Hillary Clinton has bathed in accolades from Democrats for her scathing speech against Trumps foreign policy credentials. But in an interview aired Sunday, her rival for the Democratic nomination Bernie Sanders suggested that Clintons own foreign policy judgment raises similar concerns.
I think frankly they both make a point, he said in an interview aired Sunday on CNNs State of the Union about the back-and-forth sniping between Trump and Clinton over foreign policy judgment and who is more likely to get the United States entangled in a new war.
I think that her support for the war in Iraq was not just an aberration, he said. I think that her willingness to push President Obama to overthrow [Libya's Muammar] Qadhafi and lead to the kind of instability were seeing now in Libya, not inconsistent with her views on Syria, where she wants a no-fly zone.
Yep.

e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...
Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...
Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"
Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"
Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

(11,998 posts)...if she really did it merely for political expediency, she could have simply voted Yes. She didn't have to make a 20 minute floor speech rallying her colleagues to do the same.

Context of article suggests HRC and Trump.
I can't imagine Bernie saying Trump made a point.
Did you see the interview? I suspect article is wrong.
