"What did someone (who shall remain nameless) keep banging on about a Clinton victory bringing the world to the bring of war?"

That was me Jim! and it remains true.
Clinton wanted every Syrian Air Base obliterated, give Obama his due he had the balls to stand up to her in the end.
Let us hope that President Donal John's ill considered but limited strike was indeed a bit of opportunism for domestic reasons and sanity prevails.

Had Clinton been in power rather than Obama we would certainly be facing war with Russia.....and even a couple of days before the latest strike, she was still screaming for Assad's blood.

The abuse of Putin is completely undeserved, he is a statesman and a man of action when required.....notably when the West were stirring up trouble in Ukraine and supporting Islamic terrorists.

What "human rights" do you think would pertain in Syria should President Assad been removed from power four years ago? The same "human rights" which we see enjoyed by the grateful citizenry of Iraq and Libya I suppose... :0(
