All week Hillary has been hyping her great prowess as a politican who can solve international problems. Maybe she really believes she "brought peace to Ireland" and other amazing feats during her short trips abroad during the Clinton administration, but some prominent people who were involved with her during that time find her boasts to be "a wee bit silly."
In a recent interview, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey put things in a clearer perspective.
"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."
