Hillary Clinton and the Syrian Bloodbath

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-sachs/hillary-clinton-and-the-s_b_9231190.html



"This is the kind of compulsive misrepresentation that makes Clinton unfit to be President. Clinton's role in Syria has been to help instigate and prolong the Syrian bloodbath, not to bring it to a close.

In 2012, Clinton was the obstacle, not the solution, to a ceasefire being negotiated by UN Special Envoy Kofi Annan. It was US intransigence - Clinton's intransigence - that led to the failure of Annan's peace efforts in the spring of 2012, a point well known among diplomats. Despite Clinton's insinuation in the Milwaukee debate, there was (of course) no 2012 ceasefire, only escalating carnage. Clinton bears heavy responsibility for that carnage, which has by now displaced more than 10 million Syrians and left more than 250,000 dead. "

Email from Blumenthal to HRC, Concerning Toppling Assad
Everyone is probably well aware that HRC accepted continual emails from Sidney Blumenthal, an employee of the Clinton Foundation with business interests in Libya, all the while she was SOS.

This is from one of the emails he sent her, in which he forwards or mentions a viewpoint concerning the consequences of toppling the Assad regime in Syria. HRC valued this email enough to seemingly forward it to Jake Sullivan:




7. One particular source states that the British and French Intelligence services believe that their Israeli

counterparts are convinced that there is a positive side to the civil war in Syria; if the Assad regime topples, Iran

would lose its only ally in the Middle East and would be isolated. At the same time, the fall of the House of

Assad could well ignite a sectarian war between the Shiites and the majority Sunnis of the region drawing in
Iran, which, in the view of Israeli commaders would not be a bad thing for Israel and its Western allies. In the

opinion of this individual, such a scenario would distract and might obstruct Iran from its nuclear activities for a

good deal of time. In addition, certain senior Israeli intelligence analysts believe that this turn of events may

even prove to be a factor in the eventual fall of the current government of Iran.

Hillary laughs about the prospect of bombing Iran (is this the appropriate affect for a government official?)

Hillary laughing about Qaddafi's death; unacceptable affect for gov't official

1. June 16th can't get here soon enough n/t

[frylock]

33. lalalalalalalalalala

[arikara]

2. Oh god that is seriously disturbing

I'd not seen the top one before. I have to stop watching her videos, it makes me sick to my stomach. She takes more glee in the thought of bloodshed than any politician I've ever seen.

[oasis]

11. Very soon you won't have to be subjected to anymore of this

so stay strong.

[arikara]

15. Covering it up

won't change who and what she is. I won't be hanging around for any Hillary Clinton love fest I can assure you.

[frylock]

34. None of that ever happened after your magical date arrives.

[oasis]

42. Ahhhhhh the wonderfullness of it all.

[amborin]

44. that's your response to needless bloodshed in the Middle East?! Unbelievable

[oasis]

45. Don't be silly. It was a reply to #34 "magical date".

So that throws it back into the realm of something we all can believe in and anxiously await.

[CentralMass]

3. It really is disturbing. It is clear that she has an agenda and obsession with meddling in the

Middle east that is bordering on manical.

[Herman4747]

30. Supreme Court Justice Kagan???

Normally those guys maintain a lower profile.

[SamKnause]

5. K&R

Thank you for posting.

I am familiar with the second video, but I missed

the first video.

She is truly frightening.

Who is the gentleman in the first video ???

He refers to Hillary as a Republican, as if that is a compliment.

[Ned_Devine]

7. I think it's James Baker

[pangaia]

26. It is Baker.

One of the biggest monsters who ever roamed the planet on two legs.

[Ned_Devine]

6. That top video is just so disturbing

This is the person they want as the nominee for the democratic party? You've got to be fucking kidding me

[BootinUp]

13. You can't tell that she isn't in agreement with Baker? nt

[pangaia]

27. No. They are NOT kidding.

disgusting.. both of them.. two peas in a pod..

[amborin]

35. they are definitely not kidding

[bjo59]

8. Yep. She always seems quite delighted by this sort of thing.

It's pretty mind blowing that such a large percentage of Democrats have no problem voting for a person who loves smashing other countries so much.

[Waiting For Everyman]

9. She thinks bombing Iran is so funny.

Wow. I don't want her having the nuclear football either.

[BootinUp]

12. She was laughing because she disagrees with Baker. Doh. nt

[Waiting For Everyman]

14. I didn't get disagreeing from that.

This was an enlightening part of it...

"And then frankly there are those who are saying, the best thing that could happen to us is be attacked by somebody. (laugh) Just bring it on, because that would unify us, it would legitimize the regime". (1:18)

[BootinUp]

18. She is talking about what Iran was saying. Double Doh..nt

[Waiting For Everyman]

20. Listening to it again, on that I do agree with you. nt

[BootinUp]

21. Please note the video has been cut so you don't even hear the question.

People are attempting to spread propaganda.

[Herman4747]

29. Like Hillary, John McCain also thought it was funny! nt

[cheapdate]

10. Sure. The Syrian Civil War was Clinton's fault.

[AzDar]

16. Disgusting.

[Marr]

17. There's something wrong with her.

She's some kind of sociopath.

[BootinUp]

19. I love the way the lefties cut videos down to where you don't

even hear the question they are responding to in an attempt to distort the whole thing.

[Cheese Sandwich]

22. Hillary threatens first strike "nuclear option" against Iran, did she misspeak?

A totally bizarre incident that went nearly unreported in the media:

Mrs. Clinton used the forum to continue staking out a harder line on Iran than President Obama has in public. She repeatedly threatened to take what she called “harsh” steps at the first sign that Iran seeks to violate commitments it made in the July nuclear agreement, which sharply limits its ability to possess or produce nuclear fuel for the next 15 years.

She said there should be “no doubt in Tehran” that if the United States saw “any violations in the deal” or an effort to procure or develop nuclear weapons technology, “we will stop them,” including, she added, “taking military action.”

At one point, responding to a question, she referred to using the “nuclear option” against Iran — usually interpreted as using a nuclear weapon — before her attention was caught by a prominent member of the audience, Justice Stephen G. Breyer of the Supreme Court.

“Oh, the military option, thank you, Justice Breyer. He’s a careful listener,” Mrs. Clinton said, reiterating that she meant a military option to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. It was a rare moment: a sitting member of the court rescuing a political candidate from a mistaken comment.

23. Don't forget her good buddy Kissinger.

[Scuba]

24. Bernie's judgement over Hillary's experience is an easy call for me.

[Tarc]

25. The deaths in Syria ar squarely on Assad's head, no one else

Khaddfi's removal is something I'll always celebrate.

Iran continues to be a regional belligerent, and should be dealt with accordingly.

I and many others do not find fault with these foreign policy decisions.

[MisterP]

28. now, now, she took the voice of some cronies over her own ambassador on Honduras, too

[amborin]

36. this is by all means only a partial list of her misdeeds; also Colombia, where she sided with a

brutal regime over union organizers

[MisterP]

39. Plan Merida, too!

43. should be a separate OP!

[Herman4747]

31. To me, this is particularly noteworthy:

In 2012, Clinton was the obstacle, not the solution, to a ceasefire being negotiated by UN Special Envoy Kofi Annan. [Nobel Peace Prize Winner Kofi Anan] It was US intransigence - Clinton's intransigence - that led to the failure of Annan's peace efforts in the spring of 2012, a point well known among diplomats. Despite Clinton's insinuation in the Milwaukee debate, there was (of course) no 2012 ceasefire, only escalating carnage. Clinton bears heavy responsibility for that carnage, which has by now displaced more than 10 million Syrians and left more than 250,000 dead. "
