United States troops in Syria get no from Clinton
“After a major attack, every society faces a choice between fear and resolve. And we must lead a world to meet this threat”.
She urged Turkey and Saudi Arabia to redirect their attention from battling Kurdish forces and the conflict in Yemen to the fight against Islamic State militants.
First and foremost, I respect Hillary Clinton as a human being and admire her courage in advocating health care reform in the early ’90s.
Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, is the antitheses of Clinton on these issues and doesn’t take money from prison lobbyists, nor does he have neoconservative advisers.
In addressing her stance on what should be done to defeat the IS terrorist organization, which killed at least 129 people and injured over 350 others in an attack on Paris last Friday, Clinton differed from President Barack Obama in that she is calling for a no-fly zone over Syria.
Former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley replied to Ms Clinton’s comment by saying “this actually is America’s fight” and self-described socialist and Vietnam War objector Senator Bernie Sanders was at his most animated when he said: “This world, with American leadership, can and must come together to destroy [IS]”.
While both candidates have called for an worldwide coalition to fight the diffuse IS threat, they take different approaches.
In a sweeping address in NY, the front-runner for the 2016 center-left Democratic Party’s presidential nomination laid out her vision for how to heighten pressure on the Islamic State and combat terrorism at home.
According to an investigation conducted by the Washington Post, Haim Saban and his wife, Cheryl, made 39 contributions to Clinton political campaigns since 1992, totaling to 2.4 million over the past two decades. One neoconservative historian states in The NY Times that he’s “comfortable with her” on foreign policy and that Clinton’s foreign policy is “something that might have been called neocon, but clearly her supporters are not going to call it that”.
She also declared that the aftermath of the attacks in the French capital is “no time to be scoring political points”.
A moment later, Clinton agreed.
While Clinton wants the U.S.to lead the fight against ISIS, she is not in favor of troops being on long-term deployments in Syria.
Letter says US negotiators must explain that the ultimate say is with Congress and not the administration. “… The United States must work with Europe to dramatically and immediately improve intelligence sharing and counterterrorism coordination”. She warned Silicon Valley, a rich source of Democratic campaign funds, that preventing the government from accessing encrypted technologies used by terrorists to communicate could lead to another attack. “I really put that on Assad and on the Iraqis and on the region itself”.
“No, I am not a pacifist. I think that war should be the last resort”, he said, briefly addressing national security in remarks billed as defining his democratic socialist leanings. But Democrats, and Ms Clinton, could also end up underestimating it. But a glance at the distribution of income across the country makes it hard to argue that that anyone earning close to $250,000 a year could be considered part of the “middle” of the income range. This statement served to distance Clinton from the long-ridiculed Obama claim that the terrorist group had been “contained”.
This trend comes despite her declaration during the first Democratic debate in October, after being pressed by the CNN moderator: “I don’t take a backseat to anyone when it comes to progressive experience and progressive commitment”.
“Like President Obama, I do not believe that we should again have 100,000 American troops in combat in the Middle East”, Clinton said.
“If we have learned anything from 15 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s that local people and nations have to secure their own communities”, Clinton said. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam. She has accused Sanders of promoting programs that she says would raise taxes on middle-class families, including his plan for a single-payer health system based on Medicare.
