of her trip after tossing aside her notes — was surprisingly emotional.
  Earlier in the day, President Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of Benazir Bhutto, had presented the Secretary with an album
  of photos from her first visit to Pakistan, in 1995, and a framed photo of Bhutto and her two sons with Clinton and
  daughter Chelsea. "It did bring tears to my eyes," Clinton said at the state dinner in her honor at the presidential palace,
  "because I so admired your wife. She gave her life ..." She faltered then, choking up, but quickly pulled herself together,
  talking about the "reasons why we do what we do — to provide opportunities for all."
  Clinton's first trip to Pakistan as First Lady in 1995 had been a transformative experience for her — the beginning, I
  believe, of the•process that made her a plausible candidate for Secretary of State. I traveled with her on that trip; when
  we set off, she seemed depressed and even more private than usual. The Democrats had cratered in the 1994
  congressional elections, and she had been trounced in her efforts to enact a universal health care plan. It was a very
  personal defeat; as Clinton traveled the country trying to sell the plan, crowds shouted her down and cursed her.
  Privately she admitted she was shocked by the hatred. The trip to South Asia seemed a bit of a vacation — it was
  Chelsea's spring break — but also a retreat to a more demure, First Lady–like role after two years as health care policy
  czar, although it proceeded in a decidedly wonky, Hillarian fashion. Jackie Kennedy had gone to India and famously
  ridden an elephant; Hillary Clinton traveled to five countries and packed her schedule with visits to NGOs.
  "That was the greatest trip, just unbelievable," Clinton says now. We were sitting in her hotel suite the day after her
  Jerusalem gaffe, the Secretary in an electric-blue shift rather than her usual formal jacket and pants. She was wearing
  glasses and appeared rather freckly without her makeup. "I guess that trip has animated and informed everything I've
  done since," she said. She emerged from the trip reinvigorated, with a new mission. By the end of 1995, at the U.N.
  Conference on Women in Beijing, the First Lady had propounded a new Clinton Doctrine: "Women's rights are human
  rights."(See photos of Beijing's changing skyline.)
  Clinton is not an easy interview. She is preternaturally cautious, a consequence of her Methodist propriety and 20 years
  of insane public scrutiny. She does not like to talk about herself, but she did tell me one interesting story about Bhutto.
  When her husband was governor of Arkansas, she and Bill and Chelsea visited London and stood on the sidewalk outside
  Bhutto's hotel, waiting for the then Pakistani Prime Minister to arrive. "She was wearing a yellow embroidered shalwar
  kameez with a chiffon scarf. I was just a fan, standing on the sidewalk with everyone else. It was the only time I ever did
  anything like that," Clinton says.
  When Clinton and Bhutto met formally, on the first day of the 1995 trip, they hit it off immediately, in part because
  Bhutto was also obsessed with the impact the Islamist tide was having on women and children. I remember asking
  Bhutto that day what the biggest change in her country had been over the past 25 years, and she said, "I used to be able
  to walk down the street wearing jeans, without a headscarf. Now I can't." When I asked her why, she said — bluntly —
  "The Saudis," who had been aggressively funding religious schools. Of course, Bhutto's acquiescence to, and
  participation in, the general corruption of the Pakistani government was part of the reason public schools were so
  inadequate and madrasahs became popular. (See photos from the aftermath of Benazir Bhutto's assassination in 2007.)
  Ironically, the rise of Sunni extremist groups like al-Qaeda has brought Clinton's interests — microfinance, education and
  health care — to the center of national-security policy for the first time. The impetus came not from the State
  Department but from the military, where counterinsurgency doctrine demanded that social services in war zones -
  schools, justice, economic development — reinforce the military's efforts to secure the population. As a result, there
  was immediate chemistry between Clinton and General David Petraeus, author of the Army's counterinsurgency
  manual, who became one of her prime military mentors when she served on the Senate Armed Services Committee. At
  one point, well before Obama made his presidential intentions known, I asked Petraeus if there was any potential
  Democratic candidate who understood how his mind worked, and he said, "You mean, aside from Hillary?"
  It was Clinton who brought together Petraeus and Holbrooke ("my two alpha males," she calls them) for the first time -
  at her home in Washington on the Friday before the Obama Inauguration. The affection and respect she gained for the
  military while serving in the Senate has helped make the relationship between State and the Pentagon less fraught than
  usual — although Defense Secretary Gates' insistence on the need for bigger State Department budgets hasn't hurt. In
  fact, relations with the Pentagon have gone smoother, at times, than Clinton's relationship with the White House staff.
  Clinton was particularly irritated by the ridiculously strict vetting process that thwarted her favored candidate for USAID
  director, Paul Farmer, from getting the job. "It was all sorts of niggling things," says a Clinton adviser, "like, Farmer had
  at one point brought more than $10,000 in cash into Haiti. The money was for a needle-exchange program, but the
  amount was illegal."
  Another of Clinton's military mentors, retired General Jack Keane, once told me, "I'm a Republican. I disagree with her
  about practically everything, but she'd make a hell of a Commander in Chief." There is a palpable toughness to the
  woman, a hard edge that contrasts with the President's instinctive impulse toward conciliation. One of the sharpest
  exchanges of the presidential campaign came when Obama accused Clinton of echoing the "bluster" of George W. Bush
  after she said the U.S. would be able to "obliterate" Iran if it used nuclear weapons against Israel. Clinton's edgier tone
  has been evident from the start of the Administration: she took a sharper position than the President on an Israeli
  settlement freeze by claiming, in May, that Obama wanted "to see a stop to settlements. Not some settlements, not
  outposts, not natural-growth exceptions." And then, in Jerusalem, her use of the word unprecedented seemed a
  rhetorical leap beyond the No Drama ground rules.(Read "Clinton's Collateral Damage.")
  The White House was not entirely thrilled with either statement. But then the White House staff is several steps
  removed from a negotiating process. The Palestinians are weak and divided. The Israelis have been difficult, as always:
  whenever Mitchell raises East Jerusalem in talks with the Israeli Foreign Minister, the Israeli stands up and walks out of
  the room. Despite Netanyahu's momentary, tactical enthusiasm for peace talks, his Likud Party has always favored the
  de facto incorporation of Palestinian lands into the state of Israel.
  Hillary's Choice
  The tensions between the White House and State raise a fascinating question going forward. Obama and Clinton are in
  substantive agreement on the President's diplomacy-first philosophy and on most policy issues — although neither is
  willing to disclose the content of their private conversations — but style often predicts substance in foreign policy;
  neither Obama's gauziness nor Clinton's inconsistent bluntness overseas seems particularly solid. There is a growing
  perception that the Administration's policies have been thwarted across the board: Afghanistan is a mess, Iran seems
  ready to scuttle the nuclear negotiations, there's no progress in the Middle East, the Syrians and North Koreans remain
  recalcitrant, the Russians have been offered a freebie on missile defense, and the Chinese have been given a pass on
  human rights with no apparent quid pro quos.
  The White House argues that some progress has been made: Iran is on the defensive, and North Korea has said it will
  return to the six-party talks. Clinton argues, correctly, about the need for "strategic patience." But the only thing Obama
  really has to show for his efforts so far is a Nobel Prize for Potential and — no small thing — the wisdom to have
  refrained from doing anything so wildly stupid as invading Iraq. The President has been willing to use military force -
  the Predator drones that have decimated al-Qaeda's leadership testify to his lack of squeamishness — but this
  Administration is supposed to be about the efficacy of using subtler expressions of.U.S. power. That doesn't happen
  overnight, but for Obama's policies to be considered a success, it has to happen sooner or later, in a way that can be
  explained to the public.
  There is also a growing sense that the President's inexperience is beginning to show — not in his overall policy, which
  represents the views of a broad, moderate national-security consensus ranging from Brent Scowcroft to John Kerry, but
  in his execution of the details. The Afghan strategy review has been too public and taken too long; the Middle East peace
  hunt has become a wild goose chase. A letter to Iran's Supreme Leader is a productive gesture only if it gets a response;
  if it doesn't, it seems weak and supplicatory. A call for the Israelis to freeze settlements is effective only if it is
  accompanied by the credible threat of a reduction in aid. "You can't be seen pushing countries around — demanding
  [that] Israel freeze settlements, demanding that Hamid Karzai reform his government — and not get results," says Leslie
  H. Gelb, author of Power Rules. "The leaders of these countries are tough, successful politicians, and they'll begin to take
  you less seriously." (See photos from the 1979 revolution in Iran.)
  Clinton is unwilling to acknowledge these problems, and her staff is loath to admit her occasional mistakes. Her praise
  for the President is fulsome, and aides say the relationship with Obama really — really — is strong. But there are also
  burblings and emanations from Clinton's staff and friends, Foggy Bottom body language, that suggest there is a need for
  the Administration to produce a second act after the Rodney King phase. And the White House is perplexed by the
  uncharacteristic lack of discipline indicated by Clinton's occasional overseas gaffes.
  These tensions are well within the boundaries of normal, creative policymaking. There is absolutely no indication that
  the Secretary is frustrated to the point of jumping ship — or returning to politics as a candidate for governor of New
  York, as has been rumored. Quite the contrary, she seems intent on making history as Secretary of State. To do that,
  though, she will have to have the same authority at home as she has abroad. She will have to become the President's
  primary foreign policy voice. Over the first nine months of the Obama Administration, seven different Obama officials
  have spoken on the Sunday talk shows about foreign policy. Clinton has been on each of the Sunday shows once. "Either
  you have one person sending the foreign policy message, with the clear approval of the President," says a former
  Republican Secretary of State, "or there is no message."(See photos from eight months of Obama's diplomacy.)
  Aides to Obama say they would like to see her on the Sunday shows more often. (Indeed, Clinton's staff acknowledged
  that she was asked to appear two additional times but was traveling and unable to do so.) Ultimately, though, television
  is a metaphor for the larger questions that need to be resolved: How much can these former rivals — both extremely
  guarded and private people — really trust each other; and, if not Clinton, who will emerge as the President's alter ego
  on foreign policy? At this point, the strongest member of Obama's national-security team is Gates — but he's a
  Republican and an unlikely spokesman or presidential confidant on anything beyond Pentagon issues. General Jim Jones
  has settled in as National Security Adviser, but he's not a political animal — and every President needs a close foreign
  policy adviser who understands the intersection of long-term strategy, politics and diplomatic chess.
  Clinton's value to the Administration was clear in Pakistan. She wowed a public so skeptical that it had been questioning
  the $7.5 billion in purely economic and humanitarian aid the Administration had promised. "How much damage control
  have you been able to do on this trip?" asked Meher Bokhari, a television-news-show host, at the end of Clinton's
  meeting with Pakistani women. The Secretary seemed nonplussed by the bluntness of the question. "I don't know," she
  said. "I hope some."
  Afterward, I asked Bokhari to answer her own question. "Well, this trip was long overdue," she said. "The Pakistani
  people really needed to talk to an American about our concerns — the strings attached to aid programs, the drone
  attacks, their history of support for the military dictatorship. And it needs to be followed up. But if you ask me about the
  damage control" — she paused, thinking it through — "I'd have to say a lot. She accomplished a lot."
  In the end, though, Clinton's success will be determined by whether she can expand her role beyond public diplomat.
  She will have to become a more sure-handed negotiator and, most important, a trusted adviser to a President who
  knows where he wants to go in the world but hasn't quite figured out how to get there.

