As I have said on many occasions…..2016 will be the foreign policy election……there are few issues more important than our place in this world.

I have spent a bit of time criticizing the GOP candidates for their outlandish stands when it comes to foreign policy…….so to be fair I will write about the Democratic candidates and their policies concerning the US and the world.

First let us travel to the North African country of Libya…..and the recent “revolt” against the “Madman of the Middle East”, Qaddafi…..

At the time of the revolt Clinton was the Sec. of State of the US and had a hand in the destruction and deaths in Libya.  Few want to admit that the revolt was lead by the CIA through their proxy, Gen. Haftar, who had been on the payroll since the mid 1980’s.

The revolt was never about the “Arab Spring” movement but rather a desire “to get” Qadafi since the days of Reagan…..the Arab Spring just gave the US the opening they needed to finish off the leader.

Contrary to Hillary Clinton’s statements in the most recent Democratic debate, Muammar Gaddafi was not “deposed.” He was tortured and murdered, very likely by Islamists allied with NATO forces. The “radical elements” that are causing “a lot of turmoil and trouble” in “this arc of instability” are, in fact, Islamists whom Clinton picked as allies in the region, and she has pressed to supply them with arms in Syria as well as Libya. She really rates mention as an American mover of the “instability” in the region second only to Bush and Cheney. The fact that neither candidate opposing Clinton in the primaries had a word to say about any of this — that they were comprehensively uninformed about the NATO action in Libya and its aftermath — points to an enduring weakness in the disposition and political temper of almost all Democratic politicians of any note.

Now the most pressing issue in these days before the election is ISIS…..we have heard what almost every GOP candidate has had to say about the way to handle this barbaric group….but what about the Democrats especially Mrs. Clinton?

Every candidate that is running for their party’s, no matter then party,  nomination is offering nothing that would stand them out as anything but a neo-liberal.  Not one plan offers anything beyond “doing the some things” we are doing now…..and that has not got us any closer to the promised defeat of ISIS.
