"My stars, look at Nixon; look at Reagan. Look at Obama paving the way for presidents of color to bomb Syria and Iraq without permission -- even pioneering unauthorized drone strikes. Call this equal-opportunity Armageddon, but if Harry S. Truman can drop the big one without congressional approval, so can I." Although some "it's-time-for-a-woman" presidential campaigners say they feel betrayed by the president's nuclear strike, it does, in fact, square with decades of Hillary Clinton's military policy. This includes Mrs. Clinton's support for massive government aid and commercial arms sales to rightwing countries, including Israel and Saudi Arabia; her 2002 vote in the Senate for the war in Iraq; and, as Secretary of State, her military intervention in Libya. Interviewed on CBS News about the 2011 ouster of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, Mrs. Clinton quipped, "We came, we saw, he died." Recently, former Republican Florida Representative Joe Scarborough remarked, "Hillary is the neocon's neocon. . . . There's hardly been a military engagement that Hillary hasn't been for in the past 20 years."