  Hillary's Moment: Clinton Faces the World
  By Joe Klein
  Time Magazine
  Wednesday, Nov. 04, 2009
  It was Halloween night in Jerusalem, and Benjamin Netanyahu came dressed as a peacemaker. "We're prepared to start
  peace talks immediately," the notoriously reluctant Israeli Prime Minister proclaimed, with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
  Clinton standing at his side, poker-faced. "I think we should ... get on it and get with it."
  It was a ploy, of course. The Palestinians were tangled up in themselves, yet again. They had elections looming, and their
  leader, Mahmoud Abbas, had to hang tough: he was demanding a total freeze to Israeli settlement-building on the West
  Bank — which was precisely what the Obama Administration had previously said it favored. Netanyahu was offering a
  partial freeze, not including new settlements in East Jerusalem, the desired capital of a future Palestinian state. This was
  a nonstarter for the Palestinians, but it had the holographic glow of a step forward. It was an "unprecedented" offer,
  Netanyahu trumpeted, with the joy of a chess master springing a trap.(See photos from 60 years of Israel.)
  It was a tough moment for Clinton, playing second fiddle at the Bibi-does-Gandhi show. President Barack Obama had
  softened his language on the settlements a few weeks earlier: instead of a total freeze, he had talked about Israeli
  "restraint" in settlement-building. And now Clinton seemed to cement the Administration's retreat, agreeing that
  Netanyahu's proposal was, indeed, "unprecedented," even though the U.S. still favored a total freeze. The most
  important thing, she added, was for the parties to get to the table as quickly as possible. The onus was back on the
  Palestinians — and the Palestinians quickly expressed outrage at the Obama Administration's retreat. Their Arab
  neighbors soon joined in, causing Clinton to backtrack two days later, telling reporters the Israeli plan "falls far short" of
  U.S. expectations, although she still insisted on calling it "unprecedented," which was neither diplomatic nor wise.
  Suddenly the Obama Administration seemed wobbly on the Middle East; clearly, Clinton had been too bullish on
  Netanyahu's proposal (which had been negotiated over months with Middle East envoy George Mitchell and was seen,
  privately, by the Americans as real progress). But the Administration's mission was to get the parties into peace talks
  without preconditions. The Israelis were now in favor of talks. The Palestinians were setting preconditions. And Clinton
  had violated an essential rule of her job: boring is almost always better.(See photos from the life and career of former
  Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.)
  Clinton's Three Qualities
  For the past 40 years, the awkward Middle East press conference has helped define the job of Secretary of State. You go
  to Jerusalem or Ramallah; you stand there "guardedly optimistic" in public; in private, you try to move a comma, but the
  Israelis or Palestinians move, a semicolon to block your comma. The result is almost always the same: gridlock. The
  breakthroughs, when they come, emanate from others. Walter Cronkite asks Anwar Sadat if he'd be willing to go to
  Jerusalem ... and Sadat, to everyone's surprise, says yes. The Israelis and Palestinians hold secret meetings in Oslo and

