In reply to the discussion: Five Reasons No Progressive Should Support Hillary Clinton [View all]Persondem
(1,936 posts)The drone defense claim harks back to a specific time when Clinton defended the drone program after it was criticized after a senior leader in Al Qaida was killed by a drone.
So by attacking Clinton on this YOU and the authors of the article are saying that we should let AQ leaders walk away when we have them in our sights. I am not sure the 3000 people who died on 9-11 and their families would be so gracious. Yep, in this specific case, YOU are defending terrorists. You really should read what you link to.
Also, the Afghan surge worked and allowed the US to scale back it's troop presence.
In Libya the US helped get rid of a brutal dictator and gave the Libyan people a chance at self determination. All without the loss of a single American life.
The sanctions on Iran got them to negotiate and gave the US and it's allies a trump card to play in the negotiations. You criticize her for being a hawk AND complain when she uses non-military means to resolve a serious conflict. Pure hypocrisy.
So I have checked out just section 1 and found it to be mostly slanted BS.
I might a go at the other sections tomorrow.
