Hillary's Foreign Policy
Architects of war support Hillary Clinton because she:
- Advocated for arming fighters in Syria; also called for missile strikes and a no-fly zone
in Syria
- Has a hawkish, provocative position towards Russia
- Supported, if not facilitated, a military coup in Ukraine, which included neo-Nazi battalions
- Admitted she played a role in the military coup in Honduras
- Guaranteed “Israel’s qualitative military edge;” said she'll “stand up against the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.”
- Pushed hard for the overthrow of Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, then bragged about his murder (Gaddafi was killed by a bayonet stab to the anus)
- Warned that the U.S. could "totally obliterate" Iran
- Reportedly used her cell phone to approve of drone strikes that killed as many as 1,000 civilians, including up to 200 children in Pakistan alone
- Backed escalation of the war in Afghanistan
- Voted for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and supported the plan to leave behind up to 20,000 American troops in Iraq
- Supported President Bill Clinton's wars and the power of the president to make war without Congress

Ultra-hawk Robert Kagan described Clinton as a neocon and
"one of us ... I feel comfortable with her on foreign policy... If she pursues a policy which we think she will pursue it’s something that might have been called neocon, but clearly her supporters are not going to call it that; they are going to call it something else.” [Actually, Kagan is already calling it something else: "liberal interventionism".]
