She is the most overrated Secretary of State in modern times. She has either been a failure or AWOL on every major foreign policy issue: Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, the Middle East, and Afghanistan. When the crud has hit the fan, she’s always managed to be far away, like in Papua New Guinea or someplace, talking about something irrelevant. She’s been incredibly deft at self-protection, letting others take the criticism for things such as: the Russians moving tactical nukes closer to the border with our allies in Eastern Europe; the Chinese building up their military, proliferating nuclear technology, and letting North Korea run wild; the Iranians slaughtering their own people while pressing ahead with nuclear weapons; the North Koreans killing our South Korean allies with impunity; the collapse of the Middle East “peace” process; the lateral movement after the surge in Afghanistan, while the Afghans continue to wallow in outright corruption; and the growing alliances between bad guys such as Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.
Hillary Clinton has either tried and failed to manage these problems, or she has checked out altogether.
Great SecState? Even Warren Christopher was better than this.
Of course, just when you think she can’t get any worse, Rodham strikes again.
Over the weekend, she was in the United Arab Emirates. In a townhall-style meeting, she was asked about 9/11, and she responded this way: “We have extremists in my country,” and then, referring to the Arizona shooting, she told her Arab audience that a Congresswoman “was just shot by an extremist in our country.”
[The above is not my own. In the weeks since I saved this, I have lost the link. I am sure it can be found on the internet, and more importantly, the author is accurate and raises several factual statements she has made - we have extremists, Arizona as an example ... yet we find out the guy in Arizona hated Bush and was actually driven by leftist ideology more than rightwing idiocy. He was mentally unstable and for a Secretary of State to make those statements is beneath the office of the Secretary and further contributes to anti-Americanism, lies about the US as extremist and that we kill each other when we are not happy about something. She should have been fired over the comment.]
