with the Iraq war, and her own foreign policy of denying the Syrian people sorely needed aide?

Neocons: Helping people is a waste of cash.

Bombing them is a much better investment.

Clinton and her supporters keep on bring up times Sanders critical of Obama. In my eyes this is worst then Sanders saying Obama is not progressive enough. In this case Clinton was actively undermining Obama's foreign policy.

Undermining Obama's policies and going the distance in making Libya and Syria paradises on Earth.

Or something.

she's a war hawk of monstrous proportions. That fact is a big part of my opposition to her

A couple of the hillarians like to post threats every time Sanders criticizes one of the president's corporatist policies. Wait...I know..."Hillary would never say that about a white president. This is why her support among black Americans is declining"

she voted for the Iraq war

she bombed Libya

she intervened for regime change in Syria

all those places now are ISIS playgrounds, thanks to Hillary and Bush

I can't believe that Hillary dissed Obama. Hillary dissing Obama will surely cost her the AA vote.

It's currently(always has been?) a very shaky marriage of convenience. Obama needs someone to continue his policies for his legacy to be assured. Clinton needs to be associated with the continuance of a successful presidency.

Reality is setting in.

not long after the deal she keeps trying to take credit for had been negotiated.
The way she tries to have everything both ways is what makes her seem so ruthless.

the w initiated/hillary approved foreign policy decisions have wrecked the middle east and gotten millions killed, wrecked our economy (at least contributed), and have led to a quagmire that will take decades, at best, to undo.
