(24,411 posts)When it comes to war--Hillary is furthering the neocon agenda that Bush pushed.
Hillary hand picked Robert Kagan to be one of her foreign-policy advisers while she was Secretary of State. Of course you know that he founded the neocon movement and engineered the Iraq War plan.
Hillary surrounds herself with the same cast of characters who were at the epicenter of Bush's foreign policy.
If you read, "Rebuilding America's Defenses" (the neocon war blueprints) you will find that they name four countries that they seek to dominate and control: Iraq, Iran, Syria and Libya.
Bush gave them Iraq. Hillary spearheaded efforts in Libya that turned that country into a failed state. She vociferously advocated for arming the Syrian rebels and creating a no-fly zone over Syria. Obama held the line on a full-on war in Syria while Hillary championed the idea. What else was she to do with Kagan sitting by her side--"advising" her?
Reality escapes anyone who doesn't see this. I don't see how any of you can defend this. But God knows you will work like little elves to do so.
