Its been quite obvious that Hillary's a hawk, but here's Ralph Nader publicly criticizing her. Darn, even our Noel Peace prize President is a hawk, who knew?
I've been consistently against the middle eastern wars. The only sense, in my opinion, is to let the muslims fight their civll wars on their own. Because you fight the wars, then there's nation building, & training troops that often just run away when things heat up or they take their training to kill Americans, chain our military with crazy PC rules that place their lives in danger, have them inspect roads when their leaders, safe in their bunkers just know that they're going to be exposed to road side bombs, & when you topple a dictator, what's the replacement? & when our brave men & women fight or interrogate correctly, there's a good chance they'll end up in a military prison. & when they return, wounded & war-torn, then comes the neglect from the corrupt VA, which gives our inept Congress something to have a hearing about but, doing what they always do, accomplishing nothing. Those at the top, making these decisions, only care about a transient feel-good moment, or profiteering.
Okay, off my high horse, back to Hillary.
Nader calls Hillary Clinton a "deep corporatist and a deep militarist." Additionally, he rationalizes her militarist nature on overcompensating for her gender. I'm sure we'll hear from the feminists.
Nader: "She almost singlehandedly did the Libyan war. The Defense Department was against it, [Secretary Robert] Gates, and she persuaded the White House that it was an easy topple without knowing that in a tribal society with nothing to replace it you would have a civil war, sectarian killings spilling into Africa, weapons everywhere, Mali, central Africa and she’s being accused of Benghazi – the big thing is the huge amount of geography that has been destabilized because of the Libyan overthrow."
Nader: “This is the problem of women trying to overcompensate in becoming more aggressive and macho so they are not accused of being soft on the need to kill and war, right? Instead of taking the tradition of women of peace, and turning into a muscular waging of peace of conflict and prevention, she [Clinton] did the reverse, and [Madeline] Albright did the reverse and Anne Marie Slaughter did the reverse and some of Obama’s advisers did the reverse. We have to be transcendent on this. We have to really go right to the core of what people are standing for, fighting for and fighting against.â€
