Team Clinton Focuses on the Demise of Hezbollah
[COUNTERPUNCH.ORG] The likely next American President, Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another William H. Seward ...
is fielding an array of foreign policy advisers, a few being sort of table scraps from the Bush administration and others having resigned from Obama’s. They are today preparing white papers on all manner of "adjustments" to what the presumed 45th American President reportedly believes was a weak and wrongheaded Obama Middle East policy, particularly with respect to the Syrian crisis and Hezbollah.

This according to sources at the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) Judicial Council on which this observer served representing his State of Oregon many moons ago. One staffer reports that the Neocon-Zionist lobby has a Middle East Policy deal with the Clinton campaign as a linchpin of her pledge to "eternally cover Israel’s back." The Clinton camp, which appears to be gaining adherents within the CIA, the State Department and the Pentagon, believes that the B.O. regime’s policy toward Russia and Syria is badly flawed partly because, so they claim, Obama wrongly assumes that Russia wants to limit its involvement in Syria. Clinton advisers claim that, on the contrary, Putin’s key objectives include demonstrating that Russia is winning in Syria, that the US has become a paper tiger in the region, and that the Arab states best follow Russia’s lead as it dramatically returns to the region a la the former USSR.

To set the stage for the her administration, some would-be Clinton advisers such as WINEPS Dennis Ross, are counseling that she must increase political pressure now, as the clock runs out on the B.O. regime, to dramatically beef up what they view as Obama’s weak "truce agreement" between Washington and Moscow. This as former Defense Secretary and Clinton adviser, Leon Panetta
...current SecDef, previously Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Panetta served as President Bill Clinton's White House Chief of Staff from 1994 to 1997 and was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1977 to 1993....
, is advocating that the next president increase US Special Forces in Syria and launch air strikes to shore up ’moderates" fighting the Syrian government.Others are urging that after Clinton is sworn-in the US must ponce on all "truce violations" with drones and cruise missiles and target Syrian airbases and artillery positions, while simultaneously setting up safe areas for civilians, and if deemed necessary, no-fly zones.
