2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumA vote today for Hillary Clinton is a vote for endless, stupid war - Julian Assange Feb 29th
Hillary didn't just vote for Iraq. She made her own Iraq. Libya is Hillary's Iraq and if she becomes president she will make more.
I have had years of experience in dealing with Hillary Clinton and have read thousands of her cables. Hillary lacks judgement and will push the United States into endless, stupid wars which spread terrorism. Her personality combined with her poor policy decisions have directly contributed to the rise of ISIS.
Pentagon generals objected to destroying the Libyan state. They felt Hillary did not have a safe post-war plan. Hillary Clinton went over their heads. Libya has been destroyed. It became a haven for ISIS. The Libyan national armory was looted and hundreds of tons of weapons were transferred to jihadists in Syria. Hillary's war has increased terrorism, killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians and has set back women's rights in the Middle East by hundreds of years. Having learned nothing from the Libyan disaster Hillary then set about trying do the same in Syria.
Hillary publicly took credit for the destruction of the Libyan state. On hearing that the country's president had been killed by her handiwork, she became wild-eyed and gloated "We came, we saw, he died!". In the momentary thrill of the kill, she had aped, of all people, Julius Ceaser.
Hillary's problem is not just that she's war hawk. She's a war hawk with bad judgement who gets an unseemly emotional rush out of killing people. She shouldn't be let near a gun shop, let alone an army. And she certainly should not become president of the United States.

Assange has it right. Bad judgement - Honduras, Columbia, Iraq, Libya, Syria.

(5,275 posts)Post WWll it has been one costly, stupid, and counter productive war after another.
Or stupid action other than out and out war....like the coup we helped orchestrate in Iran in the early 50s, to put in Brutal tyrant....we looked the other way as long as he gave us access to their oil. That bit us hard in the late 70s. Kind of our arrangement with Saudi Arabia now.
We could be at such a good place for all right now but are not because of war and greed.
I hope Hillary morphs a bit if elected. JFK did though it likely got him killed....the Ruling Class plays heartless hardball for sure.

I just looked up Hillary's childhood.
"
Hillary grew up in a middle-class home in Park Ridge, a suburb of Chicago. Her dad, Hugh, was a World War II Navy veteran and a small-business owner who designed, printed, and sold drapes. Hillary helped with the family business whenever she could.
Hugh was a rock-ribbed Republican, a pay-as-you-go kind of guy who worked hard and wasted nothing.
"
but then,
"Hillary attended public school and was a Brownie and a Girl Scout. She was raised a Methodist, and her mother taught Sunday school. On a trip to Chicago with her youth ministry, Hillary got to see Martin Luther King Jr. speakthis sparked her lifelong passion for social justice."
She SAW MLK speak and became a Goldwater girl! How do you see MLK then be against civil rights? WTF!
