Clinton names biggest threats to U.S.
Posted: February 5th, 2010 07:00 PM ET

(CNN) - The biggest threats to America's national security come not from Iran or North Korea, but from trans-national non-state actors, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told CNN's Candy Crowley in an exclusive interview to air Sunday.

"Most of us believe the greater threats are the trans-national non-state networks, primarily the extremists – the fundamentalist Islamic extremists who are connected to al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula," Clinton said. "Or al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan."

"They continue to try to increase the sophistication of their capacity," the nation's top diplomat added. "The attacks that they're going to make and the…biggest nightmare that any of us have is that one of these terrorist member organizations within this syndicate of terror will get their hands on a weapon of mass destruction."

In the wide-ranging interview that will air on CNN's "State of the Union with Candy Crowley," Clinton also said Iran's latest behavior is a clear indication the country has nuclear ambitions.

“Most of us believe the greater threats are the trans-national non-state networks, primarily the extremists – the fundamentalist Islamic extremists who are connected to al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula,” Clinton said. “Or al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan.”

“They continue to try to increase the sophistication of their capacity,” the nation’s top diplomat added. “The attacks that they’re going to make and the…biggest nightmare that any of us have is that one of these terrorist member organizations within this syndicate of terror will get their hands on a weapon of mass destruction.”

Note how Hillary isn't afraid to use the word Islamic when she talks about terrorists. Unlike some people.

Something else that struck me while reading this article:

In the wide-ranging interview that will air on CNN’s “State of the Union with Candy Crowley,” Clinton also said Iran’s latest behavior is a clear indication the country has nuclear ambitions.

“It’s like an old saying that if you see a turtle on a fence post in the middle of the woods, he didn’t get there by accident, right? Somebody’s put him there. And so you draw conclusions from what you see Iran doing,” she said.

How many times have we all heard that same turtle-on-the-fence-post story in relation to Obama? It's PUMA folklore. And now Hillary is using the turtle story to describe Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Curiouser and curiouser...

Hillary gives us a clear picture.........and Iran and Korea and anybody else had better know that if they hit us, a minute later they will be entirely wiped out.
