Clinton offers more hawkish approach on Islamic State than Obama

NEW YORK | BY LUCIANA LOPEZ

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Thursday urged a more aggressive approach to fighting Islamic State militants than President Barack Obama has pursued, saying an intensified air campaign is needed combined with ground forces.

In a speech in New York, Clinton offered her most expansive view to date on how to counter a growing militancy that launched attacks in Paris last Friday in which 129 people died.

"Our goal is not to deter or contain ISIS, but to defeat and destroy ISIS," said Clinton, using an acronym to describe Islamic State. Her words amounted to an implicit criticism of Obama, who said days before the Paris attacks that Islamic State had been contained.

Clinton said defeating Islamic State will require more ground forces to counter the militants, who have carved out a self-proclaimed caliphate in Syria and Iraq. She did not say whether this should include more Americans but made clear the bulk of the fight should be done with local forces.

3. Hawkish is one way of putting it. Terrifying is another.

"We cannot view Iran and ISIS as separate challenges."....what the fuck. This is some 9/11 smoke screen level shit.

7. Iran and ISIS hate each other

she scares the shit out of me...

her self aggrandizement ...."sniper fire"....by reviving her story on Veterans Day about being turned away by a Marine recruiter.,
saying that she was for the attack on Bin Laden, and Biden and the secretary of defense were against the attack.”....always
working to burnish her Hawkish armor



and her cavalier attitude toward death...."We Came, We Saw, He Died!" while laughing about Moammar Gaddafi.

5. She hasn't changed any of her recommendations

as far as I can tell. Same approach as before the Paris attacks. This headline is just bait for getting attention.

This country has got to STOP wasting all our resources on the MIC! Our infrastructure is crumbling, our schools are in need of money and rebuilding and our water system is old and outdated -in desperate need of repair. STOP WITH THE WARMONGERING!

She already created one of the worst disasters in the history of the world - IRAQ! She gave us the Syrian and Libyan messes which created ISIS!

ENOUGH WITH THE WARMONGERING!
