Sen. Clinton asks shoulder-fired missile defense

I suggest that Hillary pull watch duty looking for shoulder-fired missile launchers at Laguardia Int. flight approaches, maybe she'll see a UFO.

OK, but only if the UFO takes her away!

James Kallstrom, director of New York State's Office of Public Security, told CNN that worries about terrorists using shoulder-fired missiles were not new.

Yeah, Mr. Kallstrom should know, he remembers when TWA-800 was shot down with such a missile!!

[Dixie Mom]

In return, Clinton should promise she will not try to run them over.

Can her broom outrun one of those things?

Hillary! once again states an obvious while apparently leaning into an opportunity to fear-monger, no doubt hoping (praying?) that something bad does happen so she could score political I-Told-You-So points.

 

 

Clinton did not coordinate her request to Ridge and Pataki with other legislators, said spokeswoman Nina Blackwell.

 

And she wanted to be first in line, too.

 

 

 

There was no immediate response from the Ridge's office.

 

WhOoO. Very ominous sounding, there. The nerve of that Ridge guy in not dropping everything to scramble out a report for Her Highness. Sheesh. Just can't get good help these days.

You have to wonder if they were in a hurry to publish something positive about Hillary. CNN should be embarrassed by this title.

lol

Yes, and it seems to me that this is more than a little outside of the junior NY senator's realm of responsibility.

" James Kallstrom, director of New York State's Office of Public Security, told CNN that worries about terrorists using shoulder-fired missiles were not new. "

This blows me away. Kallstrom was the FBI agent,in charge of the TWA 800 investigation-where all charges of a missile bringing down the jet, were relegated to the tinfoil hat arena.

Didn't anybody catch something curious? Senator Clinton, for the first time, is saying she wants a missile defense system of some sort! I thought she was against that! After all, "why should we defend ourselves against missiles when a terrorist could just bring an nuke in a suitcase".
Someone should have asked her whether she still thinks SDI is a bad idea. If yes, he should ask her how come she wants to protect airplanes from missile, but not the entire country from nuclear missiles.

I found Bill

Former President Bill Clinton, in an opinion column published Sunday in The New York Times, urged governments to do more to bring treatment to the developing world, where millions of people suffer because they lack access to AIDS drugs.

and this picture of Hillary's cheating impeached xxxresident

[SevenDaysInMay]

Ahhhh, for the security of Air Force One again. The Chappasquaw is worried about another TWA 800 under her own a$$.

Isn't XXX42 and Chelsea still abroad?

I'm curious about the motivation behind this as well. Hillary should be embarrassed. This seems so obviously opportunistic. Last week she's championing tariffs for powdered milk-like milk protein concentrate; and now she's telling Tom Ridge how to run the Homeland Security Dept.

[Dixie Mom]

That jumped out at me, too!

[Dixie Mom]

EXCELLENT point-counterpoint.

[jwalsh07]

Hillary is practicing for her Dukakis like ride in a tank, steel pot and all.

[Dixie Mom]

LOL! Queen Hillary! strikes again.

[soundbits]

Possibly the "The Smartest Woman in the World" (TM) finally realized that her own plane could be shot down.

Nah, her contract with Satan doesn't permit her untimely demise.

[Southack]

Senator Clinton suddenly becomes more pro-war.

Who woulda thunk it...
