Can the world afford more Hillary "accomplishments"?

What matters above all, as Obama rightly insisted in 2008, is judgment, not “experience”.

In the case of Clinton there hasn’t been a major foreign policy decision in the Middle East she pushed for that didn’t end up being a disaster both at home and the countries she advocated meddling in.

The most commonly cited “mistake” was her support for the Iraq war which is one of the main reasons she lost the nomination the first time around.

The most commonly cited “mistake” was her support for the Iraq war which is one of the main reasons she lost the nomination the first time around. But even if one excludes this, even if one puts it into a memory hole and buries it along with her support for DOMA, welfare reform, and harsh prison sentences, the choices she’s made after 2008 show she not only didn’t learn any lessons from that war but has only grown more bellicose and hawkish.

From her advocating regime change in Libya, to arming dubious opposition forces in Syria, to undermining peace with Iran — Clinton has consistently been wrong on foreign policy even after her supposedly humbling loss of 2008.
