I recall many who claimed Hillary was way more of a war hawk...

1. Every day it was repeated on cue. Everywhere & especially, RIGHT HERE

Happy yet?

Apologies anyone?

C h.i.r.p.

[SHRED]

2. Many left here

They went to JPR and who knows where else.

I supported Bernie during the primaries.
My thought was he was less hawkish than her.

As soon as she won the primary I turned my head around (admittedly with the help of others) and got behind her as our candidate.
I was never going to support Dump and always saw him as a clear and present danger.

I did venture over to JPR and was horrified with what I saw.

3. The DU constantly had thread bashing HRC and that was one of the main

subjects. I also remember that many said they were voting 3rd party or not at all.

How is that working out for you who claimed harsh talking points from "fake news" and Russia.

4. They will never apologize, never even walk it back

But we've got to reach out to them so they will deign to vote Democratic.

5. This post was written by a 14 yr old boy who just got his first erection.

Dear god he is a child


HRC may well have done something similar, but the world would know her reasons were serious and not to distract from being a traitor, like rump

7. So the primary reason to have a military force is to give Dear Leader

an opportunity to flaunt it's bloated budget and make other countries envious of its ostentatious proportions?

Counting the days until Trump shows up in his new bespoke military costume, resplendent with gold braid, piping and bullion trims, with a satin sash stretched over his paunch. He design the outfit himself, so I'd be disappointed not to see him all beribboned and bedecked with ornate medals and lots of flashy bejeweled bling and flair, commemorative pins, patches and buttons.

8. And I would bet that had she ordered the same strikes, you would be falling over yourself

to say how strong she was. Just like when Obama did the same thing.

Wrong is wrong. D or R, doesn't matter when the missiles are flying.

9. You'd lose that bet.

10. When we get some distance from the current shitshow,

historians can sort out HRC's attitude to military strikes vs. DT's attitude. (Hint: DT's inconsistent, all over the place, ranting.)

During HRC's time in government, I recall that she was allied with those who called for regime change in Syria as a national foreign policy goal, which, to me, is the Original Sin of U.S. Syria policy.

Whatever, I sure wish HRC was president today.

11. Ran across an early reference to Regime Change in Syria, from Bolton.

From Vox, [link:https://www.vox.com/world/2018/4/16/17242296/us-bombing-syria-trump-bolton|

“[Syria] is increasingly an Iranian satellite under Tehran’s growing regional influence,” Bolton wrote in a 2012 National Review article, near the beginning of the civil war. “Accordingly, regime change in Syria is prima facie in America’s interest.”

Bolton uses "prima facie" from law here. It means "based on the first impression; accepted as correct until proved otherwise."

12. Other 2012 reference to Regime Change in Syria:

From think-tank Brookings:
[link:http://www.brookings.edu/research/saving-syria-assessing-options-for-regime-change/|

These are neo-cons, well-known for encouraging the U.S. to intervene in the Middle East, usually in a way that would benefit Israel.

Did Clinton herself support regime change in Iraq? The Google record is unclear, except an article in Foreign Policy magazine that said: "Syria: In 2012, she [Clinton] reportedly proposed to the White House — along with CIA Director David Petraeus — a covert program (apparently larger than the one later authorized) to provide arms to vetted Syrian rebel groups fighting Bashar al-Assad’s government. " [Obama vetoed it.]

This is not definitive proof. She was nowhere near as warlike as Bolton.

13. Yes, I saw it right here.
