Hillary has the most foreign policy experience of any candidate

and the clearest foreign policy record.

That record is anything but reassuring, and her experience seems to have reinforced the poor judgment she demonstrated in voting for the IWR and supporting that war for years.

Iraq

Libya

Honduras

Syria

Hillary's judgment has been deeply flawed on all. She hasn't evolved. She still espouses the same awful neocon policies.

And now her support for a no-fly zone in Syriam. The Pentagon opposes it, but hey, Christie and Bush agree with her.

Some of those people have been doing it wrong for decades and deliver well below desirable results.

Having extensive experience doesn't automatically mean they know a damn thing about doing it right.
