Et tu, Hillary?

Hillary Clinton has joined the bandwagon of neocons, war lovers and American exceptionalists piling on President Obama for the 'restraint' he's shown in foreign affairs. Clinton senses that it's good politics for her upcoming presidential bid to project bellicose toughness whether expanding NATO to Russia's doorstep in Ukraine, arming and enabling Israeli genocide in Gaza, supporting Syrian rebels, and now resuming the bombing and destruction in Iraq.  Her recent cheap shot at Obama: “Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle.” should make us all tremble at her getting control of our out of control war machinery.  Clinton voted for our criminal, failed Iraq war and never repudiated her vote or apologized for helping create millions of dead, injured or displaced Iraqis, as well as hundreds of thousands of dead and damaged American canon fodder. While the neocons, war lovers and American exceptionalists would still prefer a more bloodthirsty war monger like every GOP presidential hopeful except Rand Paul, they take heart that a likely Hillary presidency will keep the money pouring into war party coffers and the blood pouring out of the people they hate. Clinton doesn't have the courage or the humanity to repulse the war party on her quest to be the first woman president. It's ironic that her quest involves channeling the worst impulses in the male species.
