Last week, Hillary Clinton gave a speech to the American Jewish Committee.

It was an incredible speech.

Incredibly full of pandering platitudes, clichés, and confusing/contradictory sentences.

Highlights…er…low points of the speech, via Times of Israel: Hillary Clinton talks tough on Iran at Jewish conference

(with commentary by yours truly)

….Clinton, in a plenary address at the American Jewish Committee’s Global Forum, took credit for setting up a tough sanctions regime on Tehran and laying the groundwork for the current negotiations over a comprehensive nuclear agreement.

“When I left, we were in a position to really explore if we had set the table well enough,” Clinton said, recounting the work done between 2008 and 2012 in strengthening the sanctions regime, “revitalizing” the partnership with the other P5+1 powers — Russia, China, the UK, France and Germany — and “establishing bilateral connections.”

Ohh…You ‘set the table’ ? Nice feminine touch (not).

But wait, you’re not sure if you ‘set the table’ well enough?

She offered a bleak assessment of Iran’s recent track record and urged US negotiators to take a firm stance at talks, which have been taking place this week in Geneva….

She emphasized that the US and its allies “have to be tough, clear-eyed and ready to walk away and increase the pressure if need be” and stressed that “no deal is better than a bad deal.”

Ohh! Another nice touch: channeling Bibi Netahyahu’s “This is a bad deal.”

….Clinton said that she was personally “skeptical that the Iranians will follow though and deliver” a satisfactory solution, but said that despite her apprehensions, the current talks are “a promising development, and we need to test it to see what can be achieved.”

So, let’s get this straight: Hillary is proud of her work in placing tough sanctions on Iran.

And, she personally believes the Iranians are not to be trusted to give up their nuclear plans.

Especially now that her former boss, Barack Hussein Obama, has removed the major sanctions from Iran, so that they no longer have any incentive to disarm.

But still, says Hillary, we need to give peas a chance peace a chance.

Um…Ok…

….Describing the recent Hamas-Fatah reconciliation as “troubling,” Clinton said that the Islamist rulers of the Gaza Strip “must reject violence, honor previous agreements and accept Israel’s right to exist.”

Thank you, Professor Obvious.

And, one more thing about Hillary’s speech:

As reported in the Washington Free Beacon, it was also incredibly…boring!
