It’s hard to tell from the Washington Post piece, but Senator Clinton appears to be acknowledging the fact that Republican frontrunners appear to more fully understand the jihadi threat America is facing than the Democrats and the American people know that full and well and that another attack on the United States will only make that clearer. And she seems not to have offered a persuasive reason why that’s a wrong train of thought — unless she’s straight-on going to blame Republicans (Bush/Cheney/”neocons”) for the next attack. Anyway, seems like a dumb remark, but not for reasons other people are outraged.
