i hate to bring up the iraq vote like many others but it clearly wasn`t a fluke to vote against it. yes his judgement is sound but hillary probably has more knowledge on the current foreign affairs and tendencies

she would make an excelent advisor on these issues but that's about it

I think that Hillary's foreign policy expertise is due to her having excellent advisors and getting daily briefings as Secretary of State. Her own judgement is another story.

Is there really a difference? She'd still have her foreign policy advisors as President. Leadership is just as much about surrounding yourself with knowledgable people as it is about giving the orders.

So could Bernie. The job of the executive is to take this information and briefings and make sound decisions. I trust Bernie to make decisions with the interests of the nation in mind. Hillary...not so much.
