TYT: Hillary Clinton Pounding War Drums After Paris Attacks

[WhoIsNumberNone]

We won't have to wait until after the election for a fresh reminder of what a war hawk Hillary Clinton is. She's already used the Paris terrorist attacks as a justification for increasing ground troops in Syria. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Hillary Clinton distanced herself from Barack Obama’s strategy for defeating Islamic State extremists on Thursday in a sweeping foreign policy speech that called for greater use of American ground troops and an intensified air campaign.

Though ruling out deploying the tens of thousands of US troops seen in Iraq andAfghanistan, the former of secretary of state made clear she would take a notably more hawkish approach than the current administration if she is elected president.

“The United States has been conducting this fight for more than a year; it’s time to be begin a new phase and intensify and broaden our efforts,” Clinton told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.”*

2. I honestly do not understand how anyone supports her.

Money or not. I have some very wealthy relatives. They're staunch liberals and they can't stand her. So the money part doesn't even excuse it.

Her plan sounds just like what she was promoting for the Iraq War.

4. Love Cenk here.

He really says it like it is.

I dunno what Secy Clinton's policy statements specifically mean in practice.

We need more information on that.

We will see, hopefully soon.

5. Did you forget, she assured us she would "tell all" after she was elected. How dare we ask for a

position before we vote? What does she think we are, serfs? Hmmm.

6. What is Sanders saying now, he was against it before he is for it now.

7. No. He's not. Hillary stole his plan to get other countries involved....

He recently proposed an international organization on the level of NATO to deal with the threat of terrorism with Middle Eastern countries as members.

8. No Idea

An "Intelligence Surge" is possibly the dumbest concept recently popularized. First of all, the methods, means and extent of our Intelligence gathering efforts are SECRET, by definition. Therefor any increase or decrease in these activities will be SECRET. So calling for a surge is clearly rhetorical. Duh.
