Sanders jabs at Clinton's foreign policy credentials following speechBernie Sanders took a swipe at Hillary Clintons foreign policy credentials on Thursday in the wake of her speech attacking Donald Trumps proposals.
"I agree with Secretary Clinton that Donald Trump's foreign policy ideas are incredibly reckless and irresponsible, Sanders said in a statement. But when it comes to foreign policy, we cannot forget that Secretary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, the worst foreign policy blunder in modern American history, and that she has been a proponent of regime change, as in Libya, without thinking through the consequences.
On Thursday, Clinton gave a speech that took Trump to task for his temperament and foreign policy proposals that she believes makes him unfit for the presidency.
Donald Trumps ideas arent just different; they are dangerously incoherent, she said. They arent even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies.
Sanders has taken issue with Clintons own foreign policy, routinely blasting her for her early Iraq War support and her praise of Henry Kissinger, another former secretary of State.
In his statement on Thursday, Sanders added, "We need a foreign policy based on building coalitions and making certain that the brave American men and women in our military do not get bogged down in perpetual warfare in the Middle East. That's what I will fight for as president."

"Phyllis Bennis of the Institute for Policy Studies says although Clinton rightfully used her national security speech to condemn the bigotry and outlandishness of Trumps positions, she laid out a much more militaristic foreign policy"

I guess he's just not a high-road type of guy. I'm tired of having two enemies of the Democratic Party in this race.

The plaudits were generous, saying this is a high water mark against the Trump threat.
