Her memory is selective and inventive. Rose Law Office documents. Whitewater. Ducking bullets at an Eastern European airport. On and on and on.

Behold what "Smart Power" hath wrought: Obama's careening and incomprehensible handling of the Syrian crisis.....doing a Costa Concordia with US ntl security and foreign policy. Obama outed himself as naive, isolated....and outlandishly stupid. Not to forget then-Secy of State Hillary's part in the "Smart Power" debacle.
Democrats' 'Smart Power' Lies in Ruins; Suddenly
Realizing What They Miscalculated About the World:
Everything
National Review | Sept 3, 2013 | Jim Geraghty / FR Posted by kristinn
....... Democrats are suddenly realizing that their foreign policy brain-trust completely misjudged the world.
Being nicer to countries like Russia will not make them nicer to you. The United Nations is not an effective tool for resolving crises. Some foreign leaders are beyond persuasion and diplomacy. There is no “international community” ready to work together to solve problems, and there probably never will be.
You can pin this on Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Susan Rice, but most of all, the buck stops with the president. Those of us who scoffed a bit at a state senator ascending to the presidency within four years on a wave of media hype and adoration are not quite so shocked by this current mess.
We never bought into this notion that getting greater cooperation from our allies, and less hostility from our enemies, was just a matter of giving this crew the wheel and letting them practice, as Hillary Clinton arrogantly declared it, “smart power” (and fronted Time magazine cover).
(These people can’t even label a foreign policy approach without reminding us of how highly they think of themselves.)
They looked out at the world at the end of the Bush years, and didn’t see tough decisions, unsolvable problems, unstable institutions, restless populations, technology enabling the impulse to destabilize existing institutions, evil men hungry for more power, and difficult trade-offs.
No, our problems and challengers were just a matter of the previous hands running U.S. foreign policy not being smart enough. (Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ...

SMART POWER IN ACTION (/SNIX) Why did Hillary and Obama use US personnel, equipment and facilities to overthrow the government of Libya? Had they ever made that a main point of their foreign policy? It’s about the money. That’s why they are fighting so hard to keep this covered up. What are all the soccer Moms and college kids going to say when they find out the Democrat leaders kill for money?

THIS JUST IN "Smart power" got Obama to cut off aid to Egypt (US $$ aid goes to the Egyptian military). We clearly see the ambitious hand of smart power fanatic, Hillary Clinton, in the Egyptian aid cutoff.
Why?
B/c the Egyptian military just arrested the Clintons' Muslim Brotherhood employee for inciting Mideast terror at the same time he was "doing good" at the Clinton tax-exempt foundation.
