A question:

[jazzimov]

Why do so many people consider Hillary a "hawk"? Is it all about her vote for the AUMF, for which she's already apologized?

[Press Virginia]

1. She pushed Obama on Libya too

[jazzimov]

8. When? I haven't heard about this.

Do you have a link?

[Ash_F]

11. Here

Long story short:

Multinational oil and banking institutions wanted control of Libya's resources.

Libya would not play ball on this.

Bombing ensued.

Politicians thought it would be easy.

They were wrong.

Now the country is in ruins

So Iraq basically.

[jazzimov]

17. Thanks! But do you have

anything based on fact and not opinion?

[Ash_F]

19. Don't be juvenile

The Times researched the story extensively and is in fact quite merciful to Clinton in the narrative(look at who owns it). Other organizations have been much more critical.

[catnhatnh]

22. So you don't have a question

Just a fucking attitude. You are behaving like a jerk.

[onecaliberal]

2. It's her thirst for intervention everywhere. Her foundation makes money from

Selling arms. Her foreign policy is intervention not peace.

[99th_Monkey]

6. Accurate concise answer. nt

[jazzimov]

9. Do you have any proof that her Foundation

has sold any arms?

Or that her foreign policy is intervention?

Link?

18. very nice, thats how you shut up a hill shill:)

[jazzimov]

21. Thanks, but that link just has another link to the IBT

which says that the donations were made before Hillary was SoS, and that the deals made were brokered by the Pentagon and Hillary's job was only to vet the sales.

[Ash_F]

24. Don't be juvenile

We know what happened and you do to.

[egalitegirl]

3. She is with the warmongers

She is part of the Military Industrial Complex. Her husband took the country to war against Yugoslavia and Madeleine Albright approved the deaths of 500,000 children in Iraq saying the price was worth it.

[baldguy]

4. It's part of the GOPs campaign to blame W's failures on Democrats.

There are some that will swallow any criticism of Clinton whole without trying to find out where it's been.

[SFnomad]

5. +1

[Henhouse]

10. K&R

[NurseJackie]

14. Excellent post.

[chknltl]

7. Her adviser Kissenger is no dove. nt

[Vattel]

13. She didn't merely vote for the IWR. She supported the invasion.

On the floor of the Senate, she foolishly pushed all of Bush's bullshit talking points. On the eve of the war, she did not speak out against Bush's illegal ultimatum to Hussein. She implicitly endorsed it.

She pushed Obama for an even bigger troop increase in Afghanistan than he ultimately authorized.

She pushed Obama to pursue violent regime change in Libya.

She refused to recognize that Israel's bombing of Gaza was disproportionate.

She voted against legislation to ban cluster bombs.

She has rattled her sabre towards Iran for years.

She sees Kissinger as a friend.

She supports a no fly zone in Syria and is apparently willing to thereby risk military engagement with Russia.

She supported violent regime change in Syria, urging Obama to arm Syrian rebels.

Etc.

[vintx]

15. Thank you for spelling it all out.

It disturbs me that democratic voters don't already know this but the fact that they don't explains a lot.

[Vattel]

16. You are welcome.

Most voters are unaware of such facts, but also Clinton and her campaign have distorted her record. They have also distorted Bernie's record in an attempt to make him seem just as hawkish as her.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

20. Apologized? For what? Her cold blooded vote to have people killed?

Was it in the form of, "I'm sorry for being bamboozled by Bush."?

Or was it, "I'm sorry for letting my political ambitions get in the way of my humanity."?

Or was it, "We came, we saw, he died."?

[NurseJackie]

23. Poke-poke! (Have fun!)

I've seen this episode before, it's a rerun ... but it's always good for a laugh or two.

[SMC22307]

25. Only in Camp Weathervane would the Iraq War be "good for a laugh or two."

Disgusting.

[NurseJackie]

27. Ha!! :-D (You guys never fail crack me up!)

Bzzz bzz. BZZZ-BZZZZZZT!

[SMC22307]

28. You and your arsenal of idiotic .gifs...

can't swat away the thousands of war dead, maimed, displaced, etc.

Hillary's vote is on her, not Republicans trying to make Democrats look bad. She either believed in the invasion, or was duped by W.

OWN IT.

[NurseJackie]

30. Bzzzzt!

[SMC22307]

31. Ditto with your arsenal of idiotic smilies.

What else ya got?

[ViseGrip]

26. The Clinton Foundation has lots of pay to play with arms sales, and Bill

did one illegally when he sold 500K worth of ARMS while Hillary was at 'STATE', a big fucking no no, conflict of interest that surely Bill was aware of. Did he give the money up? If this were you or I, we would be charged accordingly. I'm so sick of them all over again, the Clintons.

[Vote2016]

29. No, she won that title based on a vast body of work.
