I prefer to keep my critiques of Hillary on her policies...

Okay, great.

 

So, it was her policy as Secretary to support the Arab spring, which handed Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood for a spell, and lead to the overthrow of Khadaffi in Libya.  While overthrowing a dictator isn't always a bad thing, when you don't really know what that vacancy is going to be replaced with, that's a dangerous strategy to employ.  Hillary was quick to celebrate the death of Khadaffi in Libya, but eerily silent when the country plunged into chaos, and created an instability that ultimately lead to a US consulate being overrun and four American's being killed. 

 

That's bad policy, especially when you know the reality is that the attack on our consulate was a coordinated, well organized attack, and not the response to a video, or just some guys who happened to be out for a walk who decided to launch an attack on the facility with RPGs and other weapons. 

 

It's also been reported that the US was using weapons that were cached by the Khadaffi regime and confiscated after the overthrow to arm rebels in Syria who were fighting the Assad regime there, again helping to prop up the Arab Spring.  They were providing these weapons to rebels who were affiliated with both al Qaeda and ISIS.  Great policy there.  Nothing nefarious could possibly come from arming your sworn enemy, right?

 

So, her policies as Secretary of State lead to the death of Americans and ultimately to the expansion of the Caliphate in the Middle East. 

 

In Nigeria, Hillary Clinton and her State Department consistently fought to pervent Boko Haram, the al Qaeda affiliate in that region, from being designated as a terrorist organization, even after being pressed by the CIA, FBI, US military command in Africa, and Obama's Justice Department to do just that following several attacks going back to 2011.  John Kerry, for all his ineptitude, signed off on the designation almost as soon as he replaced her.  Unfortunately, not before they kidnapped, raped, tortured, sold into slavery, and forced marriage on 300 young girls.  You might remember what the US policy was to deal with that, right?  A hashtag campaign?  Great policy there.
