Clinton's Terror Fears

From the NY Post:

August 25, 2007 -- Meanwhile, the senator also made it abundantly clear that even in the worst of times - like a 9/11-style attack on America - rank partisan politics is uppermost in her mind.
Campaigning in New Hampshire the other day, Hillary tried to make the case that she would be "the best of the Democrats to deal with" the "horrible prospect" of another terrorist attack against the United States.

Why would it be so horrible?

Said Clinton: Another attack "will automatically give the Republicans an advantage again."

Amazing. And so typically Hillary.

Some might have thought of the possibility of a repeat of the horrendous loss of life at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and aboard United Flight 93.

Others might have imagined the tremendous destruction of property - or the crushing psychological effect such an attack could have on all Americans.

Not Hillary.

Nope, as far as she's concerned, the worst thing about a terrorist attack is that it might possibly give the GOP a leg up in the elections and keep her from the goal that she has sought for years: becoming president.

And she says Republicans are obsessed with partisanship and divisive politics?
