Can someone direct me to a list of Jeffrey Sachs' foreign policy credentials? [View all]

Unless I'm mistaken, he's an economist--hardly an expert in international relations.

But, to hear him spouting off on MSNBC this morning, anyone could have been confused.

His self-righteous critique of the "catastrophic" foreign policy of this administration, and his smug calling-out of both Pres. Obama and Sec. Clinton about their Mid-East policy, was loathsome and obnoxious.

His "concern trolling" was SO obvious--especially when he pointedly reminded everyone that he's never been with "her", but with the "other".