  reach what appears to be a breakthrough — they're talking! — which then becomes another dead end.
  The job of Secretary of State is more thankless than glamorous; in some ways, the Department of State, a noble antique,
  is still trying to come to terms with the invention of the telephone. In an era when Twitter haiku-messaging rules,
  diplomacy moves at the speed, and requires the nuanced complexity, of literature. Power has drifted from State to the

  kameez with a chiffon scarf. I was just a fan, standing on the sidewalk with everyone else. It was the only time I ever did
  anything like that," Clinton says.
  When Clinton and Bhutto met formally, on the first day of the 1995 trip, they hit it off immediately, in part because

  Bhutto was also obsessed with the impact the Islamist tide was having on women and children. I remember asking
  Bhutto that day what the biggest change in her country had been over the past 25 years, and she said, "I used to be able
  to walk down the street wearing jeans, without a headscarf. Now I can't." When I asked her why, she said — bluntly —
  "The Saudis," who had been aggressively funding religious schools. Of course, Bhutto's acquiescence to, and
  participation in, the general corruption of the Pakistani government was part of the reason public schools were so
  inadequate and madrasahs became popular. (See photos from the aftermath of Benazir Bhutto's assassination in 2007.)
  Ironically, the rise of Sunni extremist groups like al-Qaeda has brought Clinton's interests — microfinance, education and
  health care — to the center of national-security policy for the first time. The impetus came not from the State
  Department but from the military, where counterinsurgency doctrine demanded that social services in war zones -
  schools, justice, economic development — reinforce the military's efforts to secure the population. As a result, there
  was immediate chemistry between Clinton and General David Petraeus, author of the Army's counterinsurgency
  manual, who became one of her prime military mentors when she served on the Senate Armed Services Committee. At
  one point, well before Obama made his presidential intentions known, I asked Petraeus if there was any potential
  Democratic candidate who understood how his mind worked, and he said, "You mean, aside from Hillary?"
  It was Clinton who brought together Petraeus and Holbrooke ("my two alpha males," she calls them) for the first time -
  at her home in Washington on the Friday before the Obama Inauguration. The affection and respect she gained for the
  military while serving in the Senate has helped make the relationship between State and the Pentagon less fraught than
  usual — although Defense Secretary Gates' insistence on the need for bigger State Department budgets hasn't hurt. In
  fact, relations with the Pentagon have gone smoother, at times, than Clinton's relationship with the White House staff.
  Clinton was particularly irritated by the ridiculously strict vetting process that thwarted her favored candidate for USAID
  director, Paul Farmer, from getting the job. "It was all sorts of niggling things," says a Clinton adviser, "like, Farmer had
  at one point brought more than $10,000 in cash into Haiti. The money was for a needle-exchange program, but the
  amount was illegal."
  Another of Clinton's military mentors, retired General Jack Keane, once told me, "I'm a Republican. I disagree with her
  about practically everything, but she'd make a hell of a Commander in Chief." There is a palpable toughness to the
  woman, a hard edge that contrasts with the President's instinctive impulse toward conciliation. One of the sharpest
  exchanges of the presidential campaign came when Obama accused Clinton of echoing the "bluster" of George W. Bush
  after she said the U.S. would be able to "obliterate" Iran if it used nuclear weapons against Israel. Clinton's edgier tone
  has been evident from the start of the Administration: she took a sharper position than the President on an Israeli
  settlement freeze by claiming, in May, that Obama wanted "to see a stop to settlements. Not some settlements, not
  outposts, not natural-growth exceptions." And then, in Jerusalem, her use of the word unprecedented seemed a
  rhetorical leap beyond the No Drama ground rules.(Read "Clinton's Collateral Damage.")
  The White House was not entirely thrilled with either statement. But then the White House staff is several steps
  removed from a negotiating process. The Palestinians are weak and divided. The Israelis have been difficult, as always:
  whenever Mitchell raises East Jerusalem in talks with the Israeli Foreign Minister, the Israeli stands up and walks out of
  the room. Despite Netanyahu's momentary, tactical enthusiasm for peace talks, his Likud Party has always favored the
  de facto incorporation of Palestinian lands into the state of Israel.
  Hillary's Choice
  The tensions between the White House and State raise a fascinating question going forward. Obama and Clinton are in
  substantive agreement on the President's diplomacy-first philosophy and on most policy issues — although neither is
  willing to disclose the content of their private conversations — but style often predicts substance in foreign policy;
  neither Obama's gauziness nor Clinton's inconsistent bluntness overseas seems particularly solid. There is a growing
  perception that the Administration's policies have been thwarted across the board: Afghanistan is a mess, Iran seems
  ready to scuttle the nuclear negotiations, there's no progress in the Middle East, the Syrians and North Koreans remain
  recalcitrant, the Russians have been offered a freebie on missile defense, and the Chinese have been given a pass on
  human rights with no apparent quid pro quos.

