If you supported Hillary (like me) you shouldn't crack on Afghan policy too much [View All]

Just sayin'

I certainly didn't support Hillary because she's a relative hawk, but had no illusions on that score. I didn't think there was as much difference between she and Barack on War and Peace issues as was painted, but certainly didn't think she was Joan Baez or anything.

And we don't need to speculate what she would have done on Afghanistan because she's the Secretary of State and has been one of the hawkish voices throughout the deliberations. So we KNOW she was on the hawk side of Obama's eventual compromise position... meaining more hawkish than Obama.

Oppose the policy? Sure. That's fair. But without any implication that it could have been otherwise.

Kucinich supporters, go nuts. You're earned it. But former Hillary supporters ought to maintain some perspective on this thing.
