Hillary Clinton on Wednesday attacked the leading Republican contenders for their responses to the terror attacks in Brussels, warning that their proposals would weaken American security and diminish the nation's status as a world leader. Speaking the day after a series of explosions killed at least 31 people in the Belgian capital and rocked the western world’s sense of security, Clinton singled out Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for comments that she claimed would undermine global security organizations such as NATO and increase scrutiny on American Muslims. “Slogans aren’t a strategy. Loose cannons tend to misfire,” Clinton said in remarks at Stanford University. “What America needs is smart, strong, steady leadership to wage and win this struggle.” “In our fight against radical jihadism, we have to do what actually works,” the former secretary of State added. “One thing we know that does not work is offensive, inflammatory rhetoric that demonizes all Muslims. Clinton lobbed multiple attacks on a proposal from Cruz, which Trump has also endorsed, to give police departments license to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized." “When Republican candidates like Ted Cruz call for treating American Muslims like criminals and for racially profiling predominantly Muslim neighborhood, it’s wrong, it’s counterproductive and it’s dangerous,” Clinton said. The comments echoed a sentiment delivered by President Obama earlier in the day, when he called Cruz’s proposal “wrong and un-American.” Cruz’s proposal set off a firestorm of debate on Tuesday, and was widely condemned by Democrats and prominent civil rights organizations. In defense of the comments, he has pointed to a controversial police program in New York City that was abandoned in 2014. Clinton also took fire at Trump’s repeated policy position to reinstate waterboarding and harsh interrogation techniques that are “a hell of a lot worse.” Trump himself has described the practices, which are currently illegal, as torture, but said that they would be critical to gaining information quickly, and justified in response to the brutality of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Torture “does not work,” Clinton insisted on Wednesday. It also “puts our own troops and increasingly our own civilians at greater risk.” “If I’m president, the United States will not condone or practice torture anywhere in the world, even when we’re up against opponents who don’t respect human life or human rights.” This week’s deadly violence in Brussels is likely to inject new focus on national security issues in the presidential race, which had slowly drifted away from terrorism concerns in the weeks since last year’s attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif. Like last year’s attacks across Paris, ISIS claimed credit for Tuesday’s violence in Brussels, which took place at the city’s main airport and a downtown metro station close to key European Union offices. Trump’s presidential campaign benefited the most from the change in tone late last year. Despite his own personal lack of foreign policy experience, many Republican primary voters responded favorably to his extreme rhetoric and proposals, including a temporary ban on foreign Muslims from entering the country. He is likely to benefit again from a new pivot, analysts have suggested. However, Trump has been repeatedly questioned about his unconventional approach to foreign policy issues. Just a day before blasts ripped through Brussels on Tuesday, Trump wondered whether the U.S. had over-extended itself with its contributions to NATO. “NATO is costing us a fortune, and yes, we’re protecting Europe, but we’re spending a lot of money,” Trump said in an interview with the Washington Post’s editorial board. “I’m not even knocking it, I’m just saying I don’t think it’s fair. We’re not treated fair.” Clinton referred specifically to Trump’s comments in her speech on Wednesday, warning that they threatened to reshape global geopolitics to exclude the U.S. “NATO in particular is one of the best strategic investments America has made,” Clinton declared. “Putin already hopes to divide Europe,” she added, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “If Mr. Trump gets his way, it will be like Christmas in the Kremlin. “It will make America less safe and the world more dangerous.” Clinton, who is considered to have a more aggressive foreign policy posture than Obama, has previously offered subtle breaks with White House’s efforts to combat ISIS, and she repeated those on Wednesday. The U.S. should “intensify the air campaign” against ISIS’s self-proclaimed caliphate in Syria and Iraq, she said, as well as beef up support for Arab and Kurdish forces on the ground and do more to combat the extremist group’s ability to spread propaganda on the Internet. On Wednesday, she also suggested that the U.S. should reconsider security protocols at airports, potentially clamping down on public zones within terminals, before security checkpoints. “Brussels demonstrates clearly we need to take a harder look at our security protocols at airports and other so-called soft sites,” she said, “especially areas outside our guarded perimeters.” This from the Bitch of Kosovo whose marshmallow-like brain creates nothing of substance, but yet verbally attacks those whose comments are close to, or right on the mark about what we should be saying and doing about the Muslim menace being dumped at our door by imbecilic politicians like Hillary and Barack! First, however, we must know why this 'migrant' crisis was created. It was created by the NWO Bushes who decided to blame 9/11 on Saddam Hussein, attack Iraq in full force and hound Hussein into a hidey-hole from which he was extricated and subsequently hanged. Hussein was the strongman who kept the middle east in tow. He protected both Christian and Jewish citizens and he regularly bombed Tehran making their miserable lives even more miserable. Now, America's and Europe's leftist and evil politicians are opening their doors to the millions of unwashed, uneducated and ignorant masses who want nothing less than the death of western civilization. Hillary Clinton is an evil, despicable old sow of a politician who hasn't enough sense to work out a child's crossword puzzle. Yet she, and millions, believe she's qualified to lead this nation further down the road to ruin started by an equally unqualified phony. She'll finish the job, and that's for certain.

