Like this is news? Hillary was proudly strutting her NeoCon colors just last week. And that was just the latest installment.
During her tenure as secretary of state, from the inside, she argued consistently—usually in alliance with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates—for polices that were almost universally more hawkish than President Obama seemed to favor, sometimes succeeding in getting her way and sometimes not. She backed the 2009 escalation of the war in Afghanistan, argued for vastly increased US military aid to the insurgents in Syria, and was the leading administration advocate for forcible regime change in Libya. More recently, as reported by Bob Dreyfuss’s Nation blog, she broke with the Obama administration’s Iran policy, joining Israel’s Likud government and neoconservatives in the United States in supporting a zero-enrichment policy aimed at shutting down production of non–weapons grade uranium enriched to just 5 percent.
But now, with her interview in The Atlantic with Jeffrey Goldberg, a staunch advocate for Israel and a neocon fellow traveler, she’s thrown down the gauntlet, openly ridiculing Obama’s cautious approach to world affairs. For those who’ve followed her career, at least since the 1990s, it seems to be a case of Clinton being Clinton, allowing her natural proclivity for hawkishness in foreign affairs to mingle with her political opportunism. Not wishing to let herself be outflanked on the right by hawks—who’ll rev up the Benghazi non-scandal against her in 2016 and who are conducting a nationwide propaganda campaign to blame Obama’s judicious caution for the world’s ills—Clinton has made a fateful decision to go on the offensive. In so doing, she’ll open the door for even harsher Republican criticism, starting a race to the bottom—or to the far right—on foreign policy. Just wait until 2016.
This clip takes the cake.:

As ridiculous as the Libertarian Man is, he’s right about Hillary. And her excuse for voting for war was classic Hillary. A Democrat getting labelled as a war hawk by a libertarian. Kinda funny, almost.

Rand Paul is doing Hillary a political favor. Her main polling challenge is toward her right and that would be her challenge in a General Election, particularly on perceptions among many independents that Democrats are willing enough to use force.

People who wear a bird nest for a hat shouldn’t complain when they find poo in it.

And this is why Senator Paul is putting together legislation to repeal the AUMF and gathering co-sponsors…
Wait, he isn’t?

Old Scandals?
You mean like last month, when she was burnishing her NeoCon Cred?
The Next Act of the Neocons
Are Neocons Getting Ready to Ally With Hillary Clinton?
Even as they castigate Mr. Obama, the neocons may be preparing a more brazen feat: aligning themselves with Hillary Rodham Clinton and her nascent presidential campaign, in a bid to return to the driver’s seat of American foreign policy.
This isn’t about scandals, it’s about her policy positions.
I know, I know. Look Forward. Never mind what Hillary said last month. That’s ancient history.

Hopefully there’s going to be more choices out there.

Hillary is a war hawk? Does that mean that McCain and Graham will support her in 2016?
This does soften the “Democrats are weak on defense” issue that has been used for decades.

“I have been often to I guess the mothership in NYC. But it’s good to have an outpost of the council right here down the street from the State Department. We get a lot of advice from the council so this will mean I won’t have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future.” - Hillary Clinton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba9wxl1Dmas
“To be told what we should be doing” Does this not indicate that the Federal government is told by CFR what foreign policy to pursue and that Hillary seems complicit?
Cecil Rhodes, a Rothschilds pawn who founded Rhodesia (DeBiers Diamonds), the Rhodes Scholarship (Bill Clinton = Rhodes scholar), and Council on Foreign Relations that Hillary refers to. She said that CFR tells the State Department “what we should be doing” and she seems anxious to please them. Last I checked both William Clinton and Richard Cheney are standing members of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Also interesting to note that both Obama and Hillary campaigned in England to court the other half of the NY / London banking cartels that will destroy Greece or Detroit to make a buck for themselves.
Got democracy?
No fan of Paul, but the war / banking machine is wasting trillions of dollars that could be used towards peace, energy, education infrastructure etc. which would be far cheaper, and promote possible longer survival of the human species.

Aqua Buddha sure seems to have some deep fascination with Hillary doesn’t he? His is the event horizon of Hillary Derangement Syndrome.
I’d dearly love to see the both of them in a live debate, he’d absolutely blow his Depends out.

So how do you plan to waste your 2016 vote?

You seem to be unable to discuss Hillary’s actual statements and policy positions, preferring to cut and paste more drivel about “derangement syndrome”.
Good luck with that technique going towards 2016.

Funny is watching libertarians vex individualism and consensus.

Gee. I don’t know…there are so many choices!
Either a Democrat who wants more wars and trade deals that undermine our economy, or a Republican who wants more wars and trade deals that undermine our economy.
This is going to take some serious thought.
