I would call it a fundamental disagreement with him. In my opinion, he went too far in her direction with Syria, Libya, and Crimea. He should have just encouraged everyone to come to a peaceful resolution without the threats and condemnations. Below is the mindset that got us into two wars:
“There’s a vacuum because we’ve decided to lower our voice. We’ve decided to step back. We’ve decided that if we step back and lower our voice, others will lead, other things will fill that vacuum.” Citing Bashar al Assad’s slaughter in Syria, Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, al Qaeda’s triumphant return to Fallujah, Iraq, and China’s nationalist fervor, she concluded: “When America steps back and there is a vacuum, trouble will fill that vacuum.”
We don't need to be the "world police". I prefer this type of sentiment with foreign policy:

George Washington letter to Partick Henry
Categories: Foreign Policy
Date: October 9, 1775
My ardent desire is, and my aim has been . . . to comply strictly with all our engagements foreign and domestic;
but to keep the United States free from political connections with every other Country. To see that they may be independent of all, and under the influence of none.
In a word, I want an American character, that the powers of Europe may be convinced we act for ourselves and not for others; this, in my judgment, is the only way to be respected abroad and happy at home."

George Washington Farewell Address
Categories: Foreign Policy
Date: September 19, 1796
'Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent Alliances, with any portion of the foreign world.
Whose foreign policy is closer to George Washington's, Condi's and the Bolton types or Obama's and the Carter types? That said, I like and respect Ms. Rice and I would vote for her over Hillary Clinton.
