Well, I haven''t heard all of what Hillary claims that she did in the foreign policy realm. So I cannot comment on whether she exxagerated or not. But it is obvious to me that being First Lady for eight years she gained a wealth of foreign policy experience and wprked both before and behind the scenes. Furthermore,just because Anthony Lake didn''t hear that Hillary may have advocated intervention in Rwanda does not necessarily mean that it didn''t happen.

The other day on NPR (Morning Edition interview with John Innskeep.)I heard Barack say that he had five years of foreign policy experience. How can that be when he has been senator for just three years?? Certainly, he can''t be claiming foreign policy experience as an Illinois State Senator?? Now, that it really a stretch forget Hillary.

Sen. Clinton can''t tell the truth about the details of her experience because she will embarrass her husband former Pres. Bill Clinton. If you recall former Pres. Bill Clinton has said on occasion that Hillary is one of the smartest people he knows and he consults with her often. Translated, this could mean that when Bill made important decisions he consulted with Hillary and got her advice, also, everyone thinks Bill is the smarter of the two but in fact it may actually be Hillary! Hillary can''t come out and say I made the decisions for this and that while Bill was President because its too embarrassing, but she probably did on occasion and does have experience she can''t claim! Bill is a better public speaker but Hillary may in fact be the real brains, whatever, they are both smart! But back to the lie, yep, Sen. Clinton got caught red handed lying about her NAFTA position, but the real surprise may come with the release of her Tax Returns and the disclosures in them may be the other shoe dropping and end her campaign!

ALL YOU BLOG HEADS

I believe that all of us, owe a duty to the public and must stand for the truth.

Please do yourself a favor and spend a few minutes of your time to see and hear the FULL SERMONS of Obama''s Pastor and then let your conscious speak. As a Christian this is your moral duty.

Re: The chickens have come to roost

I read articles on a regular bases Yes! in Politics (people, newspapers etc.) often differ in opinions. This is natural human trait.

BUT to manipulate and give out false news and info is very distressing especially when it concerns the Religion.

I am a non-christian but it does bother me when Christians bash other Christians with false accusations. May God bless you and open up your heart. If you have to say something -- do it but do it without a prejudiced mind.

the claims are exactly the same as those that Bush used to invade Irak.

I just try to bring out the truth when I feel what''''s been written differs from factual evidence that I have.

----------------------


Clinton claims to have "negotiated open borders" in Macedonia to fleeing Kosovar refugees. But the Macedonian border opened a full day before she arrived, and her meetings with Macedonian officials were too brief to allow for much serious negotiating.

Clinton''s activities "helped bring peace to Northern Ireland." Irish officials are divided as to how helpful Clinton''s actions were, and key players agree that she was not directly involved in any actual negotiations.

Clinton has repeatedly referenced her "dangerous" trip to Bosnia. She fails to mention, however, that the Bosnian war had officially ended three months before her visit %u2013 or that she made the trip with her 16-year-old daughter and two entertainers.

Both Bill and Hillary Clinton claim that Hillary privately championed the use of U.S. troops to stop the genocide in Rwanda. That conversation left no public record, however, as U.S. policy was explicitly to stay out of Rwanda, and officials say that the use of U.S. troops was never considered.

Clinton''s tough speech on human rights delivered to a Beijing audience is as advertised, though Clinton herself has been dismissive of speeches that aren''t backed by solutions
-------------------
Just a few of her documented claims.

She has "imbellished" her foriegn policy credentials and experience far, far beyond what the record and evidence indicates.

I think you exaggerate. I''ve seen several people comment that she''s claimed she''s solved major foreign policy crises single-handedly, and then they proceed to discredit her as a liar. I think her claims have been more limited and modest than people who dislike her for whatever reason are willing to acknowledge. Some people have claimed that she''s said she had "national security clearance" and isn''t that laughable. I''ve never heard her claim anything of the sort. I don''t get the sense that she is unaware of her limitations, but that is hard for anyone not close to her to access.

If you don''t want to vote for her, that''s your right and I don''t really care. I just try to bring out the truth when I feel it differs from factual information I have.

I''m not a Libra. I chose that name because it means "free". I''m a scientist and it didn''t occur to me to think of the zodiac.
