WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Hillary Clinton cast herself Monday as the most qualified to combat terrorism in the U.S. after a weekend of violent attacks in three states. Going after rival Donald Trump, she argued that his anti-Muslim rhetoric is helping Islamic militants, including ISIS, recruit new fighters.
The Democratic presidential candidate touted her national security credentials at a hastily arranged news conference outside her campaign plane, accusing Republican Trump for using the incidents to make "some kind of demagogic point."
"I'm the only candidate in this race who's been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield," Clinton, a former secretary of state, told reporters. "I have sat at that table in the Situation Room."
She added: "I know how to do this."
New York's governor and mayor said Monday that the bombings in a Manhattan neighborhood and a New Jersey shore town are looking increasingly like acts of terrorism with a foreign connection. Authorities are also investigating the stabbings of nine people at a Minnesota mall as a possible act of terrorism.
An Afghan immigrant wanted for questioning in the bombings was captured in New Jersey Monday after being wounded in a gun battle with police, authorities said.
The violence cast a long shadow over the presidential race, diverting both candidates' attention from the daily controversies of the presidential race.
Clinton and her team see her foreign policy experience as a key selling point for her candidacy. On the campaign trail, she frequently invokes her role in the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, describing to voters the tense atmosphere in the White House alongside President Barack Obama.

She also was part of the decision to put terrorists back on the battlefield with her Gitmo releases.
The point is she hasn’t isn’t and never has went after the bad guys.

Get an IT guy to ask on Reddit how to edit all the ISIS websites and ‘wipe’ them out.

Not drone attacks. Or Libya’s collapse. Red lines. Withdrawal from Iraq. Anarchy in Yemen. It’s a real estate moguls fault.
Chris Stevens is unavailable for comment.
Then why haven’t you done so before now?.................
