Hillary was right about the Iran sanctions and the president just imposed them.

But that did not stop them from crapping all over her and calling her a war monger.

Hillary and Obama know what they are doing and talking about.

Posted in the HRC room.

1. Same as it ever was.

[hrmjustin]

3. Sad what they have done to the place.

[Lil Missy]

23. Yes it is a shame. It will be nicer after Super Tuesday when only Democrats can post here.

[lunamagica]

2. K&R. Hillary showed us again why she's the most qualified candiate running

for president, and why she should win.

[Thinkingabout]

4. The adults in the room, with Hillary who does not need a history lesson before

making decisions. Both Hillary and Obama know how the other thinks.

5. Bernie don't do foreign relations

6. I was just reading about that

Bernie’s ISIS Strategy Is A Disaster

Bernie Sanders’ comments about getting Iran and Saudi Arabia together to fix Syria is just another example of how little he understands foreign policy.

Sen. Bernie Sanders wants Iran and Saudi Arabia to send ground troops into Syria as part of a coalition of Muslim nations to fight ISIS, an idea he’s pressed multiple times as a strategy to fight Islamic extremism in the region.

It’s the Middle East policy equivalent of a COEXIST bumper sticker. Sanders’ proposal might sound promising to foreign policy lightweight—but those with expertise in the area know that the concept is deeply troubling.

“These comments indicate Sanders lack of serious engagement with foreign policy issues. While I appreciate his opposition to the Iraq War, perhaps if he was a little more engaged with that issue he would understand the problematic elements [of his proposal],” said Evan Barrett, a political adviser to the Coalition for a Democratic Syria, a Syrian-American opposition umbrella group.

7. Kick & highly recommended!

[shiriu]

8. Obama put sanctions on indivuals/entities, while Hillary wants to put sanctions on the entire Iran.

Hillary would undermine all the progress made by Obama.

[hrmjustin]

9. More bogus Sanders talking points.

Get over the fact you were wrong.


And this is the Hillary Clinton room shich is for supporters only.

[shiriu]

11. Here is the source.

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/266173-clinton-calls-for-new-sanctions-on-iran

“Iran is still violating UN Security Council resolutions with its ballistic missile program, which should be met with new sanctions designations and firm resolve,” she said.

You shouldn't condemn an entire population for the actions of a few.

[hrmjustin]

12. She did not specify the type of sanction. She made the point that more sanctions are needed.

Shs was right.

You are violating our safe haven by posting in this room. Please stop.

[Squinch]

14. She simply said "new sanctions." Which are now in place. Move along.

[William769]

16. Where do I even begin with this?

[leftofcool]

18. You have no idea what you are talking about!

[fleabiscuit]

22. Ignorance is something that can be corrected. eom

[Cha]

25. Nope, you're wrong.. Hillary isn't undermining anything that President Obama is doing.

Unlike others are trying to do.

[Squinch]

13. Given that she was one of the people who crafted the strategy there, this is not surprising.

I think if she said she liked Snickers bars, the BS contingent here would be suddenly certain that Snickers bars were the devil.

[shenmue]

20. Exactly

[George II]

15. I guess President Obama was INSIDE the bus that she supposedly threw him under!

[hoosierlib]

17. Old news...

Obama talked about doing this weeks ago...

[SunSeeker]

19. They crap on her no matter what she says.

It's what they do.

[Gothmog]

21. I was pleased to see President Obama announce these sanctions this morning

[Cha]

24. Exactly, Justin.. The sanctions for any nuke programs have been lifted.. BUT, and this is a BIG BUT

there are still Sanctions of Human Rights Abuses.

Everyone should know that.

Thank you!

[underthematrix]

26. Here are the sanctions that are still in place

https://twitter.com/TheIranDeal/status/688750248819208194

President Obama did mention earlier this week, based on reports, he would be sanctioning Iran for other issues but I don't recall the details

I think the issue with HRC's statement was that mentioning additional sanctions while celebrating the lifting of sanction related to the Iran Nuclear Deal was in poor taste.

But here's the thing. In the end, HRC has to do HRC.
