Matthew Yglesias, watching our livestreamed foreign policy panel, comments:
It's not good enough to just have "experience" -- Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld had tons of experience -- you want people with experience making good judgments, and Hillary Clinton doesn't have that record on Iraq, and her team is weighted toward people who made the same judgment that she did on Iraq.
