My new video on Hillary's plans to continue "the Long War" in the Middle East to preserve access to their oil reserves. Sources follow the video.

Rand Corporation Paper for US Army: "Unfolding the Future of The Long War" (2008)

The geographic area of proven oil reserves coincides with the power base of much of the Salafi-jihadist network. This creates a linkage between oil supplies and the long war that is not easily broken or simply characterized... For the foreseeable future, world oil production growth and total output will be dominated by Persian Gulf resources... The region will therefore remain a strategic priority, and this priority will interact strongly with that of prosecuting the long war."

Divide and Rule focuses on exploiting fault lines between the various

Salafi-jihadist groups to turn them against each other and dissipate their energy on internal conflicts. This strategy relies heavily on covert action, information operations (IO), unconventional warfare, and support to indigenous security forces

[T]he United States should use decisive conventional military force to change the regime in certain key Muslim countries and impose democracy in its place. T

The Afghan war had already cost almost $1 trillion (less than the $1.7 trillion spent on Iraq, but still staggering).

"In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them," she said.

“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m president, we will attack Iran. In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.”

Hillary Clinton defends her policy of regime change in Libya and Syria. "You know, there's always these historical games you can play," she explained. "If somebody could have assassinated Hitler before he took over Germany, would that have been a good thing or not?"

Syria

No Fly Zone – 10/1/2015

“I personally would be advocating now for a no-fly zone and humanitarian corridors to try to stop the carnage on the ground and from the air, to try to provide some way to take stock of what’s happening, to try to stem the flow of refugees,” Clinton said in an interview with NBC affiliate WHDH in Boston after a campaign event nearby.

Hillary Rather be "Caught Trying"

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/28/us/politics/hillary-clinton-libya.html...

Anne-Marie Slaughter, her director of policy planning at the State Department, notes that in conversation and in her memoir, Mrs. Clinton repeatedly speaks of wanting to be “caught trying.” In other words, she would rather be criticized for what she has done than for having done nothing at all.

“She’s very careful and reflective,” Ms. Slaughter said. “But when the choice is between action and inaction, and you’ve got risks in either direction, which you often do, she’d rather be caught trying.”

Hillary on Russia and Putin

http://www.newsweek.com/where-do-clinton-and-trump-stand-russia-487777

Clinton in 2008 repeatedly warned Republican President George W. Bush that he should be wary of basing foreign policy on his personal relationship with Putin, and in 2014 she compared Putin to Adolf Hitler. During her current campaign, she took a long pause when asked about her relationship with Putin, before calling it “interesting” and branding him “a bully.” She is keen to maintain U.S. sanctions on his inner circle and to persuade the EU to do so as well.
