WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton writes in her new book that she wishes she could have made different, unspecified decisions as President Barack Obama's secretary of state but remains proud of her accomplishments as the nation's top diplomat, according to excerpts released Tuesday.

The potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate writes in an author's note from her upcoming book, "Hard Choices," that her time at the State Department taught her about the nation's "exceptional strengths and what it will take for us to compete and thrive at home and abroad."

"As is usually the case with the benefit of hindsight, I wish we could go back and revisit certain choices. But I'm proud of what we accomplished," Clinton writes. "This century began traumatically for our country, with the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the long wars that followed, and the Great Recession. We needed to do better, and I believe we did."

Remember, in the mind of a Clinton, being a murderer is considered an achievement

What would that be?

Four dead Americans?;

Six Billion dollars "misplaced" by the State Dept?

Alienation of all our allies?

Leave her alone! She has brain damage and can hardly even feed herself anymore. (She has difficulty lifting the shovel.)

The marketing of Hillary Clinton started long before now. She’s the greatest first lady, senator, and secretary of state evah! I see it all the time. People like her aren’t elected because they’ve done great things. They’re elected because the job titles are the accomplishments.

Consider the president for example. What has he done? Well, he was a state senator, the first black President of the United States, and a Nobel prize winner (for being the first black president). “No, no, no,” you say. “What has he actually accomplished?” Well, he was reelected President of the United States in 2012. LOL! Even Obama’s “signature” accomplishment, the so-called Obamacare, wasn’t his. He just signed it.

Ha!

Trying to run a list of HER accomplishments would be like rowing through a sewer in a glass bottom rowboat!

Really! It begs the question ..how may dead ambassadors does it take before one is not proud of one’s accomplishments?

The number was zero for 30 years of SOSs before Hillary.

If her objective was to disillusion our traditional allies about our nation’s assumed integrity, she should be proud.
