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.

Woman, you don’t even know how to walk up a few steps unattended.
Looking at how her time in the State Department worked out in terms of controlling terrorists, I hope she will keep with that narrative. She paid terrorists. Benghazi was all about arming terrorists. Now her pet terrorists are murdering Americans and Europeans in our own countries. Hillary thinks that she knows how to do this, but she has proven that she always does it badly and does not learn from her mistakes.
Yeah, more like: “I did Benghazi. I know how to do this.”
“Not drone attacks. Or Libyas collapse. Red lines. Withdrawal from Iraq. Anarchy in Yemen. Its a real estate moguls fault.”
Exactly! Her logic is lacking, to say the least.
Obviously, she doesn't.
Clinton makes Turd-owe look like a piker!
My kids tell me the same thing, “I know how to do this”, when they obviously don’t. They are young enough to not know better, to try anyway. What’s Clinton’s excuse?
She added: "I know how to do this."
Hillary Clinton is sounding more and more like "Baghdad Bob!"
Lots of people sit at tables. How'd it go at that table with Benghazi, Hillary?
Yes, she took them off the battlefield, and sent them to our neighborhoods.
“”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.”
Yeah she shore did sit at the table, kept that seat warm, with her eyes glazed over, and fell asleep while her Democrat buddies made all the plans that FUBAR our great nation.
She thinks that’s a selling point to get her wide beam into the Oval Office. /S
She
“Hillary Clinton cast herself Monday as the most qualified to combat terrorism in the U.S.”
But you lost to Obama in 08?
And you basically got fired from the SoS in 2012.
LOL did they give her a big shot of Diazepam before she went on TV..yeah she “Knows how to do this” she wants to import over FIVE HUNDRED PERCENT of these cockroaches to the US, putting them all over the country so there would be no more red states, just blue states..what do liberals care of Americans die as long as Jihadists continue to vote Democrat
And let’s not forget Colin’s statement about her husband “Dicking Bimbos” LOL I still laugh at that one
She’s talking about how she can DESTROY REPUBLICANS or OTHER ENEMIES!!! SHe DOES know how to do THAT, just ask Vince Foster, James McDougall, etc.!
“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.”
From this statement and her line of thinking, she must’ve considered Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Ty Woods as terrorists...
She sure took them “off the battlefield”....
How? By increasing ‘refugee’ imports to America by 500%?? (Google it)
She knows how to take Saudi cash and how to arm Islamic Jihadists in Libya & Syria. She is a terror sponsor and should be locked up for it.
Trump is a ‘we will do what it takes guy’.
That is my take, and that is why he will win.
Just because you can keep Huma under control with your lesbian bulldyke tactics doesn’t mean you can control the head loppers of the tribe.
