Hillary Clinton Unveils Plan to Stop Spread of ISIS



by Monica Alba and Alex Seitz-Wald

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -...................

.............But some of her biggest applause lines came when Clinton directly connected terrorism and the need for gun control. Acknowledging that Republicans would disagree with her, Clinton said it was simple: "Terrorists use guns to kill Americans. I think we should make it harder for them from to do that."

Saying "the phrase 'active shooter' should not be one we have to teach our children," Clinton said, "It defies common sense that Republicans in Congress refuse to make it harder for potential terrorists to buy guns."

..............................

Minneapolis has one of the largest Muslim populations in the country, especially refugees from Somalia. That's made it fertile ground for recruitment, with the tenth arrest of a Minnesota man planning to join ISIS occurring just last week. At least 22 young men left the Twin Cities area to join the Somali militant group Al Shabaab between 2007 and 2009.

Before the speech, Clinton met with local Muslim leaders, including the first Somali-American member of the Minneapolis City Council, where her campaign says she discussed efforts to combat radicalization. ..............

Clinton: "Promising to carpet bomb until the desert glows doesn't make you sound strong, it makes you sound like you're in over your heads."

[misterhighwasted]

1. She totally humiliated him

Clinton: "Promising to carpet bomb until the desert glows doesn't make you sound strong, it makes you sound like you're in over your heads." 

Haaaahaaaha..
Sec of State Hillary Clinton just flicked that one right off her shoulder.
God they're dumb.

[GummyBearz]

3. "Promising to carpet bomb until the desert glows doesn't make you sound strong...

it makes you sound like you're in over your heads."

Wonder why she didn't say that when Bush asked congress for the power to go bomb Iraq... back then she was all like "hell yea lets do this shit! I vote yes!" Then the meddling with Qaddafi, aka "we came we saw he died", then the destabilization of Syria via force...

And now she's like "Hey I am smarter than you on this"... too bad the history doesn't suggest so. Carpet bombing until the desert glows has been her policy since her vote on the Iraq War Resolution.

[misterhighwasted]

5. Wow. Thats some snarky shit!

I get it. Bernies at 28%.

[GummyBearz]

6. Yes he is

Interesting how you change the topic instead of address the facts presented. I get it.

[misterhighwasted]

9. haaaha. No on changes the subject faster than

28% bernie.
Let it go.

[GummyBearz]

24. Oh goodness no, lets not change subjects or ignore points made

the irony is strong with you

[VanillaRhapsody]

27. It wasnt a point.....it was a derailment....

I read in context....

[gordyfl]

10. Haven't We've Seen This Show Before?

Yeah, "Shock and Awe", she was all for it.

We used to say John McCain never knew a war he didn't like. Looks like he's got some competition.

[VanillaRhapsody]

28. Thats utter horseshit...

She wasn't President.....

Something tells me there are alot of George W Bush fans hanging around DU tonight because of the piss poor debate...

[billhicks76]

18. Because She's A War Monger

And corrupted by Wall St War Dollars. Who cares if she is shrewd.

[EndElectoral]

34. I've often found it odd Obama asked her to be Sec. of State rather than Sec. of Defense.

She has a rather hawkish approach in action.

[billhicks76]

40. Deals Were Made

Laugh it off if you want but I live in the real world. When he and her met in Europe when the tide was turning towards Obama I bet the Wall St power brokers and National Security establishment told them how it was gonna go. Deals were made. I often wonder given all Obamas flip flops we forgot about if he was blackmailed by them. Who knows...there's embarrassing info on every American in those call log databases now.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

23. When she's not busy dodging sniper fire in Tuzla

[daybranch]

25. As a combat veteran Vietnam & Cambodia, with PTSD, I resent you

attacking our brave sister. No one should be blamed for mental illness like PTSD except the oligarchy and their political servants who perpetuate these wars for economic gain. Oops, that leads back to Hillary again. Sorry Hillary fans, I just cannot force myself to unsee what I have seen, How do you do it?

[gordyfl]

2. "George W. Bush Was Right!"

Some more of her speech...

"We are in it for the long haul and we will stand taller and stronger than they could possibly imagine."

(Like 13 years is not a long haul?)

Clinton acknowledged that Americans have a right to be fearful in this climate.

(Fear, fear, and more fear.)

She has repeatedly said that the fight against ISIS needs to take place in the air, on the ground, and in cyberspace.

(The war profiteers are loving it!)

The Democratic presidential frontrunner invoked an unlikely figure to make the point. "George W. Bush was right," she said, referring to his warning just says after the September 11 terror attack against vilifying Muslim-Americans.

