The Daily Beast: Hillary's State Department Refused to Brand Boko Haram as Terrorists

The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hampered the American government’s ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls.

In the past week, Clinton, who made protecting women and girls a key pillar of her tenure at the State Department, has been a vocal advocate for the 200 Nigerian girls kidnapped by Boko Haram, the loosely organized group of militants terrorizing northern Nigeria. Her May 4 tweet about the girls, using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, was cited across the media and widely credited for raising awareness of their plight.

What Clinton didn’t mention was that her own State Department refused to place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011, after the group bombed the U.N. headquarters in Abuja. [Emphasis added] The refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen senators and congressmen.

Uh ... oops??

This makes Hillary's posturing the last few days over the kidnapped girls an example of her great hypocrisy and that of the social/Marxist Democrats. She sent out a tweet May 4 that, in light of her refusal to label Boko Haram a terrorist organization when she had a chance to do so, should absolutely disqualify her from consideration in 2016:

reason to target innocent girls. We must stand up to
terrorism. #BringBackOurGirls

Lord, please save us from another eight years of Clintons and a further drift into that purgatory called "Socialism".
