The Chicago Tribune shows that Hillary Clinton’s foreign experience is almost zero:
Clinton’s experience claim under scrutiny
Hillary Clinton may have influenced foreign policy, but evidence is scant she played pivotal role.
As Andrew Sullivan says:
The Chicago Tribune does us all a service by examining what exactly is Senator Clinton’s experience.
Read the whole thing, but the Macedonia and Northern Ireland claims are the most revealing:
Pressed in a CNN interview this week for specific examples of foreign policy experience that has prepared her for an international crisis, Clinton claimed that she “helped to bring peace” to Northern Ireland and negotiated with Macedonia to open up its border to refugees from Kosovo.
Both claims are ludicrously untrue.
All she did in Northern Ireland was have tea with some local peace activist women. Laura Bush could argue, by that token, that she has ended AIDS in Africa.
But here’s the beaut:
The Macedonian government opened its border to refugees the day before Clinton arrived to meet with government leaders.
Clinton has next to no foreign policy experience.And no executive experience.
So, it seems that lying is a Clinton political tradition.
