.... from the Iraq war?     The US sells or ships as military aid or equipment amounting to $$billions to scores of countries around the world.     The approval process goes through the State Department and the Department of Defense.    This is going on ever since Vietnam War.    So what the fuck if it happens during Secretary Clinton's tenure?

President Bill Clinton's Global Foundation accepts money from scores of countries.   WTF has that to do with US selling or sending military equipment as aid to those countries.

It is going on now under Secretary Kerry.

A consortium of American defense contractors led by Boeing would deliver $29 billion worth of advanced fighter jets to the United States' oil-rich ally in the Middle East.
Israeli officials were agitated, reportedly complaining to the Obama administration that this substantial enhancement to Saudi air power risked disrupting the region's fragile balance of power.
An assistant secretary of state, Andrew Shapiro, declared that the deal had been “a top priority” for Clinton personally.  

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia contributed at least $10 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Under Clinton's leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation.   represented nearly double the value of American arms sales made to the those countries and approved by the State Department during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

The Clinton-led State Department also authorized $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 of the countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation, resulting in a 143 percent increase in completed sales to those nations over the same time frame during the Bush administration.

Before the libs/dims start pointing figure at corruption in foreign govts, look in the mirror.

and I will most likely end up voting for her.

Somehow I doubt she will give a fuck what I call her as long as I vote for her next year.

Politeness on the internet is an unrealistic goal, kind of like believing that she will actually be a decent and effective POTUS if elected. My only hope is that she follows the lead of her husband and doesn't break too many things during her term, unlike the last two chimps before her.

Now I have a question for you, is it racist if I call both GW and Barry chimps? Or is it only racist when I call the black guy a chimp?

In my defense, I have never claimed to be respectful, especially where it comes to politicians.

President Obama's face has no resemblance to  a chimp.
  GW is close to a carbon copy.  
 
If you were referencing actions and not looks, both of them share the same traits.

makes no sense.  "Kudos for calling her other candidate"????  

And you even modified it to read that way

...who pretends to be respectful of politicians but demeans Hillary Clinton by referring to her by her first name, something you don't do to other politicians.  You can try to laugh it off all you want, but your words are there for everyone to read.

BTW, there's nothing wrong with my other post.  Please take a remedial reading course.

corrected and modified it.

I don't need remedial reading.  You need to just admit that you made an earlier mistake when you first posted the comment.

And I've never "patted myself on my back" but I will make sure to protect it when I'm anywhere near the backstabber that I hear you are.

...who scrupulously refers to all politicians by their proper titles, except for "Hillary" of course, has to rely on hearsay (as he readily admits) to hurl insults at a fellow poster.  Speak for yourself, instead of relying on the musings of a feeble-minded fool.  You got nuttin'!

As for my "mistake", there is a glitch in TER that removes quotation marks and all words thereafter in the subject line of a post when it is modified.  The mistake was in TER's software, and I subsequently restored my post to the way it appeared originally.

We have been selling military hardware to Saudi Arabia for eons.

You do realize House of Saud and Bushes have family relationships going back generations.

Probably not, too dumb to know other than regurgitating like sheep.

He sold arms to Iran and gave the money to thugs in Nicaragua to fight their Government.    He lied, his officials lied and everyone lied.
