Hillary’s Service as Secretary of State: A Failure of Leadership (and a National Security Disaster)

By Kenneth Eliasberg

In evaluating Hillary Clinton’s competence, a good place to start is to take a close look at her tour of duty as Secretary of State. Is the U.S. safer and/or held in higher regard around the world as a result of her efforts?

 

Perhaps it might be worthwhile to note why she got that appointment: Not because of either her acumen or experience. Rather it was Barack Obama extending the olive branch in order to bring a fractured Democratic Party together -- fractured because of a very heated and divisive Democrat primary.

 

That said, even a cursory examination of her service in this position yields up a resoundingly negative answer to that question. As has already been frequently noted, her tour began with her screwing up the Russian reset button, and it ended with her Benghazi dereliction, leading to the death of 4 Americans. What happened in between these bookends, and what are the consequences of those happenings.

 

Let’s start with the Middle East, that boiling cauldron of infidel hatred. Syria, where, you may recall, President Obama drew a red line (apparently in invisible ink) should Assad use chemical weapons against the insurrectionists

Wearing that suit of Secretary of State accomplishments is like getting into the same wedding dress Killary wore when she married Billy Jeff Clinton...it doesn't look so good...it doesn't fit...and altering it in public will only satisfy the glossy-eyed idiots that wouldn't care if the Queen was naked.

 

Oooh...bad image.

Yesterday, Hillary Clinton gave a major foreign policy speech in San Diego. If you’re interested in seeing it for yourself, the video is here, and the transcript ishere. However, we watched it all (35 minutes worth) so you don’t have to (and you damn well better freakin’ love us for it). In the speech Clinton laid out how her ideas for a “smart and disciplined foreign policy” contrast with Donald Trump’s, which she called “dangerously incoherent” and “not even really ideas – just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.” https://ricochet.com/foreign-policy-speech-hillary-eviscerates-donald/
