Hillary Clinton warns that instability in Yemen is a global threat (LA Times 1/04/10)

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said today that instability in Yemen is a threat to regional and global security, but that the United States will work with other countries to deal with the issue.

“Yemen is a top concern,” Clinton told reporters. “The instability in Yemen is a threat to regional stability and even global stability, and we’re working with Qatar and others to think of the best way forward to try to deal with the security concerns. And certainly, we know that this is a difficult set of challenges, but they have to be addressed.”

Clinton said Al Qaeda was trying to use Yemen as a base for future terrorist attacks.

“With respect to what happened with the terrorist on the plane coming into Detroit, we are not satisfied,” Clinton said. "We are conducting an internal review.

“Based on what we know now, the State Department fully complied with the requirements set forth in the interagency process as to what should be done when a threat is – or when information about a potential threat is known. But we’re looking to see whether those procedures need to be changed, upgraded,” she said.

This is how a President handles a crisis. If Hillary isn't running in 2012, I sure hope somebody who is running is watching her and taking notes.

Jen, Thank you posting this. I saw this lastnight and was rushing out the door to the airport ...
and had the same thoughts all through the drive. Hillary certainly knows how to make statements with a punch and to handle delicate situations well with comprehensive statements. Yes, experience matters.

Hillary is proving every day that she is the person who should be POTUS.  I like the way the media likes to make every issue hers so that she can constintly be the one people blame but not this time.  The State Department under Rice did its job.
