Money quote from the article: "The assassination of Pakistan's former prime minister occurred one week before the Iowa caucuses, the first test of the 2008 race for the White House, and provided a reminder of the importance of national security in an era of terrorism."

Before she gets elevated to godhood we should remember that she was corrupt even by Pakistan standards and was poised to bring in her crooked cronies yet again.

Well she knew Bill Clinton too, but it didn’t help her control him any. He still ran rings around her and embarrased her in front of the world.

What is the good in ‘knowing’ someone if she can’t do anything with it?

"I know from my lifetime of experience you have to be prepared for whatever might happen, and that's particularly true today," Clinton said

Of course, you never know if a world leader's spouse (or Nobel Peace prize's spouse) might need a hug and kiss.

"My theme has been throughout this campaign that I'm the one with the experience, the knowledge and the judgment. So perhaps it may serve to enhance those credentials to make people understand that I've been to Pakistan, I know Musharraf, I can pick up the phone and call him. I knew Benazir Bhutto."

PLEASE someone shut this woman up!

She has the audacity to comment that she has her RADAR up on all these far away events and personalities and issues and is most informed one to sit in Oval Office.

The very Oval Office where her husband got J'd off by an intern and spilled stuff in sinks and on blue dresses, right under her very eyes (again, her "RADAR" system), and she knew nothing about it?? (or is a liar about it--either way, we dont need her in office).

No thanks, Ma'am! That dog don't hunt.

 Clinton just slays me.  She's bragging that she has known someone removed from office twice for corruption, indicted & found guilty on charges of money laundering in Switzerland.   Thousands of government pages of evidence of receiving illegal kickbacks from France, Poland and various companies scattered throughout Asia.  Then again, this is a fat pitch right in the strike zone of the Clintons.

Not to mention her 12 year investment no longer has any relevance.

I read the responses of the candidates today.

The Huckster “apologized” and wondered if Martial Law would continue in Pakistan. Martial Law was suspended months ago. His foreign policy knowledge is lacking.

McCain is coming off looking good. This has got to be a plus for him.

Romney politicized it, of course, talking about what Ronald Reagan would have done and then turned around after being questioned and said: “Well, I can’t say what Reagan would do.” The guy has an innate ability to double-talk.

Rudy did o.k.; he wrapped himself in 9/11, of course.

The guy who came off the best, especailly on Hannity & Colmes tonight (See the rerun at 11:00 p.m. CST) was Fred Thompson. He made some very poignant observations. It’s a shame he got started so late in this race.

Exactly, but can you imagine Hillary being elevated as a candidate with MILITARY EXPERIENCE AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS EXPERIENCE????? That is inane and stupid. Can you imagine Huck taking on Islamofascism? No, but I can see Rudy, Fred, or not hopefully, John or Mitt doing it.

Ops ... better read that again.
John McCain said this ...

"My theme has been throughout this campaign that I'm the one with the experience, the knowledge and the judgment. So perhaps it may serve to enhance those credentials to make people understand that I've been to Pakistan, I know Musharraf, I can pick up the phone and call him. I knew Benazir Bhutto."