[Hekate]

12. So what is your plan? I am all ears.

[gordyfl]

19. My Plan?

I plan not to lead my country down a dangerous and wasteful path by NOT voting for Hillary.

[EndElectoral]

35. The phrase "George W. Bush was right." should never be uttered with children in the room.

[fbc]

4. hillary: any war but the class war

[Bubzer]

15. Right on target. The class war is far more important than the impotent ISIL pricks.

The 1% has been bleeding this country down... the less living-wage work there is to go around, the more violence and discontent we'll have in our country... ISIL wont have to lift a finger.

[madville]

7. Sorry Sec. Clinton

I don't share your love for GWB's terror watch and no-fly lists. More of a due process sort of person myself.

[Laser102]

8. I saw that on Maddow. Hillary is tough as nails. I think that's what scares the haters.

I can't wait until she's in the White House.

[gordyfl]

11. Hillary Will Never Win a Nobel Peace Prize

Four, or worse yet, eight more years of Bush war policies. Yikes!

[Hekate]

13. Scares the Hillary Haters here just as much. I want to know what THEIR plan is...

I still have not heard and it's been months.

[gordyfl]

16. "Hillary is Tough as Nails"

Who else "Tough as nails"?

George H. Bush suggested that Cheney may even have been pushed toward a harder line by his conservative wife and daughter, Liz and Lynne.

"You know, I've concluded that Lynne Cheney is a lot of the eminence grise here ... tough as nails, driving," Bush is quoted as saying.

[Laser102]

30. Bush was an ignoramus. Hillary is not. See the difference?

The term tough as nails has been used by a great many people. Even the totally bat crap crazy have borrowed it. However used in the context of Hilary, it means she has more grit than most of her challengers, and will no doubt kick their collective asses. Wait for it.

[whereisjustice]

14. how about this - we keep the neo-cons out of office, starting with Hillary...

[billhicks76]

17. Feeding The Fear

Gee how surprising. So pathetic.

[Turn CO Blue]

21. Stop the spread of ISIL? She can do that? Why not share her strategy w Obama and Generals now?

Hillary has a plan stop the spread of ISIL?

We have a Commander in Chief NOW. He has access to all kinds of intel that she does not. We have generals and the Joint Chiefs NOW. Whatever she WILL be, that is a VERY long time from now.

Refugees' lives are on the line now. There is a horrible civil war now. Those lunatics are torturing and beheading human beings NOW.

She and her all-knowing advisers are more than welcome to get on the phone with Obama this second -- IF she really had anything to offer -- because we have 12 whole months of ISIL to deal with in the meantime. We have the French, allies, the UN and the entire western world working on that same problem now - how to stop ISIL, how to defeat ISIL.

Regardless of her intentions here, whether to promote her own toughness or to stomp on Cruz or whoever, this wound up being an insult to Barack Obama.

It was a not-too-subtle swipe at POTUS and his current strategy, and a swipe at the world leaders already working to stop the spread of ISIL.

Seriously, this is very unwelcome and over-the-top rhetoric.

I like Hillary. I like Bernie. I despise the cherry-picking and extreme partisan rhetoric.

[840high]

22. Words. No plan.

[bvf]

26. Oh, well, if you want a *plan*...

"STOP THAT!"

[840high]

39. ....

[Scuba]

29. "Do what is right and necessary." Yeah, that's some plan.

[winter is coming]

32. Right and necessary in whose judgement? Hers? Oh, hell no. n/t

[RoccoR5955]

31. Don't tell me...

More fear and bombing, and not a thing involving changing the hearts and minds of people.

We need less military, and more psychology. Every terrorist killed brings a martyr, who generates at least two more terrorists. Why they fail to see this is beyond me. Perhaps it is because they need to keep the military industrial complex going.

[Scuba]

33. They don't fail to see it, as you noted in your last sentence.

[EndElectoral]

36. Hillary vs FDR

Hillary - "Americans have a right to be fearful in this climate."

FDR - "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

[ozone_man]

41. +1

Cultivating fear is a most effective tool for the military industrial complex. Our economy thrives on war.

Any serious plan to stop ISIS should start by getting Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar to stop supporting them. And the U.S. supplies so many of the weapons that wind up in the hands of ISIS. We can't be that inept, can we?

[jeff47]

37. God our media sucks.

"Clinton reveals plan....and we give you almost no details about it!!!"

Unless her speech really did only contain vague platitudes.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

38. So, what was the plan to stop the spread of ISIS?

And, is there a plan to remove ISIS?
