Hillary Clinton's Role in Northern Ireland Peace Process Questioned

Mover and Shaker?

(Fox News) - Former Northern Ireland First Minister William David Trimble — who shared a Nobel Prize for his peacemaking efforts in Northern Ireland — is contradicting Hillary Clinton's statements that she played an instrumental part in the peace process there, calling her claim "a wee bit silly."

Clinton said Wednesday, "I helped bring peace to Northern Ireland." She has used the example to try to bolster her foreign policy credentials as she tries to draw a contrast with Barack Obama.

But the Daily Telegraph reports Lord Trimble says of Clinton, "I don't know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill (Clinton) going around... being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player."
