(2,730 posts)that you need to give the American people more credit, especially after they were duped into an illegal War in Iraq, which cost Americans Billions of Dollars and lives. Even the Polls do not agree with you this time.
There is more information out there, in this age of communication, then coming from the Obama Administration, Congress, the Western Media or special interest groups with agendas. For example, I don't believe the Obama Administration because of other information disputing their claims about who actually used sarin gas between the Assad Government and rebel forces infiltrated by religious extremists perpetrating acts of Terrorism in a War.
President Obama's assertion is the rebels have no access to chemicals, but there is information disputing it. Even their choice for Head of the U.N. doesn't go that far to accuse the Syrian Government of using Sarin, because they have information disputing it. I have posted several times that information on this Board and how the rebels may have obtained access to chemical weapons.
As far as President Clinton, I would be leary of any Democrat getting in bed with the likes of John McCain or Lindsey Graham advocating another War for regime change. The President would do him self better if he just reverse this path altogether of regime change and nation building, like he campaigned on in 2008 and 2012. He put some of the same people advocating this Policy in his Administration. He needs to give America a fresh start and break clean from it.
President Clinton is not helping that at all allying his voice with these people. As far as I'm concerned, people like John McCain should be the first person retired from Congress. Hillary Clinton was defeated, because Obama used the Iraq War against her. If she does run, I guarantee you she want be popular advocating more Wars for regime change. There is nothing wussy about being smart, instead of a wreckless warmongeror. Sne will be an easy target for a new Democrat to run against her. People vote on issues, not celebrity status. If Obama truely believes he just won on celebrity status, then he don't know his core voters.
