Hillary Clinton supported all of America’s imperial wars: Writer
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is “a war goddess” who has supported all of the United States’ “imperial wars from Afghanistan, to Iraq, to Libya, to Syria,” says Stephen Lendman, an American writer, journalist and political commentator.
Speaking at a campaign rally on Friday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Clinton warned about the consequences of her Republican rival Donald Trump winning the race for the White House.
She said Trump is likely to start a war if elected, possibly because he felt insulted by another nation.
“Imagine how easily it could be that Donald Trump will feel insulted and start a real war, not just a Twitter war at 3 o’clock in the morning,” Clinton said.
Lendman told Press TV on Saturday it is hard to imagine that “anyone would believe anything most politicians in America have to say, especially outrageous ones like Hillary Clinton.”
He said Clinton is “known absolutely as a war goddess [for] supporting all of America’s imperial wars throughout all of her time in public life, going back to the 1990s, what I call the Clinton Co. presidency, which is what it was, from Balkan Wars ending with the rape of Yugoslavia in 1999.”
“She was personally involved in orchestrating war on Libya, and Syria, and now she accuses Trump, a businessman, a billionaire businessman, never held a public office, of threatening war if he is elected. There’s nothing to indicate that he is threatening war against anybody,” the analyst said.
In March 2011, a coalition of US-backed Western countries, including the UK and France, launched missile and air strikes on Libya in a bid to help oust Muammar Gaddafi following an uprising.
Gaddafi was deposed later that year shortly after the fall of the capital Tripoli on August 20.
Following Gaddafi‘s death Clinton – then US secretary of state – appeared on TV and announced: “We came, we saw, he died.”
But the ensuing power vacuum allowed various militant groups, including a Daesh affiliate, to gain power in the country and exploit its natural resources.
Nearly five years after the overthrow of Gaddafi, Libya has become almost a failed state, with the central government holding no sway over the country.
