(8,750 posts)No way Hillary is involved in that.
She's pro-military and pro-American military strength and projection of that strength, but planning and waging a war of choice? Nope, don't see it. Never saw evidence of it in the 90s, and Bill Clinton certainly threw American military assets around, didn't see it when Hillary was SoS, don't see it now.
Hillary's not PNAC. Yes Syria, Yes Lybia, but those were not PNAC actions. The Project for a New American Century called for constant war and bringing capitalism to the world at the point of a sword. That's not in Hillary's M.O., she's not that bellicose.
Is she more bellicose than Obama? Yes. Is she more bellicose than Bernie, oh hell yeah. But she's not Bush or Cheney or Wolfowitz or Rumsfield level of warmongering? Certainly not.
People should judge Hillary for what she is and quit making her out to be the most craven evil thing in the world. She isn't a binary human being, nor is Sanders for that matter. There's shades of gray with them.
Its like people lost their minds around here. Everything is Black or White. We are all smarter than this, lets act smarter.
