Hillary: Don't Elect Obama -- Al-Qaida Is Watching

Hillary Clinton on Monday warned that Al-Qaeda watched US elections, urging Americans not to risk electing an inexperienced president, in her latest implicit swipe at rival Barack Obama.

In one of her most overt plays of the national security card yet, the senator from New York noted that days after Gordon Brown became British Prime Minister, militants planted bombs which failed to explode.

"I don't think it was by accident that Al-Qaeda decided to test the new prime minister," Clinton said here, referring to two devices which did not go off in London and a car which was crashed into Glasgow airport in June.

"They watch our elections as closely as we do ... they play our allies."

The former first lady's comments day before the New Hampshire primary, in which Obama is poised according to opinion polls to inflict a second damaging defeat on her White House campaign, after his Iowa caucuses victory last week.

"Let's not forget, you are hiring a president not just to do what a candidate says he or she will do in an election," Clinton said.

"You are hiring a president who will be here when the chips are down, and problems pile up, because that's when you really need somebody who knows exactly what has to be done, to make the tough decisions."

"I hope I don't face any of those in my first 100 days, but if it do, I think I will be ready," Clinton said.

Clinton has argued that Obama, a 46-year-old freshman senator from Illinois is too inexperienced to serve as US commander in chief, and held up what she says is her own years of experience at the pinnacle of US public life.

Obama has discounted her claims to have foreign policy expertise, and argued that her foreign policy judgement is faulty, after her vote in the Senate in 2002 to authorize President George W. Bush to wage war in Iraq.

Last month, former president Bill Clinton made a pointed reference to the September 11 attacks in 2001, arguing that the next president had to be ready for sudden, national security challenges.

"You have to have a leader who is strong and commanding and convincing enough ... to deal with the unexpected," he was quoted as saying by the Washington Post in New Hampshire.

"There is a better than 50 percent chance that sometime in the first year or 18 months of the next presidency, something will happen that is not being discussed in this campaign," he added.

Yeah hillary, We shouldn’t have Obama as Commander in Chief

Far better we have the enabling wife of the moron that did nothing to avenge the string of terrorist atrocities that went on for years because he was too busy get his d*ck sucked under his desk.

Al Qaeda would just love that!

The Democrats are going to be in for a shock if they believe that the Arab world will respect either one of them. Hillary will be despised for being a woman and Obama will be despised for being black.

"Why can't we all get along" does not work in the Arab world.

Caption above the pictures of Obama and Hillary reads, “‘Hillary’ and ‘Obama’ – A Woman and a Negro are Participating in the Campaign for the American Presidency”

The religious man in the foreground is saying: "This is another sign of the collapse of the Western civilization"

This cartoon was published in the second oldest daily newspaper in the Arab world, Al-Ahram published in Egypt.

You are very close. I am sheltered at my job,(or so I thought). A new coder was hired last month (Navy Sub Vet) and comes into the lab and discuses some politics with other newbies. He explains to one how stupid Cheney is.

Idiots abound regardless

Even Keith Olberdork was excoriating Hillary for playing the “fear card”.

Did she mention their consistent use of DNC talking points?

Good one.

Actually, Hillary would be my 4th choice after Fred, Rudy and McPain...in that order.

I'd put Hunter on that list if he'd poll above 2%.

I would never vote for Romney or Huckabee...or Obama...or Edwards.

The war against the jihadis is existential and the primary determinant of my vote.

I’m finding out that my gifs look different on different computers even if they both use I.E. and WindowsXP. On my laptop that gif is jet black all around her head and looks great.

On my laptop here I can actually see the ‘overlay’ of the second face I put in it. I knew different browsers displayed differently but this is kindof upsetting, lol.

Hillary is 100% correct. But the same logic applies to her in spades!

That's a niggardly thing to say.

It’s visible but not distracting

There are several very dark shades around her face

An I-M filter might cure that - or a B&W version

Well that makes me wonder how all of my other gifs showed up. Now I’ll have to go through some and see. That Hillary gif was pitch black and her face and tears were perfect on my Dell desktop PC!

I’ll try a few filters on the BG &/or 100% black composited over some BG areas

Hill intends to bore al Qaeda’s leadership into suicide.

Watch the video below of how she turns an excited crowd in NH into bored zombies moving to the exits.

Bear with the first 2 minutes of Hill’s bs and then watch the exodus of people.

Terrorists can’t stand Obama. In their view, he is supported by ‘Zionists’
