Go back and watch when he says we need "a foreign policy that is tough and smart." That's a classic neoliberal, technocratic line. It means we're going to be just as bad as the right wing, we're going to keep promoting regime change and war, but we're going to use drones and covert ops, using buzzwords like "precision" and "surgical" in order to pre-justify killing innocent civilians.

@Heycool08 No, it didn't. And what "excellent results" have drones produced? A remarkable rate of failure, at the cost of civilian lives. A recruitment tool for terrorists. The mechanization of warfare, removing America's human stakes and replacing them with disposable machines. Smart war was always a euphemism for 21st century American imperialism.

That "foreign policy that is tough and smart" line was a giant red flag. I wasn't old/aware enough at the time to know how to read comments like that, but looking back, "smart" clearly meant covert, discreet, conducted by drone strikes, all while dodging FOIA requests and prosecuting journalists and whistleblowers.

High point for Obama, low point for Bernie.
