2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTop UN Advisor Noted How Hillary Lied During the Last Debate:
At Milwaukee Debate, Hillary stated:
But I would add this. You know, the Security Council finally got around to adopting a resolution. At the core of that resolution is an agreement I negotiated in June of 2012 in Geneva, which set forth a cease-fire and moving toward a political resolution, trying to bring the parties at stake in Syria together.
Except, Hillary was blatantly lying:
Dr. Jeffrey Sachs notes:
This is the kind of compulsive misrepresentation that makes Clinton unfit to be President. Clinton's role in Syria has been to help instigate and prolong the Syrian bloodbath, not to bring it to a close.
In 2012, Clinton was the obstacle, not the solution, to a ceasefire being negotiated by UN Special Envoy Kofi Annan.
Jeffrey Sachs notes that:
It was US intransigence - Clinton's intransigence - that led to the failure of Annan's peace efforts in the spring of 2012, a point well known among diplomats.
Despite Clinton's insinuation in the Milwaukee debate, there was (of course) no 2012 ceasefire, only escalating carnage.
Clinton bears heavy responsibility for that carnage, which has by now displaced more than 10 million Syrians and left more than 250,000 dead......

Perhaps her lying was caused by PTSD from coming under sniper fire in Bosnia?

I'm just angry. I thought that was a secondary emotion. Guess just bypass shock through numbness.

The killing has dragged on and on, the refugee crisis made worse, and the Russians decided to join the party. All because we can't seem to stop exporting war as our main form of economic activity.
