Clinton Adviser Criticizes Obama on Iran and Russia (The Washington Free Beacon)

Hillary Clinton adviser Jake Sullivan took shots at the Obama administration’s foreign policy during his address at Friday’s Truman National Security Project in Washington, calling for a “more effective American strategy in the Middle East” and criticizing the country’s inability to handle cyber threats and the depletion of respect abroad for the United States.

Sullivan, a senior foreign policy adviser to Clinton’s campaign after serving in her State Department from 2011 to 2013, cited Clinton’s San Diego foreign policy speech earlier this month for its repeated allusions to American exceptionalism.

“In that speech, she consciously used the term American exceptionalism, because she believes we are exceptional and we do have exceptional capacities to go about building that better future for our people and for all people,” he said.
