Hillary is

I can't seem to find an instance where we've been debating intervening in a war where Clinton has stood on the side of not intervening. Certainly wasn't Iraq - wasn't Libya (which Obama now admits was the greatest mistake of his presidency) - definitely isn't in Syria. So where has she taken the opposite position?

The problem

On social and economic issues (from gay marriage and civil liberties to trade deals and regulation) - absolutely - she's been very fairweather. On war and foreign policy? rock-solid consistent.
