Hillary Clinton: "The United States will never do anything to undermine Israel's security"

Elsewhere, RW bloggers are tearing their shirts over something a low-level State Department functionary said about settlements. As a tonic, see this video of Hillary Clinton's joint press conference with Avigdor Leiberman at the State Department in which the Secretary of State says this, plainly and directly: "The United States will never do anything to undermine Israel's security."

The first question (about @5:00) deals with settlements. Lieberman's answer is direct. Hillary's is less so, which is telling. After saying, in Obama's name, that the US wants settlements to "stop" she gives a long, windy answer about all the qualifications, and complexities and difficulties that apply. At the end of her answer, she says it has been confirmed that the claims made by Israel about "oral" agreements between Israel and the Bushies are false and/or not binding.
