Having well considered reasons does. Which instances of his support for military intervention demonstrated that he has no judgment, and why? Why was he crazy to support intervening in Sudan, or Syria, for example? Sure, maybe you can give good reasons why he was
wrong in those or other cases, and not being a hawk myself I'd probably even agree with you... but a bumbling warmonger?
I gather that you think any support for military intervention is prima facie unreasonable, in any given case, reasonable people can disagree about that. And it's important that someone is making that case, especially if no one else will.
Moreover, even if you think it's in any way useful (rather than the transparent attempt at a hit job) look at that map - the dark red countries are Libya, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Pretty sure you could find more than a couple of Democrats who were contemplating intervention in those places as well.
