Her foreign policy record was actually pretty horrible, especially by the standards of voters in the Democratic primaries.

I hope you all start to see how bad these arguments make Sanders out to be. They are really cheap shots at him. Unfair ones at that.

(10,122 posts)When reporters asked what her campaign what her 3AM experiences had been, her campaign was silent - couldn't name any. From that embarrassment, because she'd been calling out Obama on that:
1. We got a made up, way overblown story about how she helped get the peace agreement in Ireland
2. We got the made up Bosnian sniper BS
So Hillary knew from her having to lie in 2008 that she was a lightweight in that area in 2008.
Between 2009 and 2013, she's got a very sketchy record at Secretary of State. Like her legislative record, no real signature achievement. She got in a few messes, screwed up in a few places, delivered a dandy email scandal and has eyebrows raised at the millions of dollars from foreign countries in weapons deals and other quid pro quo appearing deals with the Clinton Foundation.
