I’m guessing there was some arm-twisting like “You better back Syria or we’ll release those Benghazi documents” behind the scenes.

Via The Hill:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the first time Monday publicly voiced her support for President Obama’s proposed strike against Syria.

Clinton said she met with the president earlier in the day, and in her speech at a Wildlife Trafficking Forum used terms the White House has been using in its attempt to galvanize support for a military strike.

Clinton said that Syrian President Bashar Assad has “violated a norm at the heart of our global order,” and argued that his actions “demand a response.”

“The international community cannot ignore the ongoing threat from the Assad regime’s stockpile of chemical weapons,” Clinton said. “This is about protecting the Syrian people and our friends in the region.”
