78. She's a neocon, and people need to be reminded
Tue Dec 29, 2015, 01:58 AM
Dec 2015

She picked Robert Kagan, one of the PNAC/neocon founders to be a policy adviser when she was SOS.

Who in the hell does that?

How dare she bring this filth into our party and make warmongering a Democratic pastime.

She's got a storied history of pro-war stances: Voting for the Iraq war, while knowing that the neocons had asked her husband for the same Iraq war when he was President. In fact, her "policy adviser" Robert Kagan, was one of the signatories on the 1998 letter to Bill Clinton that begged him to go to war with Iraq.

She knew this was a war of opportunity for the warmongering neocons, and she served as a cheerleader for it.

She also banged the war drums for intervention in Iran, when Bush tried to warm up the American public to war with Iran.

She was for arming the Syrian rebels.

She spearheaded the destabilization of Libya, which is now a failed, violent state. This is precisely the neocon blueprint. Remove or kill Middle East leaders, destabilize the area and leave it vulnerable. Pillage the resources and control the region.

The neocons spell out the countries on their wish list, in their "Rebuilding America's Defenses" manifesto. They want Iraq, Iran, Syria and Libya. Look how much progress they've made with Hillary's help.

Sick of Democrats who apologize or deny this. Sick of neocon scum being in our Democratic party. This is not what the Democratic party is about. It's sick. Her cozy relationship with Kissinger and Kagan are reminders of who she is.
