WASHINGTON (AP) -- A day after deadly terrorist attacks
in Paris, Hillary Rodham Clinton cast herself as the strongest U.S. commander
in chief in an uncertain world, even as she found herself forced to defend the
Obama administration's response to the rise of the Islamic State militants.
"This election is not only about electing a
president, it's also about choosing our next commander in chief," said
Clinton, in her opening remarks. "All of the other issues we want to deal
with depend upon us being secure and strong."
