Hillary Clinton to Deliver Counterterrorism Address at Stanford University on Wednesday, March 23, 2016

On Wednesday, March 23, Hillary Clinton will deliver a speech on counterterrorism at Stanford University. In the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Brussels, Clinton will highlight how now is a time for steady leadership when we must stand in solidarity with our European allies and respond firmly to defeat ISIS.

As Clinton said earlier today, “These terrorists seek to undermine the democratic values that are the foundation of our alliance and our way of life, but they will never succeed. Today's attacks will only strengthen our resolve to stand together as allies and defeat terrorism and radical jihadism around the world.”

1. I hope there will be video available afterwards!

KNR'ing for you!

[Lizzie Poppet]

2. Content: "As President, I'll bomb the shit out of people for this sort of thing."

"Some of them might actually be responsible for the attacks, too..."

6. I'm curious what she'll say about her desire for "deeper involvement in Libya "

Or her no-fly-zone proposal for Syria.

Expanded surveillance will be in there I bet.

Ugh, I'm pretty sure the speech will push all the neocon buttons. Wonder if Blumenthal, Kagan and Kissinger helped draft it.

3. I really hope it will be made available to the media afterwards

...and broadcast so we can all watch and listen to what she has to say.

4. Great! nt

[IdaBriggs]

5. How much is she being paid? nt

[rhett o rick]

7. She will say we need to increase the defense budget and cut safety nets. The Neocons are

already applauding.

[SheenaR]

8. Let's play on people's fears the next day

That's a new one

Where has she been on counterterrorism this entire campaign? Now it's time to make it front and center though.

When she calls a counter-climate change conference, wake me

[HumanityExperiment]

9. counter terrorism...

Aren't her past voting records and speeches indicative of causing greater terrorism throughout the world rather than curtailing it?

Will this be a speech for political expediency and capitalizing on the current fearful heuristics to further that neocon stance she's trying to project and protect?

Hmmm one wonders what HRC will say to eh?

"More 'security' needed..."

"More intel gathering methods and strengthening Patriot Act..."

"More military involvement starting with 'no fly zones' that expands to the 'eventual boots on ground'..."

"We must better protect US interests here and abroad..."

Let's see if I can get a Yahtzee on the points I posed above....
