You can’t be anti-war and vote for Hillary

If you really want to vote for Hillary and you’re anti-war, or at least anti-stupid-war, perhaps you shouldn’t read any further. I don’t know how you could support her candidacy after watching this. (Not to mention her successful push for regime change in Libya and her continued push for toppling Syria—and with all of the death and destruction that that brought about.)

Ex-CIA Director Michael Morell said in an interview Monday (immediately after endorsing Mrs. Clinton) that U.S. policy in Syria should be to make Iran and Russia “pay a price” by arming local groups and instructing them to kill Iranian and Russian personnel in the country. (The Intercept)

And I really want to know. Is this not Dr. Strangelove territory?

Will Mrs. Clinton disavow these comments and his endorsement? Will anyone in the media ask her? I won’t hold my breath. You’ll see below that she’s touting his endorsement on social media.

Morell: “Just like we made the Russians pay a price in Afghanistan”
Rose: “By supporting mujahideen?”
Morell: “Yes!”

Hillary Clinton seemed pretty excited:

p.s.

Surely I don’t even have to explain how reckless comments about making “the Russians pay a price,” are? Risking stirring up hostilities with a nuclear power. A nation who, I don’t know, would be good to have as an ally against ISIS…Do we remember that Russia and Iran are much closer physically to this region than we are in the U.S.?
