Clintonites Prepare for War on Syria

Neocons and Clintonites have launched a major campaign with the goal of direct US military intervention and aggression against Syria, potentially leading to war with Iran and Russia. An early indication emerged as soon as it was clear the Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic Party nominee. Following the California primary, the NY Times reported on State Department diplomats issuing an internal memo “urging the United States to carry out military strikes against the government of President Bashar al Assad.”

In early August Dennis Ross and Andrew Tabler opined in the NY Times about “The Case for (Finally) Bombing Assad”. Dennis Ross is a favorite Clintonite. In her book “Hard Choices”, Clinton described how she asked Dennis Ross to come to the State Department to “work on Iran and regional issues”.

NY Times regular Nicholas Kristof made his pitch for war against Syria. According to the self-styled humanitarian, we need “safe zones” as proposed by Clintonite Madeline Albright and retired General James Cartwright. That is risky but “the risks of doing nothing in Syria are even greater”.

What does Hillary covet in a Syria war? Who does it benefit?

These people are consistent in their acts for sure. What pipeline, pile of uranium, mines of gold or diamonds, slave trade port of 10 year old sex slaves, oil deposits, cache of weapons to resell, or hazelnut grove of trees does she have her dollar sign beady little crows footed eyes fixed on these days?

Call me crazy if you wish, but what I see here is something that was going to happen after Hillary won the WH. There is something in Syria, or that Syria (Bashar Assad) controls, and won’t play ball with the Clintons with, or on. Something the Clinton’s want to broker, or arrange for somebody who has a fistful of dollars they are waving under the Clinton’s noses.

Trump is apparently polling off public radar so well the Clinton’s, and those privy to whatever it is in Syria that the Clinton’s want to broker to whomever with the fistful of dollars are afraid he’s got this sewed up.

Hillary not getting the WH means they have to resort to plan B, which I think is what we are reading in this article.

Regardless there is some reason the Clinton’s want Assad out of Syria, and want him out while they have something to say about it. Just a guess.

I bet if you run a spreadsheet of donations ranked highest to lowest to the Clinton Foundation, you can pretty much map out the first year of a Clinton Administration's initiatives and actions.

Year two is a whole nuther sales cycle.

Sickening. How can liberals / democrats stand themselves? They are and became everything they claimed to hate twenty years ago. It's absolutely nutz. Their heads cannot be working at all? Good is bad. Bad is good. Right is wrong. Liberty and rights are bad. Rules, regulations, and authority is good. Questioning it is bad. Freedom of speech is bad.

What the hell has happened to liberals? They are now fascists and seem to like it?

That sickly, dizzy idiot, Clintoon, is going to take us to war with Syria? Looks like we’ll be seeing a whole slew of Benghazis. If I was military, I wouldn’t trust the b*tch and her band of sissy boy snowflakes.

Very good point! Hillary may have cashed some checks a little too soon and spent the money. Those people who paid $400,000,000 to their foundation expect something in return.

They don't play nice if they paid for government that wasn't hers to sell?

Ruh Roh!

"Member of Congress berates Obama for consulting Congress on Syria"

Exactly! The article headline is a little misleading, but maintains the trend of nutz.
