Half the Foreign Policy Experts Signing Clinton's Anti-Sanders Letter Tied to Military Contractors

[Cheese Sandwich]

Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a letter this week in which 10 foreign policy experts criticized her opponent Bernie Sanders’ call for closer engagement with Iran and said Sanders had “not thought through these crucial national security issues that can have profound consequences for our security.”

The missive from the Clinton campaign was covered widely in the press, but what wasn’t disclosed in the coverage is that fully half of the former State Department officials and ambassadors who signed the letter, and who are now backing Clinton, are now enmeshed in the military contracting establishment, which has benefited tremendously from escalating violence around the world, particularly in the Middle East.

2. This is why Senator Sanders has good judgment, it is not clouded by money.

3. It's shit like this that makes me sure she'll start some wars

She must never become President. We don't need any more of her $2 trillion wars that lead to the creation of ISIS. Enough is enough.

4. Why is Hillary bashing Obama's foreign policy and diplomacy?

He just made good headway with Iran and got us "closer engagement" with them. Why is she publicly bashing him in an attack on Sanders?
