Emails Show Hillary Clinton Aides Celebrating F-15 Sales to Saudi Arabia: “Good News”

Bombs dropped by fighter jets are pulverizing Yemen’s architectural history, possibly in violation of international humanitarian law.

A few years earlier, as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton made weapons transfer to the Saudi government a “top priority,” according to her closest military aide.

And now, newly released emails show that her aides kept her well-informed of the approval process for a $29.4 billion sale in 2011 of up to 84 advanced F-15SA fighters, manufactured by Boeing, along with upgrades to the pre-existing Saudi fleet of 70 F-15 aircraft and munitions, spare parts, training, maintenance, and logistics.

10. couldn't agree more

Hillary Clinton is knee deep in arms industry cash

[EdwardBernays]

6. It was a "Personal priority"

Saudi Arabia gave the 'Foundation" 25m

Boeing gave is 10 (or maybe it was 1m - Google it)

Boeing also paid Bill 250,000 for one speech.

At the time of the deal the State Department was saying Saudi Arabia was endlessly violating human rights. And treating women poorly. Clintons priority wasn't helping them. It was selling their oppressors 10s of Billions in weapons.

And those weapons are now being used in war crimes in Yemen. With then US' help and support.

Oh and hey guess what.

The lobbying firm that Hillary's campaign chairman owns, guess who they recently got a big contract with?

Saudi Arabia.

So very corrupt.
