Hillary was the Worst SOS in US History

List of Accomplishments:

Gave Russia a reset button which reset cold war

Lack of a coherent plan to address the Arab Spring

Deteriorating relations with Israel

Assessment of Bashar al-Assad (whom she labeled a “reformer”)

Cluelessness that withdrawal of U.S. forces in Iraq would give the radicals a foothold

Overthrow of Gaddafi leaving void for radical Islamic takeover

Cut diplomatic security after overthrow despite ambassador requests for help leading directly to his death

Benghazi scandal... lies to cover her and Obama's ass right before election.

Lack of bringing to justice the jihadists who killed our 4 Americans

Victory lap on Osama bin Laden giving a false impression of al-Qaeda’s decimation

Blindsiding the Israeli prime minister with a public declaration of U.S. policy on “1967 borders”

Backing Hugo Chavez’s candidate in Honduras rather than the middle and business classes’ choice (who was also pro-American)

Relaxation of Cuban sanctions followed by Alan Gross’s imprisonment

Surprising Poland and the Czech Republic by pulling out anti-missile sites

Embracing Hosni Mubarak (calling him a family friend) just when pressure was needed to prevent what ultimately became his overthrow

The lack of a cogent approach to the Middle East

Failing to take decisive action in Syria before jihadists poured into the country

Downplaying human rights, especially with China

Failing to robustly support the Green Revolution

Engagement of Iran and foot-dragging on sanctions, allowing Iran to reach the cusp of a nuclear weapons capability

Announced “pivot” to Asia without carrying through

Erased email server contents of OUR record to cover her ass

Clinton cash

Maintaining the status quo with Pakistan

All while running a pay for play scheme for access to DOS favors to enrich the Clinton slushfund.

Here are emails not turned over by hillary... they were discovered by hackers.

Sidney Blumenthal writes to Hillary Clinton about Libya Intervention:

First, brava! This is a historic moment and you will be credited for realizing it.

When Qaddafi himself is finally removed, you should of course make a public statement before the cameras wherever you are, even in the driveway of your vacation house. You must establish yourself in the historical record at this moment.

The most important phrase is: “successful strategy.” …

This is a very big moment historically and for you. History will tell your part in it. You are vindicated.

Be aware that some may attempt to justify the flamingly stupid “leading from behind” phrase, junior types on the NSC imagining their cleverness. To refute this passive construction on US policy and help remove it as an albatross from the administration as it enters the election year, do not be defensive but rather simply explain that the US had a clear strategy from the start, stuck with it and has succeeded.

Do not skimp on the reasons in the US interest behind the successful strategy: We prevented a humanitarian tragedy on a vast scale. … The US has demonstrated its principled belief in the rule of law and acted on the basis of the United Nations resolution. We have supported the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people for democracy and freedom. We have ousted a murderous dictator who has been terrorism, civil war throughout Africa and a prop for dictators elsewhere. By acting in Libya we have helped advance the cause of democracy and freedom throughout the Arab world. … We have put Assad on notice that the sands of time have run out for him as well. Our successful strategy in Libya stands as a warning that our strategy will work again.

Hillary is either the most incompetent person ever put in charge of a major govt dept... or she’s a criminal.

There’s no in-between or wishy-washy leftist rationalizations.

Isn't this where someone... anyone... lists her accomplishments? Oh well... I'll list them for you:

The destruction of Col. K was an American goal for thirty years. Thank you for acknowledging Hillary's part in the same. She did not make the goal.....it was there before she arrived......she just helped accomplish the goal with President Obama.....you know the guy who is inching near 60% approval......sorry....you lose.

Were she not complicit in so much destruction, one would almost feel bad for Condoleezza Rice. Raised in a proud, educated Southern black family that instilled in her the need to be twice as good as everybody else, Rice has been devoted, above all else, to personal achievement. Her father opposed the collective activism of Martin Luther King, believing in self-advancement through individual excellence; like him, she seems to have been determined to transcend discrimination through sheer determination. In the conclusion to her recent biography of Rice, Elisabeth Bumiller wrote: "It was obvious from Rices many metamorphoses that her real ideology was not idealism or realism or defending the citadels of freedom, although she displayed elements of all of them. Her real ideology was succeeding." Yet her legacy is one of almost unrelieved failure.

The faults of many of Bush's accomplices - including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Scooter Libby - lay in the rigidity of their world views, which were cultishly impermeable to contradictory evidence. Rice's fatal flaw is almost the opposite - she seems to have few core political beliefs at all, save her libertarian faith in personal striving. She advanced as the protege of a succession of powerful men, among them Josef Korbel, the Czechoslovakian emigre professor (and father of Madeleine Albright); Brent Scowcroft, the arch-realist national security adviser to the first president Bush; and, of course, George Bush. These men had quite different political orientations, but she adopted them all, mirroring the views of her mentors in ways they all found captivating.

So for all her learning and expertise, there was no way this ambitious cipher could guide Bush, or push against his passionately committed ideologues. Instead, she flattered and followed. As Bumiller wrote, one reason Bush was so taken with Rice was "she never made him feel inadequate or ignorant."

Her eight years in the administration - four as national security adviser, four as secretary of state - are a record of devastating lack of leadership and initiative. Before September 11, she was unresponsive to counterterrorism tsar Richard Clark's urgent warnings about al-Qaida, and downgraded his position. Casting off her realism, she joined Bush in his reckless rush into Iraq. David Kay, the former US weapons inspector in Iraq, has put much of the blame for the wars faulty justification on Rice's shoulders. As secretary of state, she pushed Bush's ad hoc agenda of democracy promotion by pressing for the Palestinian elections that brought Hamas to power. Then, seemingly unprepared for the result, she showed the shallowness of America's commitment to democratic legitimacy by arranging the political boycott of the new government. She deserves no small slice of blame for the current carnage in Gaza.

Yet for all her culpability, there's an element of pathos to her story as well. Had she attached herself to a better person than Bush, her knowledge, drive and poise might have been put to good use. She might have bettered the world along with herself.

Lol... it's not considered an accomplishment when it turns to shit sherlock. Unless that was the goal?

Using leftist logic... iraq was a success? Right?

Oh wait... that was a pub... never mind. But it would've been if it was a dem. Amiright?
