Hillary Clintons support of War and Neo-Con regime change

Has devastated four countries.
Has pushed millions into poverty.
Has resulted in the deaths of millions.
Has destabalized the Middle East.
Has created more terrorist
Has lead to the biggest refugee crisis in history.

Her chicken-hawk pro war foreign policy is for one reason only: greed.

It has impoverished million$, but has made the very few war profiteers extremly wealthy.

Her foreign policy of murder is indefensible.

3. Well, knowing who she really works for (and it's not us)...

how could we be surprised. There are so many credible reports of this nature that it boggles the mind to consider the depth of the river of denial that her supporters are happily swimming in.

4. What do you expect? Robert Kagan was one of her foreign-policy advisers

Robert Kagan founded the neocon movement. He hatched the entire neocon plan--that would orchestrate several Middle East wars for the express purpose of destabilizing those countries and destroying them---which would pave the way for US corporate interests to horn in, set up shop and profit handsomely. It's always about the money, isn't it?

This is sociopathic.

And this ingrate was one of Hillary Clinton's Middle East foreign-policy advisers. Her actions as Secretary of State were in line with neocon wishes. Libya was one of the countries on the neocon hit list. Hillary sure gave that to them, didn't she? She was also for establishing a no-fly zone over Syria and arming the Syrian rebels. She wanted more war. Luckily, Obama listened to Robert Gates and didn't go full neocon, as Hillary was urging Obama.

Plus, she voted for the Iraq war, knowing damn well that those neocon bastards who were rushing us into war--were the same neocons who asked her husband for an Iraq war when he was President. Back in 1998, they wrote then-President Bill Clinton and begged him for war with Iraq. He said no. That letter to President Clinton was signed by Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and many others including ROBERT KAGAN.

Here's a copy of that letter to President Clinton from Hillary's neocon pals and "advisers"

7. She's probably promised them all to Saudi Arabia and the other HR abusers already.

9. If it was a vote for war, why was Iraq invaded by Hans Blix and the U.N. Weapons Inspectors?

Only one person voted NO for war and that was Rep Barbara Lee

60 Words And A War Without End: The Untold Story Of The Most Dangerous Sentence In U.S. History

Written in the frenzied, emotional days after 9/11, the Authorization for the Use of Military Force was intended to give President Bush the ability to retaliate against whoever orchestrated the attacks. But more than 12 years later, this sentence remains the primary legal justification for nearly every covert operation around the world. Here’s how it came to be, and what it’s since come to mean.

That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.

11. So, why did our bombs miss Saudi Arabia after 9/11? HRC and the neocons retargeted them
Sun Apr 10, 2016, 02:15 AM

so they would hit Iraq, Libya and Syria, instead. Then we sold more bombs to the oil kingdom and Qatar. That's the real war crime we've never come to grips with.

13. That authorization had nothing to do with Iraq

hence it needed a seperate authorization.

It has nothing to do with libya or syria.

Her foreign policy disasters go beyond one vote.

14. Her record on foreign policy disqualifies her

from being President.

Anybody that supports wars of aggression and regime change is only doing it for the war profiteers to get rich.

War has been and will always be about greed.
