Clinton's Farewell Marred by Embassy Bombing
CNN ^ | February 1, 2013 | Tom Cohen

Washington (CNN) -- A final meeting with the president. A farewell address to the State Department staff. A terrorist attack at the U.S. Embassy in Turkey.

Hillary Clinton's last day as secretary of state on Friday seemed to be a microcosm of her four globe-trotting years as America's top diplomat.

The former first lady had a full schedule, as usual, meeting in private with President Barack Obama at the White House and then attending the send-off ceremony with clapping, cheering workers at the agency she led.

Those events were clouded by a suicide bombing earlier in the day in Ankara that killed the attacker and a Turkish security guard at the embassy. No Americans were killed or injured.

Clinton traveled nearly 1 million miles and visited 112 countries in her quest as secretary to promote better understanding of the United States and its role in the world.

That mean and inconsiderate terrorist! To pick this day of all days to blow himself up and kill a security guard!

Perhaps he was not fully informed of the seriousness of the situation.

What's this "Clinton's Farewell Marred by Embassy Bombing"? That's the perfect and most appropriate way for this administration to end the term of the prior SOS.

And yes, at this point, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!!!!! That phrase should go on her tombstone. Along with "you won't find a shred of evidence on that..." and "that's so outrageous, I won't dignify it with a response!"

An appropriate end to the most amateurish foreign policy period in American History. Now we start with a Sec of State that already has repeatedly demonstrated that he hates this Country!

No, the State Department was marred, mugged, and boinked by the Hillabeast. She is a prime example of an Obamadork pick: dishonest, incompetent, and without redeeming social value.

Maddening, ain’t it? I can’t remember a time in my life when I was more afraid for our safety.

agree,but i believe a record 8 embassy attacks during her tenure is a disgrace on top of the lousy job she did...just pathetic.

Your pic #17 - hillary looks horrendous. She looks like a barnyard animal/a hefty piglet with that bulging, swollen face.
