Hillary Clinton’s vote to authorize the Iraq War haunted her on the campaign trail. It put her in stark contrast with then-Senator Barack Obama, who touted his foresight in opposing the ill-fated war.
President Obama was deeply wary of another military venture in a Muslim country. Most of his senior advisers were telling him to stay out. Still, he dispatched Mrs. Clinton to sound out Mr. Jibril, a leader of the Libyan opposition.
Defense secretary, Robert Gates, later say that in a “51-49” decision, it was Mrs. Clinton’s support that put the ambivalent president over the line.The consequences would be more far-reaching than anyone imagined, leaving Libya a failed state and a terrorist haven.
Clinton joined Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and right-wing Israelis to try to isolate, even defeat, Iran. In 2010, she supported secret negotiations between Israel and Syria to attempt to wrest Syria from Iran’s influence. Then the CIA and Clinton pressed successfully for Plan B: to overthrow Assad.
When the unrest of the Arab Spring broke out in early 2011, the CIA and the anti-Iran front of Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey saw an opportunity to topple Assad quickly and thereby to gain a geopolitical victory. Clinton became the leading proponent of the CIA-led effort at Syrian regime change.
So what do we have here. We are fighting in Libya and Syria, a no man's Land but the terrorists.
what kind of Foreign policy experience does Hillary have?
