At AIPAC, Hillary Vows to Uphold Israel's Military Dominance: Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff for U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, had this to say about Hillary: ".

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff for U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, had this to say about Hillary:
". . . let me say first that I wish Hillary Clinton had been at the conference on Israel's influence on the 18th of March last Friday at the National Press Club, and heard Gideon Levy himself from Haaretz in Israel talk about the young children killed by U.S.-supplied F16, of course flown by an Israeli pilot, lying on the beach opposite Gaza. I wish she could have heard that, so she could compare and contrast what she's talking about with regard to Israelis, who are far, far safer than the Palestinians, with regard to Palestinians. There is blood on both sides of this divide, in other words, and I wish Hillary had acknowledged some of that.

With regard to Iran, her rhetoric is understandable, perhaps. But in many respects, is one of the reasons I probably won't be voting for Hillary. And as her warlike, hawk-like her attitude--and it's not just because she's at AIPAC. It's not just because of the audience to which she's speaking, which represents the ultimate right-wing of Israel to this state, it doesn't represent the Israeli lobby in the United States, doesn't represent Jewish Americans by and large. Poll after poll shows that. It represents the ultra right-wing government of Bibi Netanyahu in Israel.

And so I understand she has to say these kind of red meat things to them. But beyond that she frightens me with the relaxed attitude she has about using the U.S. armed forces and about using force in general. We saw that in Libya. She was, I think, the principal who convinced President Obama to do Libya, as it were, and now we have a colossal mess in Libya.

So she disturbs me in these kind of remarks. Not just because she's at AIPAC, but because I believe she believes some of these things she's saying about the use of force and how it should be predominant in our arsenal.

. . . this is a terrible place for us to be doing what we're doing right now. And in terms of the situation in the Middle East, I mean, I've got to tell you, we give $3 billion-plus to Egypt every year to bribe them to keep the peace treaty with Israel. And then we turn around and give $3 billion-plus a year to Israel. And there's hardly any money left for U.S. foreign policy on a discretionary basis because of these fixed dole-outs we give every year. And now we're talking, if you can believe this, we're talking about going up to $5 billion. I understand the Israelis have asked for $6 billion. They'll compromise for $5.5 billion.

This is one of the most successful capitalist states in the Mediterranean, if not the world. They're not poor people, and we're giving them all this money. We've been giving them hundreds of--we've given them $200-300 billion over the last generation or so. This is incredible what we're doing, leaving no other money for U.S. foreign policy, by and large, because we're giving so much to these two states, really giving it directly and indirectly to Israel. And now we're going to give more. And we have one of the most robust military-to-military and intelligence-to-intelligence relationships in the world. It's not always served us very well. And we're going to do more? This is preposterous. This is political talk for AIPAC, for the red meat audience of AIPAC."

Didn't anyone listen to Trumps address to AIPAC. He was great, very Presidentialand received many standing ovations, thunderous applause.
Newt Gingrich had great praise for a Trump and the way he conducted himself before 20 Senators, asking questions and LISTENING, yes listening and learning. Go Trump!!

Good point, Carol. I liked Colin Powell until 2010, when he attempted to use "things" he should have better left alone.

Guess you meant ad lib. But he did. And didn't he look and act Presidential.And didn't they love him. Thunderous applause and standing ovations. I was so proud of him.

From what he says, Wilkerson is not a big Hillary fan.
I am even less so.

Anyone AIPAC loves is a likely disaster for Americans.
Read what Wilkerson says about AIPAC. They don't even represent American Jews.
