She completely fouled up US embassy activity in the Sudan in the mid-1990s and the attempt to arrest Osama Bin Laden.

I didn't know that, but knowing of Clinton's lack of interest in seeing Bin Laden captured, I can't help but wonder if she fouled it up intentionally (or under orders from on high).

Curiously, Rice hated Sudan President Bashir, but would do nothing to help overthrow his government or provide help for the southern Sudanese rebels in the long civil war. She recommended that we close the US embassy in Khartoum, and when we did, we were left blind for a long time. She was part of the Clinton group that spurned the Bin Laden exchange, but that foul-up was due more to Clinton cowardice than anything else.
