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.

Yeah, she and Obozo took them off the battlefields and brought them here.
Hillary, You may think you know how to do it, but frankly, we are kinda tired of getting attacked. What ever you think you are doing to help aint working, it’s only getting worse.
"This 'hastily arranged press conference' is totally the opposite of that. I'm not doing that at all."
She IS one of the bad guys.
Kinda hard to combat terrorism when you are home in bed hooked up to an oxygen machine and IV drip.
It’s a several step process.
1. Declare war against them.
2. Prosecute their supporters for treason and punish them as severely as the Constitution allows.
3. Cut off aid to any country that supports them.
4. Censor any and all news coverage of them. No money and no attention and they starve.
Continue until they stop.
She knows how to lie, prevaricate, equivocate, sell favors, line her pockets, throw temper tantrums at the help, destroy the lives of anyone who crosses her and her criminal “husband” and try to hide her many health problems. That is the sum total of her “skills.”
If Hitlery has the answer, why have they not done it yet.
And as her friend Colin Powell noted: "Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.”
NO. YOU. DO. NOT. “know how to do this.”
“I’m the only candidate in this race who’s been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield. I have sat at that table in the Situation Room.”
Yes you did. Yes you have.
During your most exemplary incident, which lasted 13 hours, you failed to make the hard (like “yes” was hard) decision to send ready military teams who were begging for permission to go, and you got up from that table at 10:30pm and disappeared completely from the situation & decisions until 7:00am.
You were there.
You did that.
You failed miserably. Enough so that most of America would rather have a tough-talking high-success-rate CEO run the country instead of you.
'Hold muh beer and watch this..'
Reset buttons in Arabic?
Now go back to bed and wait until Trump is in charge.
Hitlery the Harridan is a LIEberal!
LIEberals LIE!
“I have sat at that table in the Situation Room. Because I couldn’t stand for very long. In fact, I have to sit down right now. Whoops, I fell down. What happened?”
How many Generals and Admirals does she have supporting her? Trump could use this question in the debates.
Her comments are patently absurd. She says, “I’m the only candidate in this race who’s been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield”
That she and Obama think that “decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield” are hard is a big part of the problem. Deciding to kill them is easy. Finding and killing enough of them is the tough part.
“She also was part of the decision to put terrorists back on the battlefield with her Gitmo releases.”
___________
Bingo.
Terrorists should be left on the battlefield. Dead, and without burial.
Maggots gotta eat, too.
