Clinton’s Syria Strategy Would ‘Require’ War With Russia, Congress Hears
Daily Caller ^ | Sep 26, 2016 | Russ Read

Posted on 10/16/2016 3:28:12 PM PDT by Ray76

(Sep 26, 2016) Instituting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s no-fly zone in Syria would require going to war, according to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford’s warning came while he was answering questions from Republican Sen. Roger Whicker of Mississippi while testifying before the Senate Committee on Armed Services Thursday.

“Right now, Senator, for us to control all of the airspace in Syria it would require us to go to war, against Syria and Russia,” said Dunford.

A video of that statement and the video of Clinton calling for “a no-fly zone” over Syria during the second debate, together with Jill Stein's statement that Hillary would start a nuclear war, and you have an ad like no other since the election 1964.

And that would make bimbos and rappers totally irrelevant.

Hasn’t all-out war been Hillary’s goal ever since she took over the State Department? It took a real effort to deteriorate the situation in Syria, and she is not going to give up that progress towards widespread war.

What I do not understand is what she hopes to accomplish with warmongering. Does she genuinely believe that living in her posh fortified neighborhood will protect her from the mayhem she wishes to visit on the rest of us with her warmongering and importation of jihadists?

Yet, John Bolton, who I respect, thinks we need to take measures? WTF? What exactly has Russia done to interfere in our elections? To me that is just Obama BS.

If we initiated any kind of hostilities with the Russians, even if they didn't directly retaliate, I suspect we would see a big upswing in "lone wolf" terrorism here and against American facilities around the world. With a little "facilitation" by the Russkis, of course.

The Benghazi Debacle, and Clinton’s Role in Arming Jihadists in Libya and Syria

Throughout 2012, violent jihadist activity became increasingly commonplace in the city of Benghazi and elsewhere throughout Libya and North Africa. American personnel at the U.S. mission in Benghazi repeatedly asked the Clinton State Department for increased security provisions during 2012, but all of these requests were either denied or ignored.25

On the night of September 11, 2012, a large group of heavily armed Islamic terrorists attacked the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi with great violence.26 In the process, they killed the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans.

For weeks thereafter, Mrs. Clinton and the rest of the Obama administration continued to characterize what had occurred on September 11 in Benghazi not as a carefully orchestrated act of terrorism, but as a spontaneous uprising that evolved unexpectedly from what had begun as a low-level protest against an obscure YouTube video.

For the administration, it was vital to continue putting forth this false narrative because, with the presidential election only a few weeks away, nothing could be permitted to puncture the Obama-Clinton talking points: “Al Qaeda is on the run” and “Osama bin Laden is dead.”27

In reality, however, within mere hours after the September 11 attack, U.S. intelligence agencies had already gained more than enough evidence to conclude unequivocally that it was a planned terrorist incident, and that the YouTube video had nothing whatsoever to do with it.28

On January 23, 2013 — fully 134 days after the September 11 attack in Benghazi — Mrs. Clinton went before Congress to testify as to what she knew about the incident. At one point in the hearing, Senator Rand Paul asked her whether the United States had ever been involved in procuring weapons in Libya and transferring them to other countries including Syria. Clinton replied, “I do not know. I have no information on that.”29

But a March 25, 2013 New York Times story subsequently indicated that the Obama administration had in fact been sending arms from Libya, through intermediary nations and ultimately to Syria, since early 2012. And another Times article described Mrs. Clinton as one of the driving forces who had called for arming the Syrian rebels (who were fighting Syrian President Assad) in precisely that manner.30 In other words, Clinton had lied in her congressional testimony to Rand Paul.
It should be noted that the Syrian rebels whom Clinton and Obama were aiding consisted of Islamic jihadists, many of whom were affiliated with Al Qaeda. In July 2016, Julian Assange of Wikileaks revealed that a batch of hacked DNC emails contained information proving that Clinton, contrary to what she had said in her congressional testimony in 2013, knew as early as 2011 that the U.S. was sending arms from Libya to jihadists in Syria.31

And in October 2016, a Fox News report indicated that Obama and Clinton had also arranged for the provision of weapons to radical jihadists in Libya.32

In September 2014, former Deputy Secretary of State Raymond Maxwell reported that in late 2012 he had witnessed — in the basement of the State Department’s headquarters — a Sunday meeting in which Cheryl Mills (Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff) and Jake Sullivan (Clinton’s deputy chief of staff) were overseeing and directing staffers who were busy purging documents that might implicate Clinton or her top people in the Benghazi attacks.33

But hey, who cares? At least Mrs. Clinton never engaged in crude, private trash talk that was recorded on tape. And all of her disparaging, condescending, hate-soaked, fiction-laced denunciations of her political rivals are delivered in measured, solemn, well-rehearsed tones. And she deeply respects women, including: (a) the Libyan and Syrian women whose lives were destroyed by the jihadists whom Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama supported, and (b) the wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters of the four Americans who were slaughtered by jihadists in Benghazi.

They have been beating the war drums on Russia for some time now - and just may fo the Mother of all WAG THE DOG wars = it’s a Clinton strategy to cover up scandals with their names on them...do Kosovo and Bosnia ring a bell?

If they think they will lose - they may start before the election - then Martial Law, no election and Congress dead in the water.

Even if we win, they have until the inauguration to do it.

We live in perilous times - with raw evil afoot.
they have been spreading propaganda on Russia for months, including now with ‘Russia did the hacking” with NO evidence...

Here, they out and out threaten Russia with war - it’s a war NO ONE can win - especially US with our decimated military.... they cite against Russia with things like agreeing with Brexit - ie, country sovereignty - .. He is also death on the NWO, kicked NWO, Rothschild and Soros our of Russia - and put an International arrest warrant on them. (Soros is the power behind Hillary and Obama - he’d LOVE war with Russia - and he doesn’t give a rats rump if it destroys us...

Hey, Republican administrations successfully employed no-fly zones. It’s not fair that Barack Dumbass can’t have his if he wants it. /sarc

The witch is a true believer in Agenda 21 and hates us. So why not have a big war, it would likely kill off a large percent of the world. She figures she and her spawn would easily survive with the entire resources of the US to ensure it.

We’ll have to update that...

It’s just another fake narrative that Obama and his puppet, Hillary, are pushing to justify war with Russia.....they will also be fighting on the side of ISIS.
However, the Sugar Daddy Saudis must be satisfied.
They want Syria so they can run a pipeline through.

Obama and Clinton should be hung for treason.

Pretty crazy, since it was the Soros-supported Obama administration that has been helping the Russians regain superpower status. The O admin, not only handed Putin everything that he wanted on all-important missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal, which Putin loves and claims to have played a major role in, he (Obama) practically took apart our military. So don’t fall for the smoke and mirrors BS coming from the Russians, or this administration. Facts are facts...