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765145 Date: 07/31/2015
  The White House argues that some progress has been made: Iran is on the defensive, and North Korea has said it will
  return to the six-party talks. Clinton argues, correctly, about the need for "strategic patience." But the only thing Obama
  really has to show for his efforts so far is a Nobel Prize for Potential and — no small thing — the wisdom to have
  refrained from doing anything so wildly stupid as invading Iraq. The President has been willing to use military force -
  the Predator drones that have decimated al-Qaeda's leadership testify to his lack of squeamishness — but this
  Administration is supposed to be about the efficacy of using subtler expressions of.U.S. power. That doesn't happen
  overnight, but for Obama's policies to be considered a success, it has to happen sooner or later, in a way that can be
  explained to the public.
  There is also a growing sense that the President's inexperience is beginning to show — not in his overall policy, which
  represents the views of a broad, moderate national-security consensus ranging from Brent Scowcroft to John Kerry, but
  in his execution of the details. The Afghan strategy review has been too public and taken too long; the Middle East peace
  hunt has become a wild goose chase. A letter to Iran's Supreme Leader is a productive gesture only if it gets a response;
  if it doesn't, it seems weak and supplicatory. A call for the Israelis to freeze settlements is effective only if it is
  accompanied by the credible threat of a reduction in aid. "You can't be seen pushing countries around — demanding
  [that] Israel freeze settlements, demanding that Hamid Karzai reform his government — and not get results," says Leslie
  H. Gelb, author of Power Rules. "The leaders of these countries are tough, successful politicians, and they'll begin to take
  you less seriously." (See photos from the 1979 revolution in Iran.)
  Clinton is unwilling to acknowledge these problems, and her staff is loath to admit her occasional mistakes. Her praise
  for the President is fulsome, and aides say the relationship with Obama really — really — is strong. But there are also
  burblings and emanations from Clinton's staff and friends, Foggy Bottom body language, that suggest there is a need for
  the Administration to produce a second act after the Rodney King phase. And the White House is perplexed by the
  uncharacteristic lack of discipline indicated by Clinton's occasional overseas gaffes.
  These tensions are well within the boundaries of normal, creative policymaking. There is absolutely no indication that
  the Secretary is frustrated to the point of jumping ship — or returning to politics as a candidate for governor of New
  York, as has been rumored. Quite the contrary, she seems intent on making history as Secretary of State. To do that,
  though, she will have to have the same authority at home as she has abroad. She will have to become the President's
  primary foreign policy voice. Over the first nine months of the Obama Administration, seven different Obama officials
  have spoken on the Sunday talk shows about foreign policy. Clinton has been on each of the Sunday shows once. "Either
  you have one person sending the foreign policy message, with the clear approval of the President," says a former
  Republican Secretary of State, "or there is no message."(See photos from eight months of Obama's diplomacy.)
  Aides to Obama say they would like to see her on the Sunday shows more often. (Indeed, Clinton's staff acknowledged
  that she was asked to appear two additional times but was traveling and unable to do so.) Ultimately, though, television
  is a metaphor for the larger questions that need to be resolved: How much can these former rivals — both extremely
  guarded and private people — really trust each other; and, if not Clinton, who will emerge as the President's alter ego
  on foreign policy? At this point, the strongest member of Obama's national-security team is Gates — but he's a
  Republican and an unlikely spokesman or presidential confidant on anything beyond Pentagon issues. General Jim Jones
  has settled in as National Security Adviser, but he's not a political animal — and every President needs a close foreign
  policy adviser who understands the intersection of long-term strategy, politics and diplomatic chess.
  Clinton's value to the Administration was clear in Pakistan. She wowed a public so skeptical that it had been questioning
  the $7.5 billion in purely economic and humanitarian aid the Administration had promised. "How much damage control
  have you been able to do on this trip?" asked Meher Bokhari, a television-news-show host, at the end of Clinton's
  meeting with Pakistani women. The Secretary seemed nonplussed by the bluntness of the question. "I don't know," she
  said. "I hope some."
  Afterward, I asked Bokhari to answer her own question. "Well, this trip was long overdue," she said. "The Pakistani
  people really needed to talk to an American about our concerns — the strings attached to aid programs, the drone
  attacks, their history of support for the military dictatorship. And it needs to be followed up. But if you ask me about the
  damage control" — she paused, thinking it through — "I'd have to say a lot. She accomplished a lot."

