Not trying to make a judgment of relative badness between what Clinton did and what General Dave did, but he took classified
documents from a secured facility and gave them to his lover so she could use them as source material for her writing.

When I take the annual refresher training to keep my security clearance active, that's on the "Don't-Bee" list not the "Do-Bee"
list.

He's killed a shit ton of Muslims. I think that's about the only thing him and ISIS have in common.

I'll gladly take another 4 years of President Obama over hrc17@ or tweeting racist Trump

Dubya gave birth to ISIS:

ISIS will be wiped out of Iraq, at least in terms of territory under ISIS control, by the time President Obama leaves office In January:

and Obama did it with minimal US troops.

Anyone who says "Barry ISIS" probably deserves to have their beagle drop kicked.

And what do you think happened to all the weapons and cash that was given to the "moderate" ( ) and "well vetted" ( ) rebel groups in Syria? Not taking into account the caches of weapons and ammo that were just, LITERALLY, dropped into the desert.

As for troop levels, authorized levels are now approaching 10,000 which is around the number that were stationed there before the SoFA was tossed into the can.

Anyone who thinks that the "generosity" of large donors isn't somehow reciprocated by the recipients of that largesse has the IQ of a moth.

It's how our current system works. I think once you get to the presidential level large donors aren't necessarily getting favors. Some people are willing to pay just for a picture and something to brag about to their friends.

It's already been expressed by several Hillary supporters in this forum that they are fine with quid pro quo as long as it is somewhat subtle and indirect rather than brazen and straight forward the way Blago did it. I think ltg basically said, "Catch her".

That's great for private businessmen like us. It's not when you're a "public servant". "Public servant" usually means someone who is serving his or herself the public's money with both hands.

re: ISIS

Obama bears responsibility for helping extend instability in the region; at least short term that's been a huge negative. Who knows what the long-term outcome of Arab spring will be.

And I don't think anyone anticipated ISIS coming together and taking over Iraq as quickly as they did once Obama drew down our troops. ISIS is being run by ex Iraqi military head honchos who saw Saddam Hussein take and keep power via inhumane brutality and violence, so it does parse more readily in retrospect

Obama hasn't gone back in with near the force I think you might've seen a Cheney-Halliburton strategy deploy. That seems to be working, at least for now. Going by the Wash Post dissection of the pending tribal/religious/etc conflicts that have been temporarily put on hold to take out ISIS--the real fun starts once ISIS disbands/dissolves/retreats-to-reform and those guys go join up with or form another movement to continue fighting the Kurds and Shia.

The Obama Administration's strange dance with Iran feels like a throwback to Nixon-Kissinger-Carter administration balance of power foreign relations--enlist Iran (90%+ Shia) to balance out the Sunni Saudis. I think fracking and the shale oil supply flowing steadily in the US puts us in a better position to piss off the Saudis with our Iran overtures than we were back then.

I can see the bad that can come from it but I think sometimes we act like politicians are supposed to be Jesus Robot. Without a public finance system that bans private money (I believe FDR proposed this) and term limits I really don't expect to see anything different.

Well the Marines have long been an arm of corporate America, and every Presidential "focus/study/planning" group of the last 100 yrs has worked under that system. I don't believe her choices would be ruinous or nearly as problematic in comparison w/the best of that history.

I firmly believe there is little if anything that can be done to practically end the system, I think it's naturally built in, except if (as under republicans) it means rolling blackouts, irrational farm subsidies or military related companies running amok. Or amoral use of our military
