The Patriot Post® · Hillary Accomplished 'An Enormous Amount' at State

Still desperate to defend her legacy as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton said, “I think there was an enormous amount accomplished in four years.” Really? What did she achieve? “Number one,” she said, “restoring American leadership and reputation after inheriting two wars, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and a collapsed economic system, I think that President Obama’s leadership and those of us who were his partners did a great deal to move us forward in the right direction. The pivot to Asia was necessary because many of our Asian friends and partners thought the United States had basically walked away from being a presence in the Pacific. I brought about three face-to-face meetings between Netanyahu and Abbas in an effort to continue to push for a two-state solution.” And that’s worked about as well as the Russian “reset” she’s so proud of. Everything else she mentioned is drivel – nothing more than her perception of her own “smart power.” In fact, the U.S. has rarely been weaker. And that’s (partly) her “accomplishment.”
