"The phrase 'active shooter' should not be one we have to teach our children. But it is." Hillary in Minneapolis

(39,909 posts)also admitted that during the Clinton Administration, the Clinton Sanctions (which she approved) killed over 1/2 MILLION Iraqi children.
When questioned about it by Diane Sawyer, Albright admitted that, Yes. The Clinton Sanctions
killed over 500,000 Iraqi children....but "It was worth it."
I do NOT want an endorsement from ANYONE who believes that killing 500,000 CHILDREN is "worth it,", and I can't believe ANYBODY could be so callous about 1/2Million Dead Children.
I don't want that blood on MY hands.

The point here--> @HillaryClinton sees the big picture - taking on not just ISIS but also the broader radical jihadist movement. - LMR

Big differences on display here. Reckless and dangerous rhetoric versus leadership and command of the issues. -LMR

That's the thing these Republicans don't seem to get: ISIS /wants/ a clash of civilizations. It's a recruitment tool for them. -LMR

Here are the five main points of Clinton's speech

(9,148 posts)If a candidate cannot talk about this issue with the intellect of Hillary Clinton, then just say good bye now.
Hillary just proved she's the smartest & most informed common sense candidate in the 2016 race.

(9,148 posts)..there's only one other DEM Candidate who will step up to address this issue.
And the other avoids the issue of critical foreign policy like the plague. Wonder why???
Thanks riversedge. Appreciate the play-by-play. Thanks for taking the time to do so.
I followed your postings here at work. Kudos
