During the Austin debate Senator Clinton made a claim that kind of rang a waring bell and I should say I am not suprised that the MSM did not pick up on it.
So you be the judge:
MR. RAMOS: Let me try again and not in Spanish, okay? (Laughter.)
Here we go again -- because we also believe the war in Iraq is very
important, and here's the question.
Are you suggesting that Senator Obama is not ready, he doesn't have the experience to be commander in chief? That's a question.
What did you mean by that phrase?
SEN.CLINTON: What I mean is that, you know, for more than 15 years I've been honored to represent our country in more than 80 countries to negotiate on matters such opening borders for refugees during the war in Kosovo,
Look I know she was active in many, many issues. Yet here she saying to negotiate on matters..... such as ........Does the 1st lady have the ability to negotiate on any matter offically. Did she overstate her actions. If this was a resume and it was on there and latter found to be inaccurate would this be considered padding or a flat out false hood.
Now I am bring this up because it is not just here that Senator Clinton is making such claims.
Nobel winner: Hillary Clinton's 'silly' Irish peace claims

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.
"I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland," she told CNN on Wednesday. But negotiators from the parties that helped broker the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 told The Daily Telegraph that her role was peripheral and that she played no part in the gruelling political talks over the years.
