The old Socialist inferred that we should dismantle our nuclear stockpile and transform our military into small and quick teams of Seals and Special Force types. Right. Dismantle our nuclear stockpile right after Obama gave the bomb to Iran? Both Hillary and Bernie echoed Obama's failed "lead from behind" policy.
Obama will be under a lot of pressure now from the Democrats to finally engage ISIS. Should he continue to refuse to engage, the American people will elect a Republican in order to have a President that will do his job. No American can possibly rely upon either Hillary or Bernie to be viable and strong Commander-in-Chiefs. America always turns to a Republican in matters of national defense.
Hillary Clinton stated last night that ISIS cannot be contained it needs to be destroyed. So your argument on this point is MUTE.
Since she was a HUGE player in getting Osama Biin Laden--I believe what she says. She is a HAWK when it comes to the defense of this nation. And she's actually more conservative than most people think she is. She used to be a Republican.
The Democrats' Hawk
Just what actually did she do to get Bin Laden? Gave the President her opinion? LOL!! What good did it actually do to get Bin Laden? Even George Bush said killing Bin Laden was not a priority because it would accomplish very little.
I wonder about that.
Politically, it got rid of AQ's most charismatic leader and left controll in the hands of a less enigmatic and somewhat sluggish bureaucrat type of leadership. This has created a vacuum in which lesser terrorist groups were able to take advantage of--undermining AQ need for someone like bin Laden to help attract fighters.
Also, let us not forget the bragging the bush administratin did for all the number 1's 2' and 3' they killed in Iraq. If killing the leader of an rganization was unimportant, why even mention these lesser leaders in AQ global.
In short, these terrorists organizations suffer frm political setback much much worst than entire nations. Their Ideology needs a powerful salesman to make their organization grow.
Killing Bin Laden exposed that. Thus, the war against terror organizations seems winnable. The problem left are the lone wolf terrorists, which is both a more complicated yet lesser problem in comparison.
