Clinton links Obama, Bush foreign experience

WASHINGTON - It may well be the biggest insult one Democratic presidential candidate can hurl at another -- that your opponent is no more competent than George W. Bush.

Senator Hillary Clinton argued yesterday that rival Barack Obama lacks the judgment to handle global threats facing America, likening his national security inexperience to the current President's limited foreign policy knowledge when he took office in early 2001.

Touting her own global relations credentials ahead of key primaries next week in Ohio and Texas, Ms. Clinton cast Mr. Obama as a political neophyte who would need a "foreign policy instruction manual" during world crises.

"We've seen the tragic result of having a president who had neither the experience nor the wisdom to manage our foreign policy and safeguard our national security," Ms. Clinton said during a speech at George Washington University. "We can't let that happen again. America has already taken that chance--one time too many."