Yeah, she will protect us just as she protect her Ambassador in Libya and those on the ground that tried to save him. Yeah...............................
потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
She should be reminded of the old saying " It is better to be thought a fool, than to open ones mouth, and remove all doubt !" She does not know her fat butt from a big red apple. I would not trust her to guard a bag of garbage! Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Does anyone seriously believe Comrade Clinton didn't know a crISIS would result when she provocatively threw an open homosexual into that nest of religious vipers? Meanwhile Comrade Chairman FlexObumble was on a world tour promoting homosexual inclusiveness. The result was an escalation of the focused hatred the Useful Idiots of Islam direct toward the Great Satan. Any doubts Putin isn't enjoying seeing the Islamotables turned on the foe who pointed the same ideological flame at his colleagues in Afghanistan circa 1979+? en.wikipedia.o rg/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War "Revenge is a dish best served cold"
A Hillary Clinton strategy. https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/462986339378814977 Access to education is a basic right & an unconscionable reason to target innocent girls.

What doesn't seem to be understood is gramatically correct psychobabble doctored up with a few big words conversts it into a strategy. In Hillary's case the strategy is one of cultural and political destruction. The mentality of the nation is being eroded by the capacity of "intellectuals" to put absolute nonsense into flowery rhetoric.
And she said that just like both are bad things. Imagine that! Is this dummy actually going to run on a "let's not keep an eye on Muslims living in America" platform? “In our fight against radical jihadism, we have to do what actually works,” the former secretary of State added. “One thing we know that does not work is offensive, inflammatory rhetoric that demonizes all Muslims. Especially not her tuna-breath Muslim girlfriend/handler. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.

Hussein was the strongman who kept the middle east in tow. He protected both Christian and Jewish citizens and he regularly bombed Tehran making their miserable lives even more miserable. Quoted in full because it needs to be repeated over and over until even the few remaining Bush-Bots admit it is true. AND.......,Let's not forget that 17 of the 19 terrorists that took down the world trade center buildings were from Saudi Arabia,and the Bush Crime Family removed Saddam Hussein from power and hanged him to protect the Saud empire. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Hey Hillary! Your strategy isn't a strategy.
Reset, Baby, reset. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Reset, Baby, reset->>>>>>>>
Contrary to popular thought amongst the brain dead leftist, low-information voters, Hillary is far from the smartest woman in the world. She's an insane, nut-case who only sees dollar signs through her rose-tinted glasses. She, her husband thingy and that ghastly homely daughter are all three enemies of this pitiful republic.
I came, I saw, he died. Is that a slogan one can hang their hat on?

#BringBackOurGirls What Clinton didn’t mention was that her own State Department refused to place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011, after the group bombed the U.N. headquarters in Abuja. The refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen senators and congressmen.
