Clinton heightens terrorism rhetoric

Posted by Marcella Bombardieri, political reporter January 7, 2008 02:11 PM



DOVER, N.H. – Facing the prospect of defeat in tomorrow’s primary, Hillary Clinton just made her strongest suggestion yet that the next president may face a terrorist attack – and that she would be the best person to handle it.

She pointed out that the day after Gordon Brown took office as the British prime minister, there was a failed attempt at a double bombing in London and Glasgow.

“I don’t think it was by accident that Al Qaeda decided to test the new prime minister,” she said. “They watch our elections as closely as we do, maybe more closely than some of our fellows citizens do…. Let’s not forget you’re hiring a president not just to do what a candidate says during the election, you want a president to be there when the chips are down.”

3. Cheney said the same shit in 04 and 06...

4. Wasn't Brown lauded for his handling of those bombings?

That's my recollection, so I thought it was funny that she brought it up in the debate. He was the new guy, granted, he had been Chancellor of the Exchequer for what, eight years? But that's not training for terrorist attacks and yet he did just fine.

5. So now we're gonna get TERRA TERRA TERRA from Hillary.

:puke:

[Skip Intro]

6. And she shoudn't bring up terrorism as an issue?

[Bread and Circus]

7. Funny thing is I'd much rather have Obama at the helm in a worst

case scenario over Clinton or Edwards.

The guy just seems to be extremely intelligent and well measured to me.

8. Like it or not, terror and 9/11 is ALL nominee McCain will talk about and it will DOMINATE election

Clinton is doing the right thing. This fight is going to happen on national security and we better have a nominee who is perceived as COMPETENT

[FrenchieCat]

10. Was this at the same time that she became tearful.......?

and now, we should become fearful? :shrug:

[killbotfactory]

11. Will she attack the right country this time?

[K Gardner]

13. ROFL.. good question !

[Kittycat]

12. Oh FFS. n/t

[dailykoff]

14. She'll know just which color kleenex to blow her nose with.

Don't they realize they sound ridiculous?

[Egnever]

15. Arghhh why does she do this.

Candidate of change my ass

[fadedrose]

16. Hillary has Al Qaeda shaking in their boots/uh, sandals?

Somehow I doubt that.

Be afraid, be very afraid, vote for me or else?

Haven't we heard this line before?
