State Departament Accomplishments
 
"OVERALL DEPARTMENT POLICY ACCOMPLISHMENTS, REGULATORY INITIATIVES,
AND INTERAGENCY EFFORTS

In the first 100 Days of the Obama Administration, Secretary Clinton
and the State Department have made significant progress in advancing
America’s national security goals and promoting America’s values
around the world.

Secretary Clinton is already the most traveled Secretary of State in a
new Administration. The Secretary’s trips have included her inaugural
trip to Asia, the Middle East and Europe, Mexico and across the border
to Texas, the Hague in the Netherlands, Europe with President Obama,
Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the Summit of the Americas in
Trinidad and Tobago with President Obama, and to Iraq and Kuwait.
The work undertaken on these trips, the many bilateral and trilateral
meetings hosted by Secretary Clinton, and the tireless efforts of
others throughout the State Department have contributed to early and
significant progress on the following priorities: Afghanistan/Pakistan
policy, the Middle East, Iraq, Asia, Russia, North Korea, the Western
Hemisphere, the climate crisis, engaging in public diplomacy, and
other core issues."

Hmmmm - let's see...

Afghanistan - Completely failed to get more combat troops from NATO.

Pakistan - Say, isn’t that the Taliban just outside the capital in
Islamabad?

Middle East - Netanyahu won’t budge until Obama does something about
Iran … which conveniently got left off the list.

Russia - Gave a mistranslated reset button to Sergei Lavrov, who then
told Hillary and Obama that they wouldn’t lift a finger to stop Iran
from going nuclear. Oh, and the US retreated from missile defense in
Europe. Smart power.

North Korea — North Korea? The country that just defied Obama,
launched a long-range missile, and kicked out all the UN inspectors
and declared a restart on all nuclear programs? That North Korea? It
that’s “significant progress,” then I hate to see what a setback looks
like.

Engaging in public diplomacy - Yes, like telling the Europeans that
she doesn’t understand multiparty democracy, that our system is
better, and Europeans didn’t have democracy before the US. Oh, and
let’s not forget getting the names of her EU counterparts wrong.

Thank goodness all that happened in public!

“Other core issues” — Well, they did get an iPod to the Queen, and
bowed to Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah

Not to mention that







Wait for it







Wait for it







One more time




TEXAS ISN'T A FOREIGN COUNTRY.

Incredible.
