Hillary Clinton: ‘I’m Trying to Increase the Number of Visas’ for I...

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told BBC Persia Wednesday that the State Department plans to set up a “virtual embassy” in Tehran by the end of the year to answer questions about how Iranians can study or travel in the United States.

“I’m trying to increase the number of visas for students so that we have more Iranian students coming to study here. We’re trying to reach out to the Iranian people, and we’ve tried to reach out to the government, just not very successfully,” she said in an interview with BBC Persia’s Bahman Kalbasi.

Clinton said the U.S. wants to have “better relations” with the Iranian people and also with an Iranian government “that is responsive to its own people” and give more than lip-service to democracy.

Clinton said it is one of her "highest priorities" to help the Iranian people overcome the regime's efforts to jam, filter and block Internet and satellite TV communications in Iran.

“We’re doing a lot of work to try to come up with technologies that can circumvent the jamming and the interruptions and the tracking that the regime are engaged in right now. We are providing technology, some of which is more effective than others. We are certainly training people, both outside and inside, to be able to use the technology to circumvent,” she said.

"I’ve spoken out repeatedly about the right of people to have access to the Internet. It is freedom of speech and expression and assembly, values that we think every human being is entitled to,” Clinton added.

Clinton said U.S. efforts to break through the regime's "electronic curtain" are sometimes successful, but only until Iran's leaders catch up with the technology. "But I want to assure your viewers that we are committed to doing everything we can to provide as much communication freedom inside and outside of Iran to people trying to speak out for their rights as possible."

As part of the interview, Clinton fielded questions from viewers across the Persian-speaking world. Asked why the U.S. did not take a more active role in Iran's abortive pro-democracy Green Movement in 2009, Clinton said the Obama administration was "torn."

The United States did not want to make it look like the anti-regime protests in Iran were being directed or influenced by the United States.

"I will tell you it was a very tough time for us, because we wanted to be full-hearted in favor of what was going on inside Iran, and we kept being cautioned that we would put people’s lives in danger, we would discredit the movement, we would undermine their aspirations,” she said.

“I think if something were to happen again, it would be smart for the Green Movement or some other movement inside Iran to say, 'We want the voices of the world. We want the support of the world behind us.' That’s what the Libyan opposition figures did, as you remember," Clinton added.

Clinton said the U.S. does not advocate violence. "But we do hope there can be a reform movement (in Iran) that has enough power, like we saw in Egypt or in Tunisia, where they had a peaceful revolution, by and large," she said.

 

I've NEVER heard a more ignorant politician than Hillary, be so unabashedly wrong about the nation of IRAN.

Did she have her head in the sand the entire time we were losing our precious sons and daughters in Afghanistan and Iraq? Did she observe the "arab spring" through some kind of diabolical "virtual" looking glass that only SHE can interpret??

And some on the left think she would have made an excellent president!

The distance that has grown between philosophies within our own political system is astounding and astonishing.

The LAST thing we want for our nation is more potential bombers/murders/terrorists inside our borders by invitation.

The foreign policy of Obama/Hillary has produced a future Islamic terrorist disaster that will come ashore in the United States shortly.

Obama the Muslim commie needs all the reinforcements (his army) to take over the country and make it a calaphate. More and more Muslims are being brought in so they can take us over. Hillary wants to help her buddy.

Adrianne, you are so right.  There's nothing dumb about Hillary.  This woman is evil to the core.  Do some research on her years as first lady (and I don't relate that word to her at all).  I have read several books written by Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, USAF (Ret.) about the Clinton years.  Patterson was one of the military assigned to "carry the football" during this administration.  Anyone who thinks Hillary is great needs their heads examined!

You think she might be a member of SCOMM?  (Socialist Cult of Mass Murder?)

Adrianne, I believe you nailed it!

It's just you.  She's dumb like a fox.

 

It is a mortal strategic error to attributre what the global oligarchy, comprised of both parties do, to incompetence.

 

It is deliberate, well planned and at the precipice of success.

 

No. Do not make the mistake she is dumb.  She is evil, she is a sociopath, she is greedy, corrupt and criminal ... the prototypical criminal mind in action.

 

Would you call Hitler dumb?  No.  We have a bunch of sociopathic Machiavellis posing as the legit US gov't.

 

They are traitors, not fools.
