War Hawk Hillary


Why?  Didn't they just return 10 sailors without incident?  Weren't Iran sanctions just lifted?



Oh, yeah.  That.
Hours after the U.S. dropped sanctions on Iran as part of the nuclear deal, Democratic primary front-runner Hillary Clinton called for new sanctions on the nation for its ballistic missile program.

[...]

“Iran is still violating UN Security Council resolutions with its ballistic missile program, which should be met with new sanctions designations and firm resolve,” she said.

Clinton said, as president, her policy toward Iran would be to “distrust and verify."   
Because nothing says international trustworthiness like lifting sanctions according to a deal that was made and satisfied and then turning right around and slapping on more sanctions.
“The treatment of our Navy sailors earlier this week was offensive, including the release of demeaning and provocative videos,” she added, referring to the brief capture of 10 sailors who inadvertently crossed into Iranian waters.
Right. US sailors, caught navigating Iranian waters without permission, were arrested and released the following day. How humiliating and demeaning. What would the Queen have done with Iranian military personnel had the situation been reversed?

Why, take credit for muscle, of course.
Clinton also said the nuclear agreement marks an “important achievement of diplomacy” between Iran and the international community.

“Implementation marks an important step forward in preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,” she said. “Iran has dismantled centrifuges, disabled a reactor, and shipped out almost all of its enriched uranium.

“These are important steps that make the United States, our allies, and the entire world safer,” she added. “I congratulate President Obama and his team, and I’m proud of the role I played to get this process started.”
Christ, she's crap.




Dude, have you no faith in the American election system?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
