2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Seeks NEO-CON Shelter (against the Sanders storm) [View all]tecelote
(5,122 posts)6. THIS IS WHY HILLARY CAN NOT BE PRESIDENT! ENOUGH DAMNED WARS!!!!!
Why is Regime Change more important than healthcare for all?
This makes me sick!
Hillary supporters - please have a heart and vote for someone who does not love war!!!
This..."The troika of Clinton-Gates-Petraeus challenged Obama over his desire to wind down the Afghan War, bureaucratically mouse-trapping him into an ill-advised surge that accomplished little other than getting another 1,750 U.S. soldiers killed along with many more Afghans. Nearly three-quarters of the 2,380 U.S. soldiers who died in Afghanistan were killed on Obamas watch."

"Hillary Clinton seems to be betting that rank-and-file Democrats remain enthralled to Israel and afraid to challenge the powerful neocon propaganda machine that controls the U.S. establishments foreign policy by dominating major op-ed pages, TV political chat shows and leading think tanks."
--
"...some prominent neocons have made clear that they would be happy with Hillary Clinton as president."
--
"For instance, neocon superstar Robert Kagan told The New York Times in 2014 that he hoped that his neocon views which he now prefers to call liberal interventionist would prevail in a possible Hillary Clinton administration. After all, Secretary of State Clinton named Kagan to one of her State Department advisory boards and promoted his wife, neocon Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs Victoria Nuland, who oversaw the provocative regime change in Ukraine in 2014."

"According to the Times article, Clinton remains the vessel into which many interventionists are pouring their hopes.

Whenever Hillary speaks about the Middle East, she sounds just like any neocon Repug.
