Based on her portrayal, she was a typical ambassador. She cared more for the country she was assigned to than her own. I literally wanted to strangle her while watching the movie. If she really conducted herself in such a way after the Cole attack, she deserves whatever comes to her, and I hope it's very bad.....
Google Bodine and enjoy a good read. The lady has been all over. In fact, she was appointed "gov" of Baghdad after the war ended and lasted three weeks. Bremer sacked her. But GWB appointed her from the State Dept. I was amazed.
Things are rarely as simple as they seem.
No. She was a typical Clinton appointee. She knew nothing and cared much more about throwing her position around than serving her coutnry. She was the "ugly" American.
