(18,290 posts)2. Whoever it will be, their name won't be "Henry Kissinger"
Or "Robert Kagan", or any destructive neocon who Hillary admires so much.
Bill Clinton never named anyone during his primary candidacy, and, going into the presidency, he had way less FP knowledge than Bernie ever had. Almost none, as he himself admitted to the Pentagon once he got into office.
Bill actually didn't do a bad job in foreign policy, and, unlike Hillary would, he didn't surround himself with neocons.
Renew Deal

(20,411 posts)4. he has yet to name his foreign policy advisor - I think
who is he embarrassed by?
brentspeak
(18,290 posts)6. So he hasn't settled on any one person yet
Bill Clinton didn't during his primary candidacy. Was Bill Clinton "embarrassed"?
DrDan
(20,411 posts)7. a legitimate response - has he said that?
brentspeak
(18,290 posts)8. He said he's still speaking to various people
Getting briefed by as many as he can, has not yet formed lasting connections with any one adviser, which would come later should it be necessary.
