Criticism of US President Barack Obama’s apology for the burning of Qurans in Afghanistan is not helpful, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a wide-ranging interview with CNN on Sunday.
“I find it somewhat troubling that our politics would enflame such a dangerous situation in Afghanistan,” Clinton said of the complaints by Republican presidential candidates and some experts about Obama’s apology.
“It was the right thing to do to have our president on record as saying this was not intentional, we deeply regret it,” Clinton said. Clinton also said diplomatic efforts were under way to peel away support from Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad. “We have a lot of contacts, as do other countries – a lot of sources within the Syrian government and the business community and minority communities – and our message is the same to all of them, ‘You cannot continue to support this illegitimate regime because it is going to fall’,” she said. But she said the Syrian National Council was not yet the kind of united opposition movement that toppled Moammar Gaddafi with international help in Libya last year. The Libyan opposition base in the city of Beghazi gave the international community “an address” to deal with. “We don’t have that in Syria,” she said. “The Syrian National Council is doing the best it can but obviously it is not yet a united opposition.
