I'm sure we all know how Hillary Clinton threw President Obama under the bus, then turned the bus around and ran over him again. No big deal, as far as I'm concerned. If that's the nature of their relationship, it is what it is. But Clinton continues to insist she was right about Syria, that we should have intervened, and it sounds very much as if we're going into Syria when she becomes president. She is advocating so forcefully for "doing something" that it sounds almost like a promise. I will be very surprised if we don't establish a no-fly zone, and I will be equally surprised if our planes don't tangle with Russian planes. Well, won't that be fun?

1. And Iran if she gets her way.

7. You beat me to it.

2. Absolutely. You know why?

Pipeline Iraqi oil through Syria to the Med saves shipping costs and eliminates threat of Iran choking off oil supply when she starts a war with them.

3. the pipeline they want is for natural gas

The Gulf kingdoms have a ton of it and the direct route goes right through Syria.

Part of the equation is that this is a geopolitical move against Russia - if the Gulf can more cheaply get its gas to Europe, that undermines Russian leverage.

4. and the war monger from vermont will be right there voting to pay for it, having never met a war he

he would like to stop enough to vote no on funding

6. Which Democrat is the peace candidate?

That's the one I want.

5. Yes, neocon Hillary will advance PNAC's agenda.

PNAC is "officially" defunct, but the agenda isn't.
