News Is Hillary's Third Place Finish in Iowa a Sign of Trouble for Her Campaign?

A key part of Hillary's campaign is her claim to have far more experience than Obama particularly in foreign affairs. The centre piece of which is Hillary's claim to have been a principal player in the N Ireland negotiations. David Trimble lead negotiator, head of the Ulster Unionists and the first First Minister of the province disagrees.

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.

She reminds me of R. Kipling's Tomlinson's Ghost with all her so-called experience being at best second hand.

And Tomlinson took up the tale and spoke of his good in life.
"O this I have read in a book," he said, "and that was told to me,
"And this I have thought that another man thought of a Prince in Muscovy."
The good souls flocked like homing doves and bade him clear the path,
And Peter twirled the jangling Keys in weariness and wrath.
"Ye have read, ye have heard, ye have thought," he said, "and the tale is yet to run:
"By the worth of the body that once ye had, give answer—what ha' ye done?"
Then Tomlinson looked back and forth, and little good it bore,
For the darkness stayed at his shoulder-blade and Heaven's Gate before:—
"O this I have felt, and this I have guessed, and this I heard men say,
"And this they wrote that another man wrote of a carl in Norroway."
"Ye have read, ye have felt, ye have guessed, good lack! Ye have hampered Heaven's Gate;
"There's little room between the stars in idleness to prate!
"For none may reach by hired speech of neighbour, priest, and kin
Through borrowed deed to God's good meed that lies so fair within;

Good poem. Nice to know, that whatever kind of life you've lead, you won't be bothered by politicians in the after-life.
