It seems even the conservative democrats are now willing to opine on the strange timing of major incidents under the Bush regime. - The Angryindian

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- She says she is the Democrat best equipped to fight terrorists, but White House hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton told New Hampshire voters Thursday that another attack on the United States would likely help Republican candidates at the polls.art.clinton.afp.gi.jpg
Sen. Hillary Clinton said the Republicans would benefit politically if a terrorist attack occurred before the '08 vote.
"It's a horrible prospect to ask yourself, 'What if? What if?' " Clinton, a New York Democrat, told a house party in Concord, according to the New York Post and The Associated Press and confirmed by her campaign.
"But, if certain things happen between now and the election, particularly with respect to terrorism, that will automatically give the Republicans an advantage again, no matter how badly they have mishandled it, no matter how much more dangerous they have made the world."
Clinton added that if such a scenario occurred, she is the best Democratic presidential candidate "to deal with that."

A clever move by the next President of the United States. The world will be celebrating and get some quit sleep if she is in the White House. In my opinion there is noone in control of Hillary Clinton except for Hillary Clinton.
And that´s what makes the difference to all US Presidents since J.F.Kennedy.

yeah I can see Bush and Cheney planing the next terrorist attack. It will help the Gop right? she has to be the smartest woman in the world. I wonder what makes the difference for all German ex Presidents lets say from 1933.

I don't think she is going to be the next president at least I'm not voting for her she seems to be too much a control freak.

Dear gmony714.
"I wonder what makes the difference for all German ex Presidents lets say from 1933."
Well, I was wondering too, thanks for caring about. And I do hope she´s a control freak if it´s about controlling her Presidency.
