EVERYONE voted for that war, based on bad information. Plus, Hillary was the senator from New York, you know, that place where the terror attacks happened? She had no choice but to vote for a plan that would go after the people who orchestrated the attacks. In retrospect, it was a mistake, but it's because the executive branch LIED like crazy to make it happen.

But then we have Libya. She supported the Muslim Brotherhood in egypt to setup a hardline Islamic government.

She did? News to me. Everything I've ready said she talked about using caution supporting any one side. It didn't go well, but it was such a chaotic period that it was hard to pick the "right" side. Either way, it's better than having that lunatic Gaddafi in power.
BTW, you know Libya isn't in Egypt right?

Her actions in Iraq in recent years probably contributed to the rise of ISIS at least in part. In general, she is a hawk.
So yes, the middle east got worse under her watch.

All of this is general hearsay that the right has put out. There's no evidence that anything she did or didn't do had anything to do with the rise of ISIS. The Iraq war and the subsequent power vacuum that occurred following the withdrawal of U.S. forces (which was pre-ordained BEFORE Obama took office by the Bush administration) was largely to blame for the rise of ISIS. That, and the utter incompetence of local governments to contain them.
Honestly, you are beginning to sound more and more like a Trump clone. These are all vague arguments that he's made as well without much merit.
