Hillary "I Still Support A NO FLY ZONE Over Syria!"

Really...? And Madam Secretary what nation's planes might American pilots be charged with enforcing your No Fly Zone Against?

Answer... RUSSIA!

Bernie Sanders called Hillary out on her numerous instances when in positions of leadership that her judgement was inadequate... Iraq War, Libya... Regime Change... Could have added Honduras Coup ( I would have!)...


NO FLY ZONE OVER SYRIA?
One more sordid example of wrong headed judgement on the part of Hillary Clinton!

As Bernie has duly noted... She does not consider the consequences of her decisions especially ones of significant magnitude such as the potential for a shooting confrontation with a Super Power such as RUSSIA.

That when asked about Israel overreacting to Palestinian attacks, she sounded just like she did about Superpredators. She said Israel most definitely has the right to defend themselves against constant bombing from terrorists (of course the fact that people are almost never injured or killed in those bombings means nothing to her). She sounded just like when she advocated for the crime bill...no consideration for Israel's provocation of those attacks. She said Israel walked out of Gaza and left them alone and they should have prospered...but instead Hamas came in and started attacking Israel.

How were Palestinians in Gaza supposed to prosper? IRRC, they didn't leave them land and resources to produce their own food, and they barricaded them in...leaving them isolated, starving and living in the rubble of what where their homes. And they now have a 40% unemployment rate.

WTF is wrong with her? This is just like her stance on the crime bill, that instead of helping the kids in poverty, she wanted to round them all up and bring them to heel.

She has not changed. This is just who she is. She is and always will be a war hawk and authoritarian judge who has to have control all the time, and be tough on the bad guys...no introspection. She doesn't learn from her past mistakes. Gaaahhh!

It is easy to be ALL IN for War... Especially... When there is MONEY to be made.... Especially... When YOU are not the one being shot at! However,the potential with Hillary making a MISCALCULATION IS HIGH! No more clear is that than she STILL IS ALL IN FOR THE FOLLY OF A ... FUCKING NO FLY ZONE OVER SYRIA! SO WE MIGHT AS WELL INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF A SHOOTING CONFRONTATION WITH RUSSIA?

SHE WOULD ASSUREDLY HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE TO THE WORLD JUST HOW TOUGH SHE IS BY ATTEMPTING TO STAND DOWN PUTIN AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY! WHAT ELSE IS A NO FLY ZONE AGAINST RUSSIAN PILOTS GOOD FOR?

Hillary as Bernie, myself and others have stated clearly... does not possess the JUDGEMENT to be "Commander in Chief!"

I am truly CONCERNED about where Hillary as the one person ... calling the shots with our military could very well take US and the REST OF THE WORLD! Beyond that... It will be a cold day in Hell ... WHEN SHE PROVIDES A ... STRAIGHT FORWARD ANSWER TO ANYTHING.... The "Queen of OBFUSCATION" is NOT what WE The People Need in A President... AND... "Commander in Chief..."

on the ground have changed since 2011 when she 1st wanted a no-fly zone. Yet she still wants to put 1 in effect. Excuse me Madam Secretary but Russia is firmly entrenched with their air-power in Syria now. She does not seem to realize that Russia has changed the equation of a no fly-zone. Not that it was ever a good idea.

More bad judgement from her.

Guess who agrees with HRC on this? Ted Cruz.
Glad to see her and Cruz are on the same page, two peas in a pod.

Who does not agree? PBO, Pentagon, military analyst and Sanders.

As you say, there are Russian planes involved and we would be sending our planes up there to prevent their planes from flying around and killing people. Does not sound good to me. This kind of suggestion is not something that should come from a former secretary of state.
