You got her calling the reporting shots now.....??

Since you won't take the time to look up some accomplishments, I'll do it for you:


She reopened nuclear negotiations with North Korea, even authorizing bilateral talks, which George W. Bush had adamantly refused to conduct all through his first term as president.
She persuaded Bush to endorse similar (if less promising) negotiations that Britain, France, and Germany had initiated with Iran, which he had also vigorously opposed.

She crafted the terms of a United Nations resolution to investigate war crimes in Sudan, a measure that first-term Bush had resisted.

She stopped the campaign-which had been launched with great verve by Vice President Dick Cheney-to replace Mohamed elBaradei as chair of the International Atomic Energy Agency and then got United State intelligence agencies to resume briefing IAEA officials, a practice that had also been discontinued in the first term.

As a prerequisite to all the above accomplishments, she staved off Cheney's intense efforts to appoint his protégé,John Bolton, as deputy secretary of state and acknowledged Bolton's unsuitability for a concession prize-U.N. ambassador-by assuring Democratic opponents that he would be carefully "supervised."
Maybe you missed what happened with Clarke

Anyway, No matter. She ain't going to be his running mate. Not that she would be any worse than the rest of the pack. Just never get why she is considered anything but average.

You are missing the point, Dave. You are supposed to hate her solely on the fact she is a Republican and served under that evil Bush fellow. Therefor, nothing she does will ever be considered good.

Hence why Mikeyy is throwing out 9/11 conspiracy theories and the likes. If you cannot pin anything solid on her, make sh*t up.

Paul O'Neil said in his book that Cheney and Rummy were not interested in what Clark had to say about Osama because they were already making plans for Saddam and Iraq, pre 911......


Yep.....

But, you're probably right.......

How could Comet be right when I just told you who I thought was responsable for 9-11 and I just told you I don't hate her. These are the two things Comet just said that I specifically said the opposite about. And then you think he is right? Wow you and Comet are becoming one. No point in debating because you go with the words Comet puts in my mouth. Saying that I don't think she was a success and is over-rated doesn't equate to hate. So I guess if you don't agree she is brilliant you must hate her. OK
