#1 HILLARY > either somebody in the Secret Service, etal. wilfully wants to lose their job, including pension, or is a turncoat; or Hillary's delegation came under sudden surprise? attack, ala CHENEY'S BOMB INCIDENT.

#2 Who cares? Relative to Obamamessia, Hillary is a WarHawk, a Minarchist, and a fanatical Zionist.

#3 Help me here. Did Billious Bill get the requisite UN and international approval for this war? Didn't he predict that all the troops would be home by Xmas?

I love the blind spots here. Wasn't Srebrenicia under Dutch protection at that time?

#4 Roger Cohen..never heard of him. He must be another one of those self-ingratiating asses who take a few facts, interject unaccountable 'personal experience' for emotive content, and weaves his own agenda and/or prejudices into the narrative, give it a snappy title and -boom- feel important enough to change the world.

"If you'd lived the war, the base was a small miracle of American order and security." ... "U.S. hard power has not worked."
Uhh huh.

#5 The fool that wrote this article needs to go read Kipling's "The Gods of the Copybook Headings." As a matter of fact, it would be a good thing if everyone in the whole U.K. read that again daily, for the rest of their lives.

Most particularly they should contemplate the stanza that reads as follows:

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.

They swore, if we gave them our weapons, the wars of the tribes would cease.

But when we disarmed They sold us, and delivered us bound to our foe.

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said, "Stick to the Devil you know."

That's the righteous, irrefutable answer to the next thrice-damned Labour cretin who comes up with yet another White Paper proposing to shrink the MoD and spend the savings on Muslim immigrants.
