Mitchell: Hillary Clinton Will Have to Answer for Failed Foreign Policy

‘Hillary Clinton, as well as anybody else who held office in national security field … has to answer for a lot of the things that went wrong’

WILLIAMS: “I have to say, though, Andrea, about midway through this list, calling on countries to stop their citizens from making contributions to terrorist organizations, calling on people related to the Internet to not give up web space to organizations like this, would that the world [worked] so [crosstalk] thoroughly and methodically step by step, measure to measure, going through things like this, but that’s not the case?”

MITCHELL: “Well, in fact, the Clinton State Department has been blamed along with the George W. Bush State Department and the current State Department for not being able to counteract the propaganda of ISIS. I mean, these terror groups have been so much more efficient and proactive and creative than any U.S. government agency to get around the Internet barriers and to find this end-to-end encryption and you know, telegram was shut down yesterday, but other sites were available. They have just outsmarted us at every — at every turn. And just this latest propaganda video of Times Square, it’s scary, and it’s playing into the anti-refugee propaganda domestically as well, the political propaganda, but it works. And it — they use us as well, all of us. I say collectively, the mass media that perpetuates this stuff. So, whether or not there’s a real threat and we can’t rule it out because the intelligence agencies have proved that they have not been able to figure out how to break the code on these communications, they’ve missed a lot of things. The U.S. did have some of these people on watch lists, but, again, the French and the Belgians missed opportunities to grab them before the Paris attack. Look, it’s not a perfect science. And Hillary Clinton, as well as anybody else who held office in the national security field, Democratic, or as well as Republican over the last decade or more since 9/11, has to answer for a lot of the things that have gone wrong, as well as the things that have gone right.”
