FOREIGN POLICY
Hillary Clinton claims great foreign policy, but when her advisers were asked to provide examples in an interview with Slate, there was a long silence. They failed to provide any.
BOSNIA
Hillary said she was under sniper fire in Bosnia, and the greeting ceremony had to be canceled. News footage shows no sniper fire and the greeting ceremony went on as planned.
NORTHERN IRELAND
In New Hampshire, January 2008, Hillary said:
“I went to [Northern Ireland] more than my husband did. I was working to help change the atmosphere among people because leaders alone rarely make peace. I remember a meeting that I pulled together in Belfast, in the town hall there, bringing together Catholics and Protestants…”
There is no record of any such meeting. Hillary did however attend a ceremony in 1995 where Bill Clinton turned on some Christmas lights. After the meeting, Hillary met with some women at the Lamp Lighter Cafe. Hillary was given a tea pot as a gift.
On March 2008, Hillary told CNN,
“I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland.”
The Daily Telegraph reported in 1998 that Hillary Clinton played no part in political talks over the years. The former first Minister of Northern Ireland, Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, called her claims “a wee bit silly”.
NAFTA
Hillary claims a long-standing opposition to NAFTA saying, “I have been a critic of NAFTA from the very beginning.” MSNBC airs footage about the newly released White House documents which show:
- She held at least 5 strategy meetings for congressional approval of NAFTA.
- She helped block labor and environmental opposition of NAFTA.
- She was the featured speaker at a crucial meeting on Nov. 10, 1993 where 120 opinion leaders were asked to helped lobby the senate for passage of the NAFTA deal.
NATIONAL SECURITY
Hillary Clinton did not have security clearance in the White House for the most sensitive of conversations about national security.

I am not a Hillary fan.
What she said could be a simple mistake.
This is what really concerns me:
We need to know the truth about Obama.
Obama has not provided records when asked by many
news sources such as Tim Russert, The Chicago Tribune,
and The Chicago Sun Times. He has only provided
lame excuses.
Obama used drugs when he was younger.
Obama has been accused of drug use in November 1999.
Robert Johnson, the founder of BET, stated:
“Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood - and I won’t
say what he was doing, but he said it in the book - when they have
been involved.”
Johnson apologized.
However, Obama spokesman Bill Burton stated:
“His tortured explanation doesn’t hold up against his original
statement.”
Obama was absent from the Illinois Senate
on November 4, 1999. His name was on 2 bills
mentioned during that session.
Does anyone know where Obama was on November 4?
You are no Hillary Clinton fan, but you are giving her a free pass on the MULTIPLE lies listed above as a “simple mistake”?
Lies that she maintained on multiple occasions were true only until the evidence showed otherwise?
And yet, you take unverified accusations against Obama as potential truth? Robert Johnson is a very active Hillary Clinton supporter.
I’ll take Obama any day over Hillary.
Ha! Hillary supporters will say anything to make her look innocent. Good stuff. That’s why they call her Hilliary.
I am not a Hillary supporter.

I love this country and I care.
