The shallowness masquerading as thoughtfulness on this thread is quite amusing. Bill Clinton and Obama had no big foreign policy experience. This election is about trust. No ones trusts the Clintons or Bushes after getting to know them. Everyone is desperate to keep liars out of high office.

Strawman: "Being that this is the be-all and end-all on foreign policy and nothing else matters" beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #80

That is pretty much the argument you present treestar Feb 2016 #82

Iraq, Syria, Libya, Iran, Honduras...her experience is the problem. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #90

A mere mention of a list of countries does not indicate she did anything wrong on any of those treestar Feb 2016 #91

Where have you been? beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #95

This is the second time in as many days I've seen a Hillary supporter defend Kissinger. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #106

Unbelievable, isn't it? polly7 Feb 2016 #107

For the same reason Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld haven't been. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #108

Nothing would surprise me anymore. polly7 Feb 2016 #109

Well at least the op gave us a chance to prove once again why Hillary isn't qualified to be CiC. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #111

Not quite what the op was hoping for, I'm sure. polly7 Feb 2016 #117

It's funny, that happens a lot with her ops. :) beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #118

So his observations on foreign leaders are not astute? treestar Feb 2016 #92

No, not astute. A warmongering, murder/torturing supporter asshole isn't capable of 'astuteness' polly7 Feb 2016 #94

Neither have Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al. Would they be suitable advisers now too? polly7 Feb 2016 #88

None of those three would be good at any time treestar Feb 2016 #93

Why not??? polly7 Feb 2016 #96

That's your defense of a war criminal? Bush and Cheney weren't tried and convicted either. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #89

That's a lot of innuendo treestar Feb 2016 #100

Innuendo .............. wow, you're actually defending Kissinger?! polly7 Feb 2016 #102

"Sanders military adviser briefed him once" OMG what a joke! Is Bernie a serious candidate??? workinclasszero Feb 2016 #58

I'm beginning to think he's not. BlueCaliDem Feb 2016 #66

Bernie has tunnel vision workinclasszero Feb 2016 #68

You'd think he'd change strategy when he realized how weak he is on foreign policy issues. But no. BlueCaliDem Feb 2016 #69

You mean he isn't going to repeat Bush's lies word for word, and trick us into war? arcane1 Feb 2016 #63

Good. Hillary probably talks to military advisors several times throughout the day. frylock Feb 2016 #64

In these dangerous times, the LAST thing we need is a foreign policy light-weight in the White House BlueCaliDem Feb 2016 #65

What can we deduce? Is this a clue that he might be somewhat of an "isolationist"? Who knows? NurseJackie Feb 2016 #71
