I disagree. Go back and look at Bush's 2000 critique of Clinton's squandering of resources on "nation building" around the world.

I don't think Bush's rhetoric was anywhere near as strident in 2000. Either way, it's a departure in the post-9/11 era.

Trump also took up the hawkish GOP line that troops were removed too soon from Iraq, created ISIS, etc.

consistency obviously not Trump’s forte but I think with that he’s basically saying we should still be deeper in Iraq.

Trump's been saying the thing about BHO creating a "vacuum" in Iraq since the beginning of the campaign

look, i've consistently found it satisfying when he says we've wasted trillions on a misguided war.

she hasn't. she won't. she's a hawk. but I am not remotely convinced Trump's FP would be better.

I just want a good faith comparative assessment of their FP views; it's very difficult to find.