  In the end, though, Clinton's success will be determined by whether she can expand her role beyond public diplomat.
  She will have to become a more sure-handed negotiator and, most important, a trusted adviser to a President who
  knows where he wants to go in the world but hasn't quite figured out how to get there.

  Clinton set to smooth Obama's visit to China
  By Edward Luce in Washington and Geoff Dyer in Beijing
  Published: November 4 2009 02:00 I Last updated: November 4 2009 02:00
  Hillary Clinton is on course to raise the $61m in private money needed to build a US pavilion for a trade fair in Shanghai
  next year, clearing one of the main foreign policy obstacles ahead of Barack Obama's state visit to China next week.
  Mrs Clinton, whose first visit as secretary of state was to China, inherited a situation where the US was the only country
  other than Andorra that had failed to confirm its attendance at the Shanghai Expo - to the chagrin of the Chinese.
  America's absence from the fair, running from May to October, was the first issue to be raised by the Chinese when Mrs
  Clinton visited in February. 'The Chinese were very upset," says Elizabeth Baghley, who heads Mrs Clinton's office for
  global partnerships. "When she came back from China she said: Whatever it takes, this matters to China and to US
  business and we are going to get this done'."
  The task was more arduous than expected. Unlike all the other participants in what is expected to be the largest trade fair
  in history, the US administration is barred by federal law from spending a single public dollar on global trade fairs. Mrs
  Clinton, who has extensive experience at fundraising as a presidential and senatorial candidate, was also prevented from
  asking for money herself.
  The bureaucratic obstacles were made worse by the fact the Chinese had already tapped large US companies, such as
  Cisco and Coca-Cola, to spend money on their own corporate pavilions, which will face their national counterparts across
  the river around the fair in Shanghai. The situation was retrieved when three companies - Chevron, GE and PepsiCo -
  were persuaded to put up $5m (€3.4m, £3m) each. So far $46m has been pledged.

  UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765149 Date: 07/31/2015
  Mrs Clinton's emphasis on getting a US pavilion contrasted strongly with the attitude of the Bush administration. Some
  even referred disparagingly to the "Chi-comms" - an old-fashioned abbreviation for Chinese communists. "The state
  department basically saw it as a lost cause," says one state department official. "Some people laughed when they heard
  Hillary wanted to do this."
  Shanghai has huge hopes for the Expo, which it sees as a chance to cement the city's global brand as an international
  financial centre and modern metropolis. With an official budget of Rmb28.6bn ($4.2bn) and 70m expected visitors over the
  six months, the Expo has been marketed as the sort of coming-out party for Shanghai that last year's Olympics was for
  Beijing - and an event to rival the great 19th century world fairs in London, Paris and Chicago.
  Given such heady expectations for what will be the world's, largest fair, the absence of the US would have been
  considered a huge slight and a loss of face for the Chinese. Mindful of how much it mattered to the Chinese, Mrs Clinton
  saw it as an opportunity to build their trust. During strategic and economic talks with Chinese counterparts in Washington
  last summer, Mrs Clinton vowed she would get it done even if she had to "build it myself, brick by brick".
  Mrs Clinton was also backed by John Huntsman, the US ambassador to China and former governor of Utah, who
  repeatedly told Washington how much symbolic value it would bring to China.
  Mrs Clinton, who will be with the US president on his state visit next week, is expected to visit the site and may be in a
  position to announce that all the money has been raised.

  WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- If we are successful beyond President Obama's wildest dreams -- e.g., the
  Taliban is wiped out and a tough new Afghan government does not allow al-Qaida or other terrorists to conspire
  against us on their territory -- would that make us safer from radical Islam? The answer, of course, is no,
  because this is riot about geography. Two veteran intelligence operatives with much Middle Eastern and Afghan
  experience, speaking not for attribution, agreed a stable, secure Afghanistan doesn't change the equation, at least
  not significantly.
  The popular perception of al-Qaida in Afghanistan is the same propaganda news clip, shown a gazillion times
  over the last eight years, replete with terrorist "trainees" in shalwar-kameez (knee-length shirts over baggy
  pantaloons) running through obstacle courses and emerging from tunnels, presumably to kill us all in our beds.
  Al-Qaida doesn't need commando-steeled volunteers to attack the United States and its allies. For the next Sept.
  11, the chances are they have already selected highly motivated, brainwashed wackjobs among the graduates of
  Pakistan's madrassas, who look forward to a one button push to the land of plenty in the sky where 72 impatient
  maidens await their arrival. Al-Qaida's "martyrs" don't need Afghan training camps for WMD terrorism. In fact,
  to be inconspicuous, they should not have the physique of an avoid-at-all-cost likely to arouse suspicion.
  Al-Qaida does not need Afghanistan for its next terrorist objective. In fact, those who follow events in
  Afghanistan closely were taken aback when Obama said Afghanistan was a war of necessity because that's
  where al-Qaida. is. They haven't been there since Afghanistan was liberated in October 2001. They moved to
  Pakistan's tribal areas where they attracted volunteers from the Middle East and Europe. When a reconstituted
  Taliban insurgent force re-entered Afghanistan in large numbers in 2004, al-Qaida was not interested in its now
  insecure old training camps. Even if Pakistan's current offensive.against the Taliban and al-Qaida in the tribal
  areas is successful, al-Qaida is not an entity that can be captured or destroyed. Its clandestine operatives are
  widely scattered in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, North and South America.
  As alternatives to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Yemen, in the vernacular of the intelligence community, will do/is
  doing it. Somalia will do/is doing it. West African states whose writ doesn't extend much beyond their capitals
  will do/are doing it. Grimy North African suburbs of major French cities will do/are doing it. British provincial
  towns with Pakistani enclaves will do/are doing it. And the Internet's thousands of pro-al-Qaida Web sites will
  do/are doing it.
  Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri are believed to be comfortably installed in a tribal chiefs
  compound somewhere near Quetta, the capital of Pakistan's constantly rebellious Baluchistan province, which
  has 48 percent of the country's land with. only 10 million of its 175 million people. There is no al-Qaida central
  issuing orders to thousands of adherents the world over.
  If the:re is no connection between Afghanistan and the core problem of "no more Sept. lls," what are the United
  States and 41 friendly nations doing there? Even in the event of a Taliban victory in the years to come, the
  Taliban would not be stupid enough to invite al-Qaida back. Three months prior to Sept. 11, 2001, there was
  palpable tension between Taliban leader Mullah Omar and bin Laden. Omar complained that bin Laden was
  issuing "too many fatwas (religious edicts) which he has no business doing as he didn't complete his religious
  education." Omar also prevented journalists from seeing bin Laden. The Taliban leader knows he lost power
  and his country because of what bin Laden and his terrorists did to the United States.
  In today's Afghanistan almost everything turns out to be corruption and mismanagement. The average citizen
  has seen little benefit from expenditures in the $250 billion range -- on top of $1 trillion in Iraq. The .U.S. effort
  has been plagued by fraud, laced with mismanagement and bereft of strategic focus. One example among many
  others came in 2007 when the United States awarded a massive contract worth some $300 million to A:EY, a
  Florida-based company, to supply the Afghan army with 52 types of ammo, chiefly bullets for AK-47s. All
  requirements for safety inspections, mandatory for all ammo delivered to U.S. forces, were removed. Thus AEY
  was able to shop around in Eastern Europe for the cheapest ammo available. Millions of rounds of old Chinese
  ammo made in the 1960s turned out to be substandard. and dangerous.
  The State Department was aware of what was going on but did not object as speed was the only criterion. AEY
  and its officers were eventually indicted in Florida. But U.S. officials involved got off with a slap on the wrist.
  Wherever U.S. inspectors look, they find fraud and abuse. There are even cases -- reported by GlobalPost
  reporter Jean Mackenzie -- of American contractors paying bribes to the Taliban to ensure aid projects are not
  disrupted. This is a recipe for a war without end. She also reports a disguised Taliban office in Kabul that
  reviews all aid projects and determines the amount to be paid to the Taliban.
  If true, the United States is paying the Afghan government to fight the Taliban while also paying the Taliban to
  fight the Afghan government.
  The key lies in Pakistan. Almost all terrorist trails in Europe lead back to Pakistan -- and its madrassas. These
  are the free Koranic schools that have stepped into the vacuum of no education system for the poor as the
  military takes up 50 percent of government revenue. A fraction of what the United States has spent in Iraq and
  Afghanistan would go a long way to turning Pakistan around. Instead, Congress, in its infinite wisdom, after
  authorizing $1.2 trillion in both wars allocated $7.5 billion to Pakistan over five years -- with umpteen caveats.
  In a country of 175 million, a drop in the proverbial bucket.

  Report: Obama's national security team
  'incredibly weak'
  Wed, 11/04/2009 - 1:45pm
  Despite an expansion of the National Security Council staff, coordination of national security policy is still dysfunctional
  and there is a lack of strategic guidance from President Obama, according to a group of leading outside experts and
  former officials.
  "Reform must take place," said dames Lalher, President & CEO of the r!-olect on n; alone! Security Reform (PNSR), If
  you did not like what happened in the last 7 or 8 years... you're not going to like what's coming in the future."
  "Momentum for reform is building, but it is largely rhetoric and good intentions," reads PNSR's .new report . The
  congressionally funded group was begun as the result of a cooperative agreement between the Defense Department and
  the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. "Strategic management of the national security system remains absent
  and is desperately needed to make it integrated, cohesive, and agile," the report continues.
  Calling reform of the national security infrastructure "the number one national security issue," Locher said that America's
  ability to operate in international arenas the world over is "crippled" by the dysfunction within the system.
  He called the White House's national security staff "incredibly weak," preventing integration and coordination
  that the National Security Council should be doing.
  "There's almost no strategic guidance from the president or the executive office of the president," Locher said,
  adding, "We have almost no knowledge management in the national security system."
  There's also no effective means for delegating the president's authority, he added.
  Locher spoke a an event rolling out the latest PNSR report at the New American Foundation; hosted by its foreign policy
  chief and editor of V/gst1inc.Vgz? N.DtL:9 Steve Clemons.
  Clemons noted that according to the Goldwater-Nichols act, President Obama was required to submit a national security
  strategy by June 18, 150 days into his presidency, but he failed to do so.
  The "Guiding Coalition" that oversaw the PNSR report included heavyweights such as former Lockheed Martin CEO
  Norman Augustine, former Amb. Robert Blackwill, retired Gen. Wesley Clark, retired Adm. Ed Giambastiani, former
  House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell, plus Washington players Brent
  Scowcroft, Thomas Pickering, and Joseph Nye.
  Last November's version of the PNSR report included input from now Obama officials Jim Jones, James Steinberg,
  Michele Flournoy, and Dennis Blair. It declared that "the national security of the United States of America is
  fundamentally at risk."

