    Hillary's foreign policy left a legacy of bloodshed, mass deaths in Mideast, Afghanistan

    Even beyond her vote for Iraq war and saying "shame on you Barack Obama" in the past when he was running as an "anti Iraq war" candidate, her more recent legacy does not put the Wall Street puppet in good light.
    Those who think she can win in 2016 may be overlooking the high loss of appetite in America for foreign wars.

    Cleric Al-Sadr Supporters Storm Baghdad's Green Zone: Reports

    by F. Brinley Bruton and The Associated Press


    Protesters loyal to popular Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr have breached Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, home to government buildings and foreign embassies, according to reports and a security source.

    Followers of Iraq's Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr gather in the parliament building as they storm Baghdad's Green Zone after lawmakers failed to convene for a vote on overhauling the government on April 30. AHMED SAAD / Reuters
    A senior security official told NBC News that followers of the firebrand cleric forced their way into the heavily guarded area and occupied the country's parliament on Saturday. Security forces responsible for guarding the entrance to the area were not able to stop the demonstrators without opening fire so they let them in, the security source who spoke on condition of anonymity said.

    Your posts demonstrate Hillary's foreign policy positions which are well know facts. CPUd's responses again seem very supportive of a non-supportive candidate.

    I'm not a supporter of ANY current candidate or O, but I'd almost rather have him than the choices we have now. At least he made a sensible deal with Iran.

    Realize I said ALMOST.

    Yea, to be fair he did won Nobel Peace Prize even if he was Hillary's supervisor during Benghazi/Syria/Iraq/Afghan wars and drones kills.

    I'd be very interested in hearing CPUd's answer on this one, given that while Trump has repeatedly been on both sides of the Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya questions, Hillary has been in full, balls out support of all of it and instigated in the case of the last one. I'd be very curious to hear anyone justify how it would be comparatively better to have a practicing warmonger as opposed to a suspected/theoretical one.

    What does Teh Donald think of this matter?

    ...Trump from 2011, when, on his video blog, he pushed hard for the United States to intervene in Libya.

    “I can’t believe what our country is doing,” said Trump on his video blog. “Qaddafi in Libya is killing thousands of people, nobody knows how bad it is, and we’re sitting around we have soldiers all have the Middle East, and we’re not bringing them in to stop this horrible carnage and that’s what it is: It’s a carnage.”

    Trump said Libya could end up one of the worst massacres in history, and it would be very easy to topple Qaddafi.

    “You talk about things that have happened in history; this could be one of the worst,” he said. “Now we should go in, we should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick. We could do it surgically, stop him from doing it, and save these lives. This is absolutely nuts. We don’t want to get involved and you’re gonna end up with something like you’ve never seen before.”

    Trump said the people would take over from Qaddafi eventually and then “they should pay us back” out of appreciation.

    “But we have go in to save these lives; these people are being slaughtered like animals,” he said. “It’s horrible what’s going on; it has to be stopped. We should do on a humanitarian basis, immediately go into Libya, knock this guy out very quickly, very surgically, very effectively, and save the lives.

    Then, “After it’s all done,” Trump said, the protesters who took over the country would reimburse the U.S. through oil. [LOL, sound familiar?]
    https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczy...VD#.ciYDX9qEZn

    When Clinton last ran for office, Trump was torn between supporting her and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. ” They’re both terrific people, and I hope they both get the nomination,” he told CNN in 2007, adding that he thought Clinton would surround herself with good people to negotiate a deal with Iran. A year later, Trump wondered publicly why Clinton wasn’t chosen as President Obama’s running-mate.

    In 2012, as Obama was running for re-election, Trump called Clinton “terrific” again in an interview with Fox News, saying she performed well as Secretary of State.

    Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman,” he told Greta Van Susteren. “I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.

    CPUd is not a Hillary supporter.

    And BTW Hillary flipped on Iraq, saying she regretted it: just like Trump.

    ...though actually more honest than Trump, as Trump lied about having ever supported it in the first place.

    ...pretty tough to be less honest than Hillary, but Trump managed it.

    Trump day after Iraq invasion: It’s ‘a tremendous success’

    Republican primary front-runner Donald Trump claimed on the second day of Operation Iraqi Freedom that it appeared to be “a tremendous success from a military standpoint.”

    Speaking to Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on March 21, 2003, Trump predicted the war would continue to bolster Wall Street.

    “Well, I think Wall Street’s waiting to see what happens, but even before the fact they’re obviously taking it a little bit for granted, and it looks like a tremendous success from a military standpoint, and I think this is really nothing compared to what you’re gonna see after the war is over,” Trump said, as first reported by BuzzFeed News.

    The billionaire businessman said he was optimistic that international protests to the war would not harm the U.S. economy.

