No To Hillary As Secretary of State


The biggest difference between Hillary and Barack during the primaries was foreign policy, why on earth would we want her to lead in the position where her stances differ most strikingly from Barack's? Remember, she criticized MoveOn.org because she said that they had different foreign policy views from her. She differed from Barack on whether the U.S. should sell the devastatingly inaccurate weapons known as cluster bombs to other nations, she differed from him on the Iraq war, she differed from him on high-level negotiations with our adversaries, and she differed from him on the resolution that stated that it should be a vital national security interest to act against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Make her head of Health and Human Services where her expertise in health care would serve as a great asset (though I'd love to see Howard Dean in this role as well). But Secretary of State? I say thanks, but no thanks.