  Re: Berlin speeches
  Below are my notes for speeches in Berlin. The themes I stress are these: the importance of Berlin and the
  Brandenburg Gate as symbols of freedom; the weight of history (always felt by Germans); the contribution of
  the US and the salience of the Western alliance; the meaning of 1989 to today and especially the continuity of
  the Western alliance; and segue from past to future.
  What I have not done here but might be added are references to Angela Merkel (a courageous woman from the
  east who embodies the highest values of the West); and specific policies. Those can be fitted in.
  So, some ideas and language:
  Twenty years ago the wall fell. Here, in Berlin, the moment when tens of thousands of citizens tore it down with
  hammers and picks and bare hands is called "Die Wende," a phrase that means more than simply a change but a
  turning point in history. It was not only a turning point for Germany and Europe but also for the United States
  because the wall—the reason for its construction and the reason for its destruction---is central to our common
  history—and to our common future.
  Richard von Weizsaecker said, "As long as the Brandenburg Gate is closed, the German question will remain
  open." Today I can say with finality, the German question is closed, because the Brandenburg Gate is wide
  open! The gate is open, Europe is open, and our future together is open.
  In the forty years from the Berlin airlift to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Atlantic partnership proved itself the
  most successful alliance for freedom in history. That alliance was, is and shall be the crowning achievement of
  American foreign policy. And the German – American relationship has always served as its foundation. Our

  alliance represents the reconciliation of former enemies, an inspiration to other peoples and continents
  devastated by war and hatred, and it must never be taken for granted.
  In the twenty years since the fall of the wall we have created architecture for an enduring peace. Instead of a
  wall we have built a gateway to the future. President Kennedy said in 1963 that in the future free men
  everywhere will say, "Ich bin ein Berliner." Today Berlin has gained a new and even more powerful meaning.
  Forever into the future, the opening of this Gate will be the symbol of the return of the dream of freedom, not
  only to Berlin and Germany, but to the entire world.
  The Gate, we must remember, was not built as a symbol of freedom. And each of the tyrannies that used the
  Gate as a symbol believed it represented their eternal power. The Gate was first erected as a symbol against the
  French Revolution; then it became a symbol of the imperial ambitions of Napoleon who marched his army
  through. It was a symbol of Prussian militarism and monarchy. It was seized by the Nazi Party as the symbol of
  its 1000 year rule. And then it became a symbol of the Communist totalitarianism that built a wall to separate
  the people of Berlin as though freedom could be contained in only one part of the city. Here, in Berlin, the Cold
  War was coldest.
  We celebrate the fact that the wall that marred this proud city was taken down by the world's most enthusiastic
  wrecking crew. The United States always believed in the freedom of Berlin because we believed in the future of
  freedom. The courageous citizens of East Germany, Poland and other nations of the Communist bloc
  demonstrated their dedication to free and peaceful solution of conflicts through their stand against dictatorship.
  America stood resolutely as an ally at every moment of this struggle and moved swiftly to help the peoples of
  Europe reunite after 1989.
  We celebrate the steadiness of purpose, the restraint and respect for ultimate goals that allowed the Cold War to
  end in peace. For how the victory was won was essential to the triumph. 1989 was special. It was that rarest of
  historical events: a revolution that did not descend into violence. As a result the Gate survives not as a
  cautionary monument to history's darkest moments but to its brightest. Today we celebrate the revolution of
  1989, the turning point that transformed the Brandenburg Gate into the symbol of the hope of democracy and
  the promise of freedom.
  Berliner Luft, the air of Berlin; has always been unique. I can feel and smell the spirit of freedom in your
  streets. The great American poet Carl Sandburg called Berlin the Chicago of Europe. Chicago is where I was
  born and raised. I can sense the same energy, openness and dedication to hard work in both great cities. Another
  Chicagoan, President Barack Obama, was drawn to Berlin last July, a city that he said made him feel like a
  citizen of the world and a citizen of the future.
  I was very proud to visit our new Embassy at the Brandenburg Gate, located exactly where the Wall used to
  run. Our presence here will forever underscore our determination that the spark of freedom from this city in
  1989 will help light the torches of freedom throughout the world.
  The revolution of 1989 did not mark the end of history. Having made history together, we are summoned to
  secure freedom for future generations. As vital at the beginning of the 21S' century as it was in the last half of
  the 20'1', the Western alliance is called to new tasks. The dreams of 1989 reached far—and have farther to
  reach. Old hatreds and conflicts—in the Balkins, the Caucauses, in the Middle East, East Asia, and Africa—still
  simmer. We have much to demonstrate what we have learned from the last century. Without freedom, without
  the rule of law, without the opportunity for people to support themselves and their families — without basic
  human rights-- anger, aggression and violence will prevail.
  Today we are faced with difficult and often dangerous conflicts arising not from conflicts between nations but
  within them, conflicts exploited by zealots who make the false claim that violence will purify the world and
  open the gates of heaven. Once zealots tried to use this Gate to symbolize that message. But through the

  The Berlin event is personally meaningful for me, not least because I was, in 1986, when I was a reporter for the

  wound up being the leaders of New Forum and overthrew the regime). Have fun at the AdIon (William Shirer's old haunts).

  Re: Berlin speeches
  Below are my notes for speeches in Berlin. The themes I stress are these: the importance of
  Berlin and the Brandenburg Gate as symbols of freedom; the weight of history (always felt by
  Germans); the contribution of the US and the salience of the Western alliance; the meaning of
  1989 to today and especially the continuity of the Western alliance; and segue from past to
  future.
  What I have not done here but might be added are references to Angela Merkel (a courageous
  woman from the east who embodies the highest values of the West); and specific policies. Those
  can be fitted in.
  So, some ideas and language:
  Twenty years ago the wall fell. Here, in Berlin, the moment when tens of thousands of citizens
  tore it down with hammers and picks and bare hands is called "Die Wende," a phrase that means
  more than simply a change but a turning point in history. It was not only a turning point for
  Germany and Europe but also for the United States because the wall—the reason for its
  construction and the reason for its destruction—is central to our common history—and to our
  common future.
  Richard von Weizsaecker said, "As long as the Brandenburg Gate is closed, the German question
  will remain open." Today I can say with finality, the German question is closed, because the
  Brandenburg Gate is wide open! The gate is open, Europe is open, and our future together is

