Fresh face in the war on terrorism: Senate Armed Services Committee has new member

She mainstreamed Yasser Arafat as a White House guest.

She supported – until campaign polls told her not to – her husband’s pardon of 16 Puerto Rican terrorists.

She hired White House staff who openly loathed American military officers – then made the armed forces a laboratory for her social agenda.

Now, she’ll be an active player in the war on terrorism as a new member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Senate Democrats this week appointed Hillary Rodham Clinton to sit on the super-sensitive panel. Senator Clinton’s official announcement stresses that she will be more able to channel federal taxpayers’ dollars to New York State and will find it “a privilege to support our men and women in uniform.” Significantly, it says nothing about serving the national security interests of the country.

Her website does note, however, “The Armed Services Committee oversees all the national security programs at the Department of Defense and the nuclear programs at the Department of Energy.”
