After bomb blasts, Clinton charges Trump helps Islamic State to recruit
2016-09-20
[REUTERS] Democrat Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Richelieu ...
on Monday accused Republican rival Donald Trump of helping Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Lions of Islam recruit more fighters as kabooms in New York and New Jersey made national security a top concern on the U.S. presidential campaign trail.

Trump, meanwhile, said Clinton's "weakness" while Democratic President Barack Obama
If you like your coverage you can keep it...
's secretary of state had emboldened bully boyz worldwide to attack the United States.

Both candidates tried to use the attacks to flex their national security credentials, with world leaders gathering in security-heightened New York for the annual United Nations

General Assembly.

Clinton said Trump's rhetoric against what he calls "radical Islamic terrorism" is helping Islamic State, also known by the acronym ISIS.

"We know that a lot of the rhetoric we've heard from Donald Trump has been seized on by terrorists, in particular ISIS, because they are looking to make this into a war against Islam rather than a war against jihadists," she told news hounds in White Plains, New York.

The Trump campaign responded by saying Clinton bears some responsibility for the violence by not persuading Obama to leave a residual force of U.S. troops in Iraq when she was his secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

Obama and the Iraqi government failed to reach agreement at the end of 2011 on extending a U.S.-Iraqi status of forces agreement, and most American troops were withdrawn.

Trump has sought to tie Clinton to the decisions of the B.O. regime.

"Hillary Clinton's weakness while she was secretary of state has emboldened bully boyz all over the world to attack the U.S., even on our own soil. They are hoping and praying that Hillary Clinton becomes president so that they can continue their savagery and murder," Trump said on Facebook. He did not give specifics.

#2  Contrary to Clinton's arrogant azz words, the terrorists don't hang on her every tweet or care that Trump called a bomb a bomb. The bad guys are prolific writers and clearly state that they spend their time trying to scare us out of Afghanistan and the M.E. in order to consolidate their gains and later focus on attacking the near non-believer enemy in Europe (Rome). They know she is a fool.

It *is* a war against Islam. Just closing our eyes and pretending it isn't so doesn't magically make that a winning strategy.
