DERRY, N.H. ...............
...................Clinton said in response to a question at a town hall meeting with veterans that the U.S. needs to have a better understanding of the threat posed by radical Islamic groups. She said the U.S. also needs to understand the potential costs, saying, "if you have a declaration of war you better have a budget that backs it up."
"I'm not sure that makes sense in fighting a threat that is as diffuse and networked as this threat is," Clinton said.
..................................
Clinton has backed the decision by President Barack Obama to deploy a small number of special operations forces to northern Syria to work with local ground forces in the fight against Islamic State militants. But she has opposed the U.S. entering a larger ground war in the Middle East to combat the rise of Islamic militants......................

(6,280 posts)...that all sounds good to all those millions who support her but one only has to read between the lines to understand that Hillary's agenda is focused on building a military to fight the wars that she is determined to declare if elected president. This little gem I found in the middle of her "plan" proves without a doubt that she is just another war monger.

(15,438 posts)WASHINGTON International rivals would be mistaken to assume he wouldnt be prepared to use military force if thats what circumstances required, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said in an interview that aired on Sunday.
The Vermont senator says the United States should have the strongest military in the world. The U.S. should be prepared to act when it or its allies are threatened or in response to genocide.
Yes, there are times when you have to use force. No question about it, Sanders said. But that should be a last resort.

Would these statements qualify Bernie as a warmonger according to your guidelines?

(6,280 posts)... My first reply to your post. It was a little over the top. I will use this post just to say that I am a Hillary Clinton supporter 100%. I used a rather large sarcasm tag, and thought it would be sufficient.

(6,280 posts)The huge sign on my post stating "warning sarcasm may be present" was not enough? Believe me, it was pure sarcasm. I am a Hillary Clinton supporter 100%.

(70,239 posts)sign. Sorry that I did not come across that way. I so often avoid the clutter(avatars, sig lines, bugs or whatever) in the posts--and just try to read the words. In your case, I read the words--was puzzled cause I thought you were a HIllary supporter--then read the big sign. dah.!!

(6,280 posts)My reaction to your post was a little over the top too. Yep, Hillary supporter here. Ever since she was introduced to my state as First Lady of Arkansas. I am in love with this woman. Don't tell Bill.
