Hillary Clinton

Do you really think Hillary is not ready to answer the foreign policy issues they are bringing up.
First off, trying to blame Hillary for Russian invasion of Georgia is silly. That happened under Bush.
Libya: The Sec. of State does not make the final decision on foreign policy actions..the President does. She may have supported removing Gaddafi but so did most of our allies and many of the people in Libya. Obama has admitted that there should have been a better plan for the aftermath.
ISIS is not a creation of Hillary but rather part of the fallout from Iraq.
And most of the Military brass agree with her positions on Syria that Obama failed to implement.
It is still the President who makes the final foreign policy decisions.
I am confident that Hillary will step up and take responsibility for her mistakes but also set the record straight about really went wrong and what was really going on in all of those situations.

(1,580 posts)She serves under him and implemented his foreign policy, and PBO obviously thought the same things she did. Furthermore, her 1 vote in the Senate does not a foreign policy agenda make. The Iraq war was of the making of Bush and his foreign policy people no one else. I mean do you really think that Hill was making the foreign policy agenda as a junior senator. There is more complexity after the her vote. SUCH AS WHO DECIDED on MALIKI, how they decided who was going to vote etc....
