Clinton backs decision to send US commandos into Syria
http://bigstory.ap.org/d61d39c06c1f46f8b3677e2b4a30369b&utm_source=android_app&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=shareIt's not a surprise. It is a sign of what we can expect from Hillary if she were POTUS.
More war, more war, more war.
She has learned nothing from the last 14 years of US war.
----------------------------------------------
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton supports the decision by President Barack Obama to deploy a small number of special operations forces to northern Syria to work with local ground forces in the fight against Islamic State militants.
Campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement that Clinton "sees merit in the targeted use of special operations personnel." He added that Clinton also strongly "supports ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the conflict."
But, he said, she opposes the U.S. entering a larger ground war in the Middle East to combat the rise of Islamic militants.
As secretary of State, Clinton advocated for a more aggressive U.S. role in the Syrian conflict. Earlier this month, she called for a no-fly zone over the area, a move the administration opposes.
Clinton's main challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, said through a spokesman that he has "concern about the United States being drawn into the quagmire of the Syrian civil war which could lead to perpetual warfare in that region." Sanders reiterated in the statement that he believes the "crisis in Syria will be solved diplomatically, not militarily."

Stupid fucking question.
If I wasn't an empathetic person I would respond in kind to your deeply personal and vicious attack but being the empathetic person that I am I can see you are still working your way through Elisabeth Kubler Ross' Five Stages Of Grief and are still in the Anger Stage.
As an empathetic person I will be there for you every step pf the way, all the way to the final stage which is Acceptance.
