Except she wasn't "debating" a candidate for POTUS.
It's hard to imagine Trump, Carson, JEB or any of the other GOP
potentials scoring points against her in a debate but we'll have
to wait and see.

Her knowledge and command of international facts is certainly
impressive.


The question in a good debate would be how those "facts" contributed
to the failed policies in the middle east.
That was the problem with the hearings. They were trying to make bad
policy a criminal matter. It is as stupid as saying Dick Cheney should
be hauled into the dock for his bad policy decisions.
If we did that Sudan could charge Bill Clinton for murder in his
aspirin factory bombing.



You're a funny guy, especially when you don't mean to be.

It is hard to understand where you are going with these brain farts.

Are you saying the policies in North Africa were sound?
Are you saying bad policy is a criminal matter?
Are you saying they didn't bomb an aspirin factory and kill an
innocent night watchman?


I'm saying that many of these events that trouble you so much are part
and parcel of living in today's world. And I don't for a moment believe
that "bad policy decisions" were the reason for Cheney's helping to lie
us into two unnecessary wars that required massive numbers of American
troops on the ground.

The "lie" may be faulty intelligence but it would not be the first
time it happened and it won't be the last. It is still a policy
decision.
That was a decision supported by the current front runner on the
Democratic ticket, the UN and most of our allies, some of whom fed us
the flawed intel in the first place. .

I have never even heard the allegation that Afghanistan was a lie,
that is all you.
The problem there is Democrats were saying that was the "good war" and
encouraging Bush to go bigger. The reality was we missed OBL in Tora
Bora and we should have left as quietly as we entered.
