Clinton: No troops in Syria, US must welcome refugees
NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Thursday to keep American troops out of Syria, saying in a sweeping foreign policy address she would resist sending forces to fight Islamic State militants even if there were an attack within the U.S.
Offering a detailed assessment of the conflict in Syria, the Democratic presidential front-runner said America must lead the effort to fight against IS but called on Arab nations to supply much of the military force on the ground.
During a question-and-answer session, Clinton was asked if the pressure to send in U.S. ground troops to Syria would be “unstoppable” if another terror attack were to occur in the U.S.
“It would certainly grow, but I think it would be a mistake,” she said, noting her support for sending in more U.S. special forces, empowering U.S. trainers in Iraq and the use of an air coalition in the region. “Right now we need to keep the pressure on the people on the ground and get them to change their priorities and work together.” SOURCE
Hillary Clinton does not bow to pressure. She also doesn’t support anyone in dire need of help, rescue or backup, and lest I be remiss in my duty, she is a vile old BITCH and is as close to being certifiably insane as is Barack Hussein Obama.
Hillary Clinton, if elected, would only be an extension of the Obama debacle and would take this nation all the way down with a disastrous civil war.
Speaking just before her primary rival Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was set to address the conflict, Clinton urged Americans to overcome partisan battles and rise above personal fear to combat the threat of jihadism across the globe.
Well golly-darn Hillary, we have seen YOUR brand of leadership, and yes, fear does remain. If there’s no danger why haven’t we seen your daughter, Chelsea Clinton enter the Foreign Service?
“Turning away orphans, applying a religious test, discriminating against Muslims, slamming the door on every Syrian refugee, that is just not who we are. We are better than that,” she said.
Hillary; how is it we seem to have millions, if not billions of dollars to take care of these orphans, widows and refugee males that mostly look like big models for a body-building magazine?
How is it that we can, according to Hillary Clinton, and at least some of the Democrats, take care of these people and not provide for our military veterans that are sick, injured, hungry, homeless and suffering from PTSD?
Hours later, the Republican-led House ignored a veto threat from President Barack Obama and approved a bill mandating fresh barriers for Syrian and Iraqi refugees trying to enter the country. The bill passed on a 289-13 vote with enough Democratic support to override a potential veto and came despite White House officials lobbying members of their party to oppose the proposal.
I was surprised to see that many Democrats standing in direct opposition to Barack Hussein Obama and his VETO threat if the House passed a bill to stop the importation of thousands of refugees that are fully expected to be at least infiltrated by 10% with jihadists and terrorists.
I have seen some say that these Dems were only pandering because there is an election year coming up. Well, is the GOP pandering too, for the same reasons?
I would seriously like to believe that these legislators are doing the RIGHT thing for America and the American people. I may be wrong, they may BE pandering, but I sure hope it’s about taking care of America 1st.
The United States is already thoroughly infested with the Muslim and all of the pestilence, hatred and violence we can stand. Islam is not the religion of peace and we, the American people, will be getting reminders, up close and personal reminders of that very soon.
Like you, I hope beyond hope that the Democrats are finally taking a stand against Obama’s insane ideas, even if only on an issue or two.
Someone suggested today that if the Senate mans up and passes the bill, and Obama vetoes it, some Dems will be likely to be pulled back into the fold.
Time will tell.
At some point, even Democrats have to realize that Obama cares not at all for the security of their constituents. That ought to make a difference to decent people.
I honestly believe there is sheer insanity running through Obama.. He’s not stupid but he is a delusional psychopath that is dangerous to all around him..
I have a lot of trouble defining him. You can certainly make the case that he isn’t very smart; why would a smart person want to “fundamentally transform” the most successful nation on Earth? On the other hand, he is smart enough to have engineered the disemboweling of the greatest country on Earth.
He is totally controlled by his poisonous ideology, and that argues against innate intelligence, for a truly smart person doesn’t fall victim to a narrow set of ideals.
His high level of petulance and “third-grader” response to the mildest forms of opposition do not support the idea of a mature intellect.
Delusional works for me. He is certainly under the control of a set of ideas that have failed everywhere they have been tried.
Well now she has something in common with her husband.. Bill (Monica)Clinton had a couple of opportunities to whack UBL, but his nuts withdrew deep within his scrotum.They are both gutless and make John Gotti look like a prince..
God help us all..
There’s a mental pic I’ll have a hard time getting out… 🙁
Override the devil’s veto or not what will this bill accomplish? We will get these refugees whether it is next week or next month when all this horse shit cools off. As for vetting, it’s just another word rendered meaningless by both the left and the right.
Yeah, you’re probably right… I think I’ll just start posting pics of cats, and puppies and shit… No point in blogging and working my ass off in doing so if all I get is negative rhetoric now is there..
What kind of kittens would look good with this color scheme?
I want to scream from the top of my lungs. Don’t any of these so called leaders read? Shit, if I can read about the koran, hadith, Sira or the reliance of the traveler then so can they. Ketchup boy is a lunatic. When he shot himself in the foot in Nam, he obviously suffered brain damage. b.o. is attacking not just the republicans but every patriotic American in the country. I think the votes against his policy on the refugee issue are a sign that they feel that they may have bitten off more than they can chew. I sense FEAR in that vote and I hope the senate follows through in the same spirit. Dingy Harry already voiced his disgust with the house vote. Says he won’t bring it to the floor till after the Thanksgiving break. Where the fuck is Mitch?
There is no winning, only losing, with Democrats in power.
And even if there are no Dems, many in the GOP aren’t a lot better, but you have to admit; they all stood together against Obama on this one…
Can’t Understand Normal Thinking.
Put the 4 capital letters together and this is what Hillary is.
What good is a bill if refugees are already pouring in? Obama’s going to ignore it anyway. Christie was on Fox news last night saying there were already seventy-five refugees from Syria that NJ didn’t even know about.
