Clinton's ISIS plan: Focus on domestic threats
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/19/15 | Ariel Cohen

Hillary Clinton previewed her plans to combat the Islamic State before her major foreign policy address in New York City while chatting on "Live! With Kelly and Michael" on ABC Thursday morning.

The former secretary of state explained that although many people are arguing about whether the U.S. should let Syrian refugees into the country, Washington should be more focused on potential terrorists who could be turned "into jihadis online."

"We have a slightly different problem but just as equally important as the Europeans," Clinton said. "They're dealing with a lot of movement. So many more people left there to go to Syria and now they're coming back after they've been in training camps. We've got to take a hard look at the people who are already here as well as keeping out any potential terrorists."

While discussing the recent threats the terrorist group has made in the wake of the attacks in Paris, Clinton said that although the threats on U.S. cities may never actually come to fruition, "we've always got to take them seriously."

"When they make these threats they may be some distance from being able to deliver on the threats, but they're hoping that some discontented person or group right here in our country will hear the threat ... and they'll implant the idea that we can't implement that threat but maybe you all out there can."

Clinton also lamented that America's loose gun laws make it "way too easy" for potential terrorists to act and carry out attacks. The Democratic front-runner has promoted increased gun control on the campaign trail since May.

As much fear as groups such as ISIS attempts to instill, Clinton urged viewers to tell their children "not to let those threats in any way to upset their minds or prevent them from going out."

Clinton will further outline her plans to combat the terrorist group later Thursday morning at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City.

= = = = = = = = = = = =
‘Speaking of Kardashian’...

Was watching a “Married with Children” episode that was done in the 1990s or so and more than once a person asked ‘Marcy Darcy’ if she was Bruce Jenner oddly, the question was asked by two ‘Blacks’.

Another ‘oddity’ of the show was Al Bundy always referring to Marcy as a man or at least not much of a woman.

The other is that the actress Amanda Bearce (Marcy) also directed several episodes and she ‘declared herself a Lesbian in 1993’

Geez. The woman just keeps on making campaign commercials for Trump. So much for being the smartest woman in the world.

Apparently the idiotic Libs didn’t buy into ‘our’ policy that if we fight the Communists in Korea, Vietnam etc we wouldn’t have to fight them on the streets of America.

Kelly Ripa: So where are the survivors of Benghazi?
Why are you hanging out with a muslim terrorist named Huma?
Where did you get billions of dollars so quickly while producing nothing?
How did your brother (and you) get a gold mine worth billions in Haiti?
Where is the missing $6 billion from the state dept?

She's just telegraphing the plan to use the islamokazis as an excuse to turn all our civil liberties into wreckage.

Have to get ISIS to immigrate here before we can keep an eye on them domestically.
