Clinton voted for the Iraq war, the Patriot Act, Patriot Act II, an amendment that would have sunsetted certain more extreme provisions of the Patriot Act, and as I have mentioned the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment, which was strongly supported by John McCain and which encouraged the Bush Administration to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group, this in 2007 when Bush and Cheney were eager to bomb Iran and start another war.

During the recent election campaign she promoted the establishment of a no-fly zone over Syria which would have led to a confrontation with Russian war planes.
Hillary's record is clear. She's a war monger. (And just for the record, I voted for Hillary in the general election because I regarded it as the only responsible choice. But I voted for Obama in 2008 because I didn't like Hillary's voting record in the senate.)
