Ed Henry Pans Clinton’s Speech: It Was To Help Her Dig out from Miscues in the Last Dem Debate

‘Billed as a major speech with a bold national security strategy, it became a bold political strategy’

HENRY: "Billed as a major speech with a bold national security strategy, it became a bold political strategy. To help Clinton dig out from miscues in the last democratic debate ... Clinton advisers note she does not want to alienate leaders in the Middle East she’ll need to become president. Except King Abdullah cited the high number of Muslim victims of ISIS to say this is a war within Islam. Clinton instead said she wants to fight radical jihadism with a plan that other than touting her break with the president on a no fly zone for Syria. Sounded like the White House strategy. Rallying allies for targeted air strikes, blocked terrorist funding, wage cyberwarfare and rely on local forces in Iraq and Syria for ground troops."
