Hillary's Dismal Record At State
By DICK MORRIS

The media spin is that she has been an excellent
Secretary of State. But its just spin.
Look at the record:
• Chavez now controls Argentina, Bolivia, Nicaragua, El
Salvador, and Ecuador as well as Venezuela and has big
influence in Brazil. He is providing a base for Iran to
move into the hemisphere.
• Russia has become more repressive and aggressive.
Democracy advocates are more subject to arrest and
torture and nothing has come of the "reset" except more
appeasement.
• The Ukraine has drifted closer to Russia and
further away from the West.
• Iran is much closer to having the bomb and
likely using it against Israel.
• We've lost Egypt and Islamist power is sweeping
the Arab world. The singular achievement of
American Mid East diplomacy over the past fifty years --
the Camp David Accords -- are being undone as we speak.
• North Korea gets ever more brazen, has become a
nuclear power, and now has put a satellite into orbit.
• China still weakens its currency making our
products too expensive there and theirs' cheaper here.
And it launches cyber attacks against institutions like
the New York Times with total impunity.
• The Islamist offensive in sub-Sahara Africa
gains momentum.
• Afghanistan is no closer to putting down the
Taliban, is still one of the most corrupt of the world's
governments, and Pakistan's collaboration with al Qaeda
grows more and more evident.
And then there's Benghazi. The cover-up --
dressing the terrorist attack up as a demonstration over
a movie gone wrong -- disgraces her tenure. It was
a transparent attempt to sweep an issue under the rug to
help Obama get re-elected.
The press corps that follows Hillary around the world is
unanimous in praising her. They are her captives.
Covering Hillary is their full time assignment. If
they annoy her, they are frozen out on the plane and
can't do their jobs. Sycophancy alone is
tolerated.
Has Hillary been a good Secretary of State? Look
at the record.
