Nobel winner: Hillary Clinton's "silly" Irish peace claims

[bijou]

Hillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province.

"I don’t know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill [Clinton] going around," he said. Her recent statements about being deeply involved were merely "the sort of thing people put in their canvassing leaflets" during elections. "She visited when things were happening, saw what was going on, she can certainly say it was part of her experience. I don’t want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player."

Mrs Clinton has made Northern Ireland key to her claims of having extensive foreign policy experience, which helped her defeat Barack Obama in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday after she presented herself as being ready to tackle foreign policy crises at 3am.

It's not like anyone actually believes her, the Press just won't challenge her on it because she's a Dem.

Helped?  Hell, it was his idea and HE was the one who had to go alone, with a broken leg and armed with only a paper clip into a nest of Sinn Fein thugs and kill them all, except the leader, who he forced to get the word back that if "all this BS" didn't stop then he would be back.

He then used his special "straight to the President's desk" phone and made arrangements for Air Force One to pick im up so e cold lead the peace discussions.
