(full headline) New Nation, Long War:Hillary Clinton’s State Department Gave South Sudan’s Military a Pass for Its Child Soldiers

Met a few of them in the town of Pibor last year. These battle-tested veterans had just completed two or three years of military service. They told me about the rigors of a soldier’s life, about toting AK-47s, about the circumstances that led them to take up arms. In the United States, not one of these soldiers would have met the age requirements to enlist in the Army. None were older than 16.

Rebel forces in southern Sudan began using child soldiers long before seceding from Sudan in 2011. The United States, on the other hand, passed a law in 2008 that banned providing military assistance to nations that use child soldiers. The law was called the Child Soldiers Prevention Act, or CSPA, but after South Sudan’s independence, the White House issued annual waivers that kept aid flowing to the world’s newest nation despite its use of child soldiers. President Obama stated in 2012 that the waiver that year was in “the national interest of the United States.”

Course Hillary and the Foundation profited from her actions....but we must demand that govt appointees like Hillary not use the American taxpayers to advance the foreign policy of a foreign govt.

In fact, and existing provision in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)is intended to prevent United States citizens and companies being used as instrumentalities of a foreign government's foreign policy.

“”President Obama stated in 2012 that the waiver that year was in “the national interest of the United States.”””

His favorite mantra..if it’s bad for the U. S. and the
U. S. taxpayers, it’s in OUR national interest!! His interest is in doing as much damage as possible before leaving town. But I guess he’s not going to leave DC - likes it so much, he wants to hang around!

I sure hope Hillary’s made enough enemies and enough people have seen through her shenanigans who can expose her that all this just keeps piling up....Trump can use it to great advantage! DRIP! DRIP! Each and every day!
