Liar,liar..pants on fire!
Yes she just keeps trucking along and the Whoppers keep adding up. Now she is going on the attack here ..about rev wright comments.I believe to deflect her obvious credibility problem.
According to:
Factcheck.org
* Clinton claims to have "negotiated open borders" in Macedonia to fleeing Kosovar refugees. But the Macedonian border opened a full day before she arrived, and her meetings with Macedonian officials were too brief to allow for much serious negotiating.
* Clinton's activities "helped bring peace to Northern Ireland." Irish officials are divided as to how helpful Clinton's actions were, and key players agree that she was not directly involved in any actual negotiations.
* Clinton has repeatedly referenced her "dangerous" trip to Bosnia. She fails to mention, however, that the Bosnian war had officially ended three months before her visit – or that she made the trip with her 16-year-old daughter and two entertainers.
* Both Bill and Hillary Clinton claim that Hillary privately championed the use of U.S. troops to stop the genocide in Rwanda. That conversation left no public record, however, as U.S. policy was explicitly to stay out of Rwanda, and officials say that the use of U.S. troops was never considered.
* Clinton's tough speech on human rights delivered to a Beijing audience is as advertised, though Clinton herself has been dismissive of speeches that aren't backed by solutions.
Indeed, the New York Times recently reported that, as first lady, Clinton did not hold a security clearance nor did she sit in on meetings with the National Security Council. We examined some of the specific examples of Sen. Clinton’s experience and found that most of them are weaker than advertised.
Hillary lie #1~ On March 5th in a CNN interview Clinton claimed that she helped "negotiate on matters such as opening borders for refugees during the war in Kosovo". Not true,Macedonia had re-opened it's borders for refugees the day before Clintons arrival. Clinton spent a total of 30 minutes with Macedonian President Kiro Gligrov. From Hillary's recently released White House papers we find that she met with Gligrov from 2:50 till 3:20 pm. Her "official travel schedule" states Clinton was in Macedonia less than 9 hours.Most of that time was spent touring refugee camps and doing photo-ops.
Was it a dangerous trip; well,yes landing in Kosovo was certainly more dangerous than staying in Washington, but Hillary landed more than 100 miles away from the nearest action in Albania. In fact prior visits to the refugee camp were made by the likes of Richard Gere and Bianca Jagger.
Hillary lie #2~ Clinton claims she "helped bring peace to Northern Ireland." Helped? Well I guess she didn't hurt or hinder the peace process. Most who were involved say she was "helpful and supportive", however, just how helpful was she? Is it possible that she is exaggerating her influence?
David Trimble, who shares the Nobel Peace Prize with John Hume for their work on the Good Friday Agreement,said:
Clinton's role was mainly that of "cheerleader" snd not one of a "principal player".
Most agree that Clinton was active in some "behind the scenes" support of the peace process, but then, so was U2's Bono -- who convinced Hume and Tremble to appear together for the first time...Link to story
Hillary lie #3~Of course many of us are now well aware of her Snipergate gaff. For those who have not seen JedReport's viral video..here it is...Hillary in Tulza
Sorry I can't give credit for this photoshop beauty,I copied it yesterday here at Kos..If you're here please post a tip jar,you deserve it.
Hillary lie #4~Rawanda:
At a campaign stop in Iowa in December 2007, Bill Clinton a gathering of potential caucus-goers that Hillary advocated the use of U.S. troops to stop the genocide in Rwanda. When asked whether it was true, Hillary Clinton replied with an unequivocal, "It is."
We will never know for sure what was said in private between the Clintons but we do know there is absolutely no evidence of Bill Clinton raising the possibility of deploying troops with any of his advisors. And their conversation is not recorded in either of their memoirs.
Prudence Bushnell, the State Department official who held the Rwanda portfolio during the Clinton administration, told the Tribune that the U.S. did not ever consider a military intervention in Rwanda. Bushnell is not affiliated with any campaign. For that matter, the U.S. took an active role in removing the few international peacekeeping forces that had been in place. According to an article in The Atlantic by Samantha Power of Harvard (and author of a Pulitzer Prize-winning book on America's role in combating genocide), "staying out of Rwanda was an explicit U.S. policy objective." Power, of course, was an Obama adviser until her celebrated reference to Clinton as a "monster," but Power's article was written in September 2001 – well before Obama ran for the U.S. Senate.
Hillary lie #5~Chinese Rights
~On March 5th Hillary told CNN:
"I've been standing up against the Chinese Government over Women's Rights."
She is referring to a speech
she gave in 1995 as part of the UN Fourth World Conference.
Well yes, she gave a highly praised and lively speech.But haven't we consistently heard from Clinton that~Obama offers "speeches" while she offers "solutions"? Does a tough speech count as Foreign Policy Experience? Her results seem to seriously lacking here as anyone one can easily tell from the Chinese Human Rights situation since 1995.
UPDATE #1~From~Patarico adamasso
Hillary's speech while bold and brave...
was given to a friendly audience. It was at an international women's seminar, not an address to the Chinese government.
She stood up and spoke while in China. But not to the Chinese government.