    “Well, I guess the French never liked us much except when we’re bailing them out, you know, to be totally honest with you,” he said. “But certainly we’re going to have to work on our public relations, because there’s no question that there are a lot of countries in the world right now that aren’t too fond of us, but I think that can be solved and probably pretty quickly."

    Trump also speculated in the interview as to what kinds of weapons of mass destruction the Iraqi regime was hiding.

    “The main thing is to get the war over with and just make it a tremendously successful campaign, and it’ll be very interesting to see what kind of weapons they uncover,” he said.

    Trump has made his prescient opposition to the Iraq War a central talking point on the campaign trail.

    After audio was uncovered from 2002 in which he expressed support for the invasion, Trump said by the time the war started, he was against it.

    He has also accused former President George W. Bush, brother of primary rival Jeb Bush, of lying about the reasons for the invasion

    Hmm, Hillary regretted it so much that she repeated the exact same mistake in Libya then? Doesn't sound more honest to me, and she was in a position to carry out the deed in question, Trump was building hotels, so I don't think you have a leg to stand on here, but I suppose it goes with being a steadfast idolater.

    P.S. - If CPUd is not a Hillary supporter, why is he posting anti-Trump stuff on a thread about Hillary Clinton? It's one thing to spam up this forum with anti-Trump topics, but going in and trying to deflect attention from Hillary's sins strikes me as a supporter playing defense.

    This was long after Libya. IIRC, it was sometime last summer/fall.

    ....part of her campaign strategy no doubt, and probably not genuine, but nonetheless.

    Supporting the war and then admitting you were wrong is more honest than supporting the war and then lying about having supported it.

    You'll have to ask him.

    But, if he's like me, he's taking every opportunity to spread the truth about Trump, which many here still don't want to hear.

    This topic provides a perfect segue, as both supported the wars in question.

    Ah, so the lesser lie prevails, that's what I thought. This is the reason why I'm not voting, there is literally no good reason to do so.

    Supporting the war and then admitting you were wrong is more honest than supporting the war and then lying about having supported it.
    So admitting you murdered thousands with your political power for cynical political gain will bring them back, I suppose? I have to admit that I was more of a Neal Boortz libertarian back in the early 2000s and said some supportive things about Bush's foreign policy at the time despite hating the guy, is Hillary Clinton better than me as well?

    You'll have to ask him.
    He won't answer, he never does.

    But, if he's like me, he's taking every opportunity to spread the truth about Trump, which many here still don't want to hear.
    It's not that they don't want to hear it, it's that they literally don't care...at all! You are free to waste your time because this is now an unstoppable force (we can agree on the fundamental problem of allowing idiots to vote, but that won't change this), but you'll forgive me if I do say so, as I'm a fairly big fan of telling it like it is myself.

    This topic provides a perfect segue, as both supported the wars in question.
    Who are you going to convince by taking this approach? This reeks more of preaching to the choir and antagonizing the opposition than anything else.

    Just to be clear, I'm not going to be voting for Hillary.

    Hillary is garbage. Trump is also Garbage, arguably of a slightly smellier variety.

    Regardless, I'll be voting Libertarian Party.

    So admitting you murdered thousands with your political power for cynical political gain will bring them back, I suppose?
    That doesn't follow from what I said.

    My point is quite simple, but I guess it must be repeated.

    Both supported the aforementioned murders, but Trump also lied about having done so.

    I have to admit that I was more of a Neal Boortz libertarian back in the early 2000s and said some supportive things about Bush's foreign policy at the time despite hating the guy, is Hillary Clinton better than me as well?
    Again, that doesn't follow from what I said.

    You aren't lying about having supported those policies, are you?

    It's not that they don't want to hear it, it's that they literally don't care...at all! You are free to waste your time because this is now an unstoppable force (we can agree on the fundamental problem of allowing idiots to vote, but that won't change this), but you'll forgive me if I do say so, as I'm a fairly big fan of telling it like it is myself.

    Any rational Trump supporters, which are admittedly few and far between.

    But I'm sure there are still a few who support Trump because they're unaware of his true positions.

    Outrage as war crimes prosecutors say Tony Blair will not be investigated over Chilcot's Iraq war report – but British soldiers could be


    Tony Blair: war crimes prosecutors say he won't face inquiry Credit: Brian Lawless/PRESS ASSOCIATION


    • Robert Mendick, Chief Reporter


    2 July 2016 • 9:15pm Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court will examine the Chilcot report for evidence of abuse and torture by British soldiers but have already ruled out putting Tony Blair on trial for war crimes, The Telegraph can disclose.
    The decision has outraged families of troops killed in Iraq who blame Mr Blair for engineering the war.
    Sir John Chilcot’s report will finally be published on Wednesday and is expected to strongly criticise Mr Blair’s role in the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
    But in an official statement to the Telegraph, the International Criminal Court (ICC) said its prosecutors would comb through the 2.3 million word report for evidence of war crimes committed by British troops but that decision to go to war remained outside its remit.
