(16,631 posts)At Milwaukee Debate, Hillary stated:
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[/b]......

(1,166 posts)is colossal, almost impossible to imagine and yet ... many Americans couldn't care less. The increased level of this country's violence and arrogance has lost it a lot of friends internationally. Interesting how the government's support of the global banking cartel goes hand in hand with perpetrating horrific violence and chaos around the world without a moment of moral doubt.

(3,017 posts)then I don't see how you have much standing to complain when somebody calls you a corporate whore. If the shoe fits, wear it. And it's not a sexist term. Bill Clinton is also a corporate whore.
