Hillary is being far too modest. She and Obama have several noteworthy accomplishments on their ledger. Number one, overthrowing the Egyptian government of Hosni Mubarak, a US ally of 30 years who kept a peace with israel despite fervent opposition iwithin Egypt from the muslim brotherhood. That would be the same muslim brotherhood they were thrilled to see take power in an election, and hose ouster they are still angry about.
Second, overthrowing the Libyan government. Libyan dictator Khaddafi was not an ally, but George Bush had frightened him into not being an enemy and actually cooperating with us. Hillary and Obama sent in air power to aid the insurgents, who were largely al qaida-linked militias. Of course, when our own Ambassador was under attack from the very people they had helped, they refused to send in air power or anything else to help.
Perhaps Hillary's biggest triumph was an unintended consequence of the Khaddafi overthrow. As a fornmer security official described it:
"Michael Leiter, former director of the National Counter Terrorism Center and now an NBC News analyst, says Central Africa is brimming with the weapons, a situation made worse when the Libyan arms depots were looted during the 2011 Arab Spring.
"The collapse of Libya has further flooded the market,â said Leiter. "Whether these came from Chad, Nigeria, or Libya is almost irrelevant, as such arms are widely available." " http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/mi...rls-where-boko-haram-gets-its-weapons-n104861
So ironically, those waving hashtags and making sad faces are themselves responsible, albeit indirectly, for arming Boko and numerous other al qaida groups in africa.
Of course, none of this matters to the mainstream media, who have annointed Hillary the greatest Secretary of State in recent memory. Like with Obama's Nobel prize though, just don't ask them to justify it with any actual facts.
