I thought the way it was thrown out was pretty sloppy. Or maybe it was because there were no follow-up questions. Whatever it was, it left more questions than it answered. I've been surprised there's been no follow-up on it.

<<<If I had to debate that position on Iran as a serious foreign policy proposal, thrown out all by itself, the way she did, I, quite frankly, couldn't find any reason to argue for it.>>> IMO, it was completely Machiavellian. She is completely briefed on the subject. She knows precisely how her military advisors feel and think. She said what she did to pander to the Jewish vote. Without the Jewish vote in America, you are not going anywhere fast. Imo, her core beliefs on the subject are not that much different from Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama. The reality is, I admire Jimmy Carter for his principled stand on the ME situation, but he was not effective when he was in office. Hillary is imo truly Machiavellian in this respect. She will be much more effective in office. You can count on Hillary to fight for the best interests of her country and she will be effective. I don't expect the intellectual community and the extreme left will approve of her MO.