  former enemies, an inspiration to other peoples and continents devastated by war and hatred,
  and it must never be taken for granted.
  In the twenty years since the fall of the wall we have created architecture for an enduring peace.
  Instead of a wall we have built a gateway to the future. President Kennedy said in 1963 that in
  the future free men everywhere will say, "Ich bin ein Berliner." Today Berlin has gained a new
  and even more powerful meaning. Forever into the future, the opening of this Gate will be the
  symbol of the return of the dream of freedom, not only to Berlin and Germany, but to the entire
  world.
  The Gate, we must remember, was not built as a symbol of freedom. And each of the tyrannies
  that used the Gate as a symbol believed it represented their eternal power. The Gate was first
  erected as a symbol against the French Revolution; then it became a symbol of the imperial
  ambitions of Napoleon who marched his army through. It was a symbol of Prussian militarism
  and monarchy. It was seized by the Nazi Party as the symbol of its 1000 year rule. And then it
  became a symbol of the Communist totalitarianism that built a wall to separate the people of
  Berlin as though freedom could be contained in only one part of the city. Here, in Berlin, the
  Cold War was coldest.
  We celebrate the fact that the wall that marred this proud city was taken down by the world's
  most enthusiastic wrecking crew. The United States always believed in the freedom of Berlin
  because we believed in the future of freedom. The courageous citizens of East Germany, Poland
  and other nations of the Communist bloc demonstrated their dedication to free and peaceful
  solution of conflicts through their stand against dictatorship. America stood resolutely as an ally
  at every moment of this struggle and moved swiftly to help the peoples of Europe reunite after
  1989.
  We celebrate the steadiness of purpose, the restraint and respect for ultimate goals that allowed
  the Cold War to end in peace. For how the victory was won was essential to the triumph. 1989
  was special. It was that rarest of historical events: a revolution that did not descend into
  violence. As a result the Gate survives not as a cautionary monument to history's darkest
  moments but to its brightest. Today we celebrate the revolution of 1989, the turning point that
  transformed the Brandenburg Gate into the symbol of the hope of democracy and the promise of
  freedom.
  Berliner Luft, the air of Berlin, has always been unique. I can feel and smell the spirit of freedom
  in your streets. The great American poet Carl Sandburg called Berlin the Chicago of Europe.
  Chicago is where I was born and raised. I can sense the same energy, openness and dedication to
  hard work in both great cities. Another Chicagoan, President Barack Obama, was drawn to
  Berlin last July, a city that he said made him feel like a citizen of the world and a citizen of the
  future.
  I was very proud to visit our new Embassy at the Brandenburg Gate, located exactly where the
  Wall used to run. Our presence here will forever underscore our determination that the spark of
  freedom from this city in 1989 will help light the torches of freedom throughout the world.

  The revolution of 1989 did not mark the end of history. Having made history together, we are
  summoned to secure freedom for future generations. As vital at the beginning of the 21st century
  as it was in the last half of the 20th, the Western alliance is called to new tasks. The dreams of
  1989 reached far—and have farther to reach. Old hatreds and conflicts—in the Balkins, the
  Caucauses, in the Middle East, East Asia, and Africa—still simmer. We have much to
  demonstrate what we have learned from the last century. Without freedom, without the rule of
  law, without the opportunity for people to support themselves and their families — without basic
  human rights-- anger, aggression and violence will prevail.
  Today we are faced with difficult and often dangerous conflicts arising not from conflicts
  between nations but within them, conflicts exploited by zealots who make the false claim that
  violence will purify the world and open the gates of heaven. Once zealots tried to use this Gate to
  symbolize that message. But through the courage and determination of the people of Berlin and
  their stalwart allies, this Gate now stands for a true revolution of the spirit. The long twilight
  struggle to tear down this wall to make Europe whole and free inspires us, in this new century, to
  help other peoples gain the same measure of security, respect and progress.
  We need Berlin more than ever today. We need your courage, your fortitude, your commitment
  to the rights of men—and women—we need your example. We are hardly at the end of the
  history of the West. Standing here, where a wall once stood but is no more, in the light from the
  Gate, we have learned from history's deepest lessons. Our alliance, linked by shared struggle,
  dedicated to the ideals of freedom and democracy, strong from the world we have built, now
  faces a new world of challenges. And we are ready to meet and conquer them. We know it has
  been done before. We are free men—and women—and proud to say, We are all Berliners.

  Re: Berlin speeches
  Below are my notes for speeches in Berlin. The themes I stress are these: the importance of Berlin and the Brandenburg
  Gate as symbols of freedom; the weight of history (always felt by Germans); the contribution of the US and the salience
  of the Western alliance; the meaning of 1989 to today and especially the continuity of the Western alliance; and segue
  from past to future.
  What I have not done here but might be added are references to Angela Merkel (a courageous woman from the east
  who embodies the highest values of the West); and specific policies. Those can be fitted in.
  So, some ideas and language:
  Twenty years ago the wall fell. Here, in Berlin, the moment when tens of thousands of citizens tore it down with
  hammers and picks and bare hands is called "Die Wende," a phrase that means more than simply a change but a turning
  point in history. It was not only a turning point for Germany and Europe but also for the United States because the
  wall—the reason for its construction and the reason for its destruction—is central to our common history—and to our
  common future.
  Richard von Weizsaecker said, "As long as the Brandenburg Gate is closed, the German question will remain open."
  Today I can say with finality, the German question is closed, because the Brandenburg Gate is wide open! The gate is
  open, Europe is open, and our future together is open.
  In the forty years from the Berlin airlift to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Atlantic partnership proved itself the most
  successful alliance for freedom in history. That alliance was, is and shall be the crowning achievement of American
  foreign policy. And the German – American relationship has always served as its foundation. Our alliance represents the
