Hillary Clinton’s plan to fight ISIS is like Obama’s — only more so

If you like President Obama’s “plan” to fight ISIS, you’ll just love Hillary Clinton’s.Clinton wants to defeat the jihadis by relying pretty much on the same lame steps Obama has — only more so.
The Democratic presidential front-runner laid out her ideas Thursday at the Council on Foreign Relations in what was billed as a major policy speech. Alas, it offered far more rhetoric than substance.
Even Hillary herself admitted, in a question-and-answer session afterward, that her proposal is but “an intensification, an acceleration” of the failed Obama strategy.
Yes, she called for more airstrikes, a no-fly zone over Syria and boots on the ground. But it’s plain she’d have non-US forces do the heavy lifting in many of these areas.

Clinton Plan to Fight ISIL ‘All Rhetoric, No Strategy’ - Ex-US Ambassador
US Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s plan to destroy the Islamic State, announced last Thursday, is a reheat of neo-conservative rhetoric and lacking any strategy whatsoever, former US Ambassador Chas Freeman told Sputnik.
WASHINGTON
(Sputnik) — On the same day Clinton offered her proposed strategy
to fight the Islamic State, her chief challenger for the nomination, US
Senator Bernie Sanders, offered a different plan advocating close
cooperation between the United States, Russia and major Muslim nations.
Clinton
wanted to repeat over Syria the policies she adopted as secretary
of state to topple Libya’s long-time leader Muammar Gadhafi, not
realizing that conditions were very different, Freeman argued.
"‘Hillary's
plan’ is all rhetoric and no strategy. As such, it is hard
to distinguish it from the bellicose pronouncements of our nation's
neo-conservative pundits," Freeman, former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia
and a past president of the Middle East Policy Council, said.
"Ms.
Clinton essentially proposes a replay of Libya, an example of the use
of force that few, if any other than she, find inspiring. As she did
in Libya, she proposes airstrikes and a ‘no-fly zone’ — a purely
military approach aimed at regime change with a proven record
of producing disasters," he said.
