Clinton's experience claim under scrutiny

Hillary Clinton may have influenced foreign policy, but evidence is scant she played pivotal role

The Chicago Tribune (which is definitely a conservative paper, but has endorsed Obama in the primary) has taken a look at Clinton's claims of experience, and the outcome doesn't look good for Sen. Clinton.

Yglesias sums it up with this:

It's not just that [Clinton's claims of foreign policy experience is false, in general, that she has a lot of experience in this field, but her campaign actually puts out specific examples of things she did while First Lady that, upon examination, turn out not to hold up.
