It was just yesterday, April 3, 2014, that the presumed front-runner of the Democrat Party for 2016, none other than Hitlery Clinton, appeared at a gathering referred to as the Women of the World Summit which took place in New York City. And it was at this get together for supposed enlighten females, that Hitlery was asked what it was that she was most proud of during her tenure as Secretary of State. But try as she might the old girl just couldn’t come up with even one concrete example of the numerous accomplishments that she supposedly holds in such high regard. Which only means that she’s in pretty much the same predicament that most of us are in. Can anyone honestly say that our country benefited from her time as our secretary of state?
The moderator asked, "When you look at your time as Secretary of State, what are you most proud of? And what do you feel was unfinished, and maybe have another crack at one day?" To which she, the smartest women in the world, responded, "Well, I really see — that was good — that’s why he wins prizes. Look, I really see my role as Secretary, in fact leadership in general in a democracy, as a relay race. When you run the best race you can run, you hand off the baton. Some of what hasn’t been finished may go on to be finished, so when President Obama asked me to be Secretary of State I agreed." What? Can you run that by me one more time, if you please, I’m not quite sure I got it the first time? I think I must have missed something.
She continued, "We had the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, we had two wars. We had continuing threats from all kinds of corners around the world that we had to deal with. So it was a perilous time frankly. What he said to me was, ‘Look, I have to be dealing with the economic crisis, I want you to go out and represent us around the world.’ And it was a good division of labor because we needed to make it clear to the rest of the world, that we were going to get our house in order. We were going to stimulate, and grow, and get back to positive growth and work with our friends and partners." Hitlery went on to say that she’s proud of the solid leadership from the administration and that they have restored American leadership in the best sense.
And continued, "So I think we did that. I’m very proud of the stabilization and the really solid leadership that the administration provided that I think now, leads us to be able to deal with problems like Ukraine because we’re not so worried about a massive collapse in Europe and China — trying to figure out to do with all their bond holdings and all the problems we were obsessed with. I think we really restored American leadership in the best sense. That, once again — people began to rely on us as setting the values, setting the standards. I just don’t want to lose that because we have a dysfunctional political situation in Washington. Then of course, a lot of particulars, but I am finishing my book so you’ll be able to read all about it."
So, what is it, exactly, that we will all get to read all about? Perhaps about what difference it makes that four Americans, including one of her ambassadors, were brutally butchered in Benghazi? Might that be in that new book of hers? Call me silly, but somehow I doubt it. But I suppose she does have her fan club made up of those who will claim that, despite any facts that may prove otherwise, you simply can’t say that Hitlery Clinton was the worst secretary of state in our history. After all, wasn’t it Sec. of State William Jennings Bryan who resigned in 1915 when President Wilson typed a too-one-sided note to Germany following the torpedoing of the Lusitania? Bryan thought Germany was being ill-used by the dithering Woodrow Wilson.
And let’s not forget Cyrus Vance, Carter’s less than stellar secretary of state. He quit Carter's Cabinet in the wake of the failed effort to rescue our 52 hostages in Iran. But let’s not forget that Vance quit not because the rescue attempt failed, he quit because it was attempted in the first place. Yet Hitlery ‘was’ worse, much worse. It was she who hailed the election of Mohamed Morsi as Egypt's president. This Muslim Brotherhood thug had pledged to be president of all Egyptians. But tell that to the Copts and the Evangelicals. He never considered them part of Egypt's polity. Sharia was his program. Jihad was his way. For confirmation, simply consult the Muslim Brotherhood's own founding documents and its unswerving statements.
Worst of all in the performance of this the worst of all secretaries of state, was her near constant lashing of Israel. She was complicit in this administration's "counting Jews in Jerusalem." As the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET) Founder and President, Sarah Stern, pointed out, it was Hitlery who stood by, mute, as Egypt's new foreign minister radically reinterpreted that country's 33-year-old treaty with Israel. Foreign Minister Amr, quoting the then new Muslim Brotherhood president, claimed that the treaty should stand only if based on the pre-1967 borders of Israel. In brief, that means Israel shrunken to nine miles at the narrowest point -- a wholly indefensible border. But Madame Secretary was not just a disaster throughout the Mideast, her ineptitude went far beyond.
Her Russian policy was nothing short of a complete disaster. You may recall her stern warnings that the Russians (and the Chinese) would pay a price for their vetoes of U.N. sanctions against Syria's Alawite regime. Hitlery's toothless threats to make Russia pay a price, I’m sure evoked much laughter in the Kremlin, in much the same way, I’m sure, that Barry’s do today when it comes to the Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Crimea. This is the same Russia to which she gave a pass with her infamous red "Reset" button in 2009. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was not amused at her adolescent gesture. He pointed out that she hadn't found the right Russian word for "reset", and the button was not even in Cyrillic characters.
As well, Madame Secretary was only too happy to further bend over by choosing not only to send ten Russian spies home, but send them home in first class. She didn't want to let anything disturb Barry's "Hamburger Summit" with then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. What an act of weakness! And the Soviets -- er, excuse me, Russians -- would not be slow to feel the slack in our foreign policy line. As that old adage says, nature abhors a vacuum, and it is much the same thing in the world of international affairs. Progressives like Hitlery, and Barry as well, refuse to admit that America has always been a force for good in the world. And when America refuses to lead, others will be only too happy to assume that important role.
Also it was also under the inept stewardship of Hitlery, what America would come to no longer have that "special relationship" with Great Britain. She repeatedly echoed Barry "Almighty's" use of the Argentinian name for the Falkland Islands. It was back in 1982 that Britain had to go to war with the military junta that ruled Argentina at that time in order to protect the right of Falkland Islanders to self-determination. President Ronald Reagan staunchly backed Britain and his stalwart ally, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. But no more. Madame Secretary refers to the Falklands as "Las Malvinas." But then, at least she didn't compound the gaffe by calling them the Maldives, as Barry "Almighty" did! Yes these two, Barry and Hitlery, made quite the team.
So while I recognize the fact that many of my fellow Americans will be only too happy to give Hitlery high marks, I have a feeling they may have an ulterior motive for doing so. That don’t want to take the chance of jeopardizing any chance that she might yet have to possibly take over the reins of power from her former boss. But in looking back at her horrendous record as secretary of state, we can only hope that that does not actually come to pass. And let’s not forget that on top of everything else Hitlery has continued to push an agenda of abortion and homosexuality worldwide. Neither of which this makes Americans any safer or more esteemed in the world. And just as she was not what America needed as secretary of state, she is most definitely not what America needs as a president.
