Hillary as Secretary of State
"When the history is written of the 20th and 21st century, there will be a special place for Hillary Clinton in the world leader category," Reid said in introducing her.
Black Africans are being sold in open-air slave markets, and it’s Hillary Clinton’s fault. But you won’t hear much about that from the news media or the foreign-policy pundits, so let me explain.
Footage from Libya, released recently by CNN, showed young men from sub-Saharan Africa being auctioned off as farm workers in slave markets.
And how did we get to this point? As the BBC reported back in May, “Libya has been beset by chaos since NATO-backed forces overthrew long-serving ruler Col. Moammar Gadhafi in October 2011.”
And who was behind that overthrow? None other than then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"She told me," Maxwell told Attkisson, 'Ray, we are to go through these stacks (of documents) and pull out anything that might put anybody in the (Near Eastern Affairs) front office on the seventh floor in a bad light.'" The "seventh floor," Attkisson notes, was State Department "shorthand" for then Secretary of State Clinton and her staff.

The Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars from seven foreign governments during Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, including one donation that violated its ethics agreement with the Obama administration, foundation officials disclosed Wednesday... The new disclosures, provided in response to questions from The Washington Post, make clear that the 2008 agreement did not prohibit foreign countries with interests before the U.S. government from giving money to the charity closely linked to the secretary of state.

It's been two years now since Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown and President Obama's supporters in the foreign policy community hailed the U.S.-backed effort as a triumph of "smart diplomacy," in contrast to what they saw as the Iraq "fiasco."... "The accounts of the officials, who asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the topic, are more evidence that this city in Libya has become a regional hub for Islamist extremists seeking to hone their combat skills."

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Judith Miller tells Newsmax TV that the Obama White House “is not in a position to influence the outcome of things either in Egypt or Syria.” “We’re in a very, very desperate state when it comes to the Middle East now,” Miller, formerly of the New York Times, tells Newsmax in an exclusive interview. “We have Islamist-leaning governments or Islamist governments in power in virtually every country that used to be aligned with the United States, and that’s why President Obama has drawn the line for Egypt.

President Obama touts foreign policy as a bright spot in his presidency, but former President Carter’s national security adviser says that the United States is “rapidly, rapidly” losing power in the Middle East. “We’re dealing here with a messy region which is increasingly slipping into increased instability — a region in which American domination is rapidly, rapidly coming to an end,” Zbigniew Brzezinski said today on Morning Joe.

After improving with the election of Barack Obama in 2008, U.S. favorable ratings across the Arab world have plummeted. In most countries they are lower than at the end of the Bush Administration, and lower than Iran's favorable ratings (except in Saudi Arabia).

President Obama has failed to live up to the expectations he created in the Arab world, according to a new poll released by IBOPE Zogby International and the Arab American Institute Foundation. The poll also noted that most Arab countries view the U.S. less favorably today than they did during the last year of the Bush administration.

She mentioned that in several occasions, China's ties with new American president usually don't start off so well, but gradually improve with time. She said that now, there is an opposite process – after Obama was elected last year, ties between China and the United States got off on the right foot, and ever since the recent developments have been deteriorating.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Protesters threw tomatoes and shoes at U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's motorcade on Sunday during her first visit to Egypt since the election of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was taunted by chants of "Monica, Monica" by tomato-throwing demonstrators as she visited the Egyptian port city of Alexandria on Sunday. The chants, referring to the Monica Lewinsky scandal when her husband, Bill Clinton, was president, were heard outside the US consulate as she visited for its reopening. An embarrassed Egyptian security official said they were chanting "Monica, Monica" and "Irhal, Clinton" (Get out, Clinton.)

Hillary Clinton’s comments to Woods raise even more questions about the White House’s official story on the Benghazi attack, which has already been extremely inconsistent. After apologizing for his loss, Woods said Clinton told him that the U.S. would “make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.”

It is the fear of every party guest, turning up in an outfit not suited to the dress code. And unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, her slip up was witnessed by top government officials from across the globe.
The overthrow turned out to be a debacle.
Libya exploded into chaos and civil war, and refugees flooded Europe, destabilizing governments there. But at the time, Clinton thought it was a great triumph — "We came, we saw, he died,” she joked about Gadhafi’s overthrow — and adviser Sidney Blumenthal encouraged her to tout her "successful strategy" as evidence of her fitness for the highest office in the land.

Hillary Clinton gave Sergei Lavrov a mock "reset" button, symbolising US hopes to mend frayed ties with Moscow. But he said the word the Americans chose, "peregruzka", meant "overloaded" or "overcharged", rather than "reset".

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Sunday there was "gross negligence" in the handling of security for the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya... "What went wrong was that the policy and decision makers at the Department of State did not make the right security call, and I argue it's gross negligence." He charged that Ambassador Chris Stevens and the other Americans who died in the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S.Consulate in Benghaz didn't have adequate security and that "somebody should be held accountable."
