Hard-line right-wing war hawk Max Boot applauds Hillary Clinton in op-ed

56. Here's more information for you

Here is Hillary’s current policy on dealing with ISIS, more or less. Continue our commitment to our NATO alliances (Trump wants to go it alone). Embed special forces in the local armies to gain intelligence for important strategical purposes such as carrying out better airstrikes, as Obama did in Afghanistan. Also, help Sunni and Kurdish moderates take back their territories by giving them weapons and tactical advice, (Obama initially was initially unwilling to do this, and Congress actually blocked him from sending weapons after it became clear we needed to do this, because you know, it was Obama that asked and the answer must always be no.) She also emphasizes getting more commitment from Saudi Arabia and Turkey (vital to the offensive). Saudi Arabia just pledged full support earlier this year. These proposals, by the way, are very similar to those put forth by Bernie Sanders. Max Boot agrees with all of it as well. Whatever Boot believed at the time of the Iraq invasion, it appears he has a grip on the current situation. So when I say he understands military strategy, it seems to me he understands pretty well what needs to be done right now.

But I know knee jerk reactions like: "A republican agrees with her, and republicans are always wrong! So Hillary must be wrong too!" is easier than researching a complicated issue. It's what led you to think there's no difference between the conflicts in Iraq, Syria, and Libya. Researching requires work, but I'm glad those in power are doing the hard work, amidst all the insults and second-guessing by voters who can't even bother to gather information on the very issues they are screaming about.
