Emails Show Hillary Clinton Aides Celebrating F-15 Sales to Saudi Arabia

[Alcina Dimitrescu 1,157]

The shockingly brutal Saudi air campaign in Yemen has been led by American-made F-15 jet fighters.

The indiscriminate bombing of civilians and rescuers from the air has prompted human rights organizations to claim that some Saudi-led strikes on Yemen may amount to war crimes. At least 2,800 civilians have been killed in the conflict so far, according to the United Nations — mostly by airstrikes. The strikes have killed journalists and ambulance drivers.

The planes, made by Boeing, have been implicated in the bombing of three facilities supported by Doctors Without Borders (Médicins Sans Frontières). The U.N. Secretary General has decried “intense airstrikes in residential areas and on civilian buildings in Sanaa, including the chamber of commerce, a wedding hall, and a center for the blind,” and has warned that reports of cluster bombs being used in populated areas “may amount to a war crime due to their indiscriminate nature.”

Bombs dropped by fighter jets are pulverizing Yemen’s architectural history, possibly in violation of international humanitarian law.

A few years earlier, as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton made weapons transfer to the Saudi government a “top priority,” according to her closest military aide.

well done Hillary

still the best candidate

D*ck Van Dyke said it best (edit: and is immediately proven correct by the poster above me). The emperor has no clothes, meaning: it takes next to no time at all to realize that Hillary practices nothing close to what she inconsistently preaches.

Saudi Arabia? Really? Explain to me what Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Peaceful stance that weapons sales and proliferation to one of the worst state actors on the world stage supports?

ahhhhhh. I see it now:

"As weapons transfers were being approved, both the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Boeing made donations to the Clinton Foundation."

Her corruption and money interests truly know no bounds.

Can't with this perpetual never-ending anti-Hillary bias in the media

[JevyDuty 2,961]

So wait a minute, Hillary's aides were celebrating a multi-billion weapons sales that was used, years later, in a war that bad things happened. Woopty Doo!! Stop stretching. It was a business transaction.

The rest of the world already knew. Just like we know Bush sold weapons to Isis.

Woopty do? Weapons sales to Saudi Arabia? I'll ask my question again:

Obama was the best candidate yet he did very bad things. I say that no matter how good are you, the government will change you anyways. Wont vote for Hillary, tho. Just saying.

We have a clear opportunity here. Obama, as great as he has been in many ways, was still beholden to special interests and the big banks through campaign finance and that brought out some weak and poor outcomes to important issues.

Bernie and he share much of the same vision, but Bernie does NOT have the influence of special interests and big money and actively fights against those lobbyists and interests.

It's an important distinction, because when you have two candidates saying they want to discontinue private prisons in America, but one of them takes fundraising money from private prison lobbyists-- its an important political distinction.

It is very important but let's keep that discussion within our minds. No one should convince you to vote for a candidate but you. So I say we should stay informed and nothing more, that's the key.
