On hearing, I thought, Bernie has a foreign policy advisor? Hortensis Feb 2016 #31

She voted FOR it. Ed Suspicious Feb 2016 #110

Being that you have to pull out strawmen to support your choice I take it you're okay with her vote. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #76

non responsive treestar Feb 2016 #77

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

Lyria was a typo, it should read Syria and here you go: beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #99

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

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

You're just now learning of Kissinger's complicity and you've already absolved him? beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #105

Yep, the soap opera actress/blogger she cited lied about Bernie and the op is trying to save face. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #33

"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

And being in Congress all those years and not learning more than that? treestar Feb 2016 #84

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
