What we are witnessing now, tho, is republicans lining up for H.

(1,442 posts)"Fifth, we need a real plan for confronting terrorists. As we saw six months ago in San Bernardino, the threat is real and urgent. Over the past year, Ive laid out my plans for defeating ISIS.
We need to take out their strongholds in Iraq and Syria by intensifying the air campaign and stepping up our support for Arab and Kurdish forces on the ground."
Now she's throwing Obama under the bus? 'we need a real plan for confronting terrorists'? Obama doesn't have a real plan being acted upon currently?
"And one more thing. A President has a sacred responsibility to send our troops into battle only if we absolutely must, and only with a clear and well-thought-out strategy. Our troops give their all. They deserve a commander-in-chief who knows that."
Where does Libya fall into the category of 'well thought out'?

(13,685 posts)Her words are absolutely disgusting. I have always said she was a warmonger, she proved me right again.
And yes, she threw Obama under the Peace bus. That should win her a dozen republican votes.
John Poet

HumanityExperiment
(1,442 posts)Here are some excerpts from her speech today:
"And if America doesnt lead, we leave a vacuum and that will either cause chaos, or other countries will rush in to fill the void. Then theyll be the ones making the decisions about your lives and jobs and safety and trust me, the choices they make will not be to our benefit.
That is not an outcome we can live with."
She will continue the current wars and promote the US 'policing' the rest of the world...
"Third, we need to embrace all the tools of American power, especially diplomacy and development, to be on the frontlines solving problems before they threaten us at home." ... "Now we must enforce that deal vigorously. And as Ive said many times before, our approach must be distrust and verify. The world must understand that the United States will act decisively if necessary, including with military action, to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. In particular, Israels security is non-negotiable. Theyre our closest ally in the region, and we have a moral obligation to defend them."
When did the US need to become more imperialistic? when did this become a progressive / liberal position?

Renew Deal
(84,617 posts)You can vote for her foreign policy or for Trumps. He wants to let Japan and NK duke it out. He wants to put nukes into the Middle East. He wants to kill family members of terrorists.

(68,868 posts)As for defeating Trump, I'll take all the help we can get in making sure he never becomes president.
