    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.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/03/08/wuspols108.xml"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.telegraph.co.uk/img/4FC1687A-26BC-4783-A308-50A74ED95D36" alt="Hillary Clinton with the Rev Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/03/08/wuspols108.xml"><P class="story2">   "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."   </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/03/08/wuspols108.xml">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.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/59E0A4B5-37E8-419C-B0BC-4C18EB106AA4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
