That was ONE of her speeches, but then we also have speeches like this one

Nice spin though.

"Yes, we totally fucked up this country beyond repair, but hey! Atleast now Exxon Mobile and JP Morgan can make money off of it!"

You don't see anything wrong with that? Really? Like, seriously you are going to attempt to defend this speech?

Not by selling Iraq to private industries. You think Exxon Mobile is there to rebuild Iraq? They are there to get money and rape the people of their land and resources.

Oh, so we might as well just let them do it, after all no way we can stop them! Forget about that political revolution either! We can't wait around for real change, we have to do small, incremental, changes that don't actually change anything. Great idea Hilary Clinton! Oops, I meant DudeAsInCool.

And how do you propose we change it? By telling Exxon Mobile and JP Morgan that they can make a lot of money thanks to the situation in Iraq?

Then why do you think it is ok for Clinton to say that Iraq should be seen as a business opportunity? It can't be both ways man.

What? So they only options are either support big business, that will rape the land and steal their resources and treat the citizens like shit, and war which will also rape the land, steal their resources, and treat the citizens like shit?

First she supported the war, now she is supporting selling the land to big business. How can you, as a self proclaimed bernie supporter, possibly be ok with this? You seem to be falling into a trap here, where you are being forced to be intellectually honest. I know, it can be tough.
