U.S. troops in Syria get no from Clinton
Those companies operate a number of criminal and immigrant detention facilities, a few of which have been plagued by allegations of abuse and poor treatment of detainees. It ushered in a new phase in the Democratic race. In addition, the horrors of war have resulted in many veterans landing in prison, and almost one in ten inmates has served in the military. Twitter accounts affiliated with Clinton’s campaign have eschewed subtlety to attack Sanders and O’Malley on this point.
Asked whether it would really be possible to resist calls for such action in the wake of a terror attack on USA soil, Clinton conceded there would be enormous pressure.
In contrast, Hillary Clinton now calls her vote a “mistake” and still believed the Iraqi insurgency was failing in 2005. They gave Clinton higher marks in 11 areas, while Sanders was the clear victor in two categories: reining in Wall Street and being more honest and trustworthy.
That also ties in with the third element of Clinton’s strategy – protecting the United States of America against homegrown as well as external threats. Bernie Sanders, for the Democratic presidential nomination. Sanders is scandal-free and isn’t the target of impeachment during his first year in office like Clinton.
“Critics might say it’s disingenuous or Machiavellian but I disagree”, says Dagnes.
Hillary Clinton has neoconservative support and will have something similar to a “necon” foreign policy. Those nations, she said, have to “stop their citizens from directly funding terrorist organizations”, mosques and other places of radicalization, as part of an effort to “disrupt and dismantle” the global infrastructure of terrorism.
This evolution towards increased militancy isn’t something Democrats or the country need at the moment.
She attempted to put a positive spin on Libya, where she played a leading role in promoting the US-NATO war for regime change, using Al Qaeda-linked militias as a proxy ground force, and then obscenely gloated over the lynch mob murder of Muammar Gaddafi: “We came, we saw, he died”. And since there are no simple solutions to the problems presented by Isis, no presidential candidate wants to tell the American public that there’s nothing to be done – or that nobody knows what precisely to do.
Also, I explain in The Huffington Post and Salon why the DNC needs to be taught a lesson.
The Council on Foreign Relations, based in Washington, conducts research and weighs in on foreign policy issues. Only the president has the power to unilaterally wage war and spend billions, and President Obama’s war against ISIS has cost 2.4 billion, in addition to a recently scrapped 0 million program arming the Syrian rebels.
Declaring that the aftermath of the Paris terrorist attacks was “no time to be scoring political points”, Clinton set out to do just that, employing the political tactic of “triangulation” made famous by her husband, adopting a more aggressive militarist posture than Obama while criticizing Republicans for their demands that Syrian refugees be barred from the USA, or that only Christians be admitted.
According to Clinton, America should “intensify and broaden our efforts to smash the would-be caliphate”. “I have seen what happens when evil and hatred is unleashed”.
Voters who think the United States is at war with radical Islamic terrorism are evenly divided over the question of whether ISIS represents true Islamic beliefs.
Sanders was right about Iraq and he’s right about ISIS today.
Given the reports that ISIS seeks to hide among refugees, that at least one of the attackers in Paris may have been a refugee, and bipartisan concerns about the refugee screening process in Congress, the pause in bringing refugees to this country that passed the House of Representatives this week is both sensible and appropriate.
