On Thursday, however, Hillary Rodham Clinton will deliver an in-depth speech at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York about her national security proposals and how she would combat the Islamic State,..............
In the second Democratic debate in Des Moines on Saturday, Mrs. Clinton, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Martin O’Malley bowed their heads in a solemn moment of solidarity with the French and affirmed their commitment to joining a coalition to defeat the Islamic State.

Hillary Clinton is expected to outline her foreign policy vision Thursday morning in New York City, just one day shy of the week anniversary of the terror attacks that the Islamic State group has taken responsibility for. A Clinton aide said that she will hit on three objectives, which include defeating ISIS, disrupting growing terrorist networks and hardening defenses against external and homegrown threats, according to Politico.
Clinton’s speech, which can be watched live at 10:30 a.m. EST, will be a chance for her to either double down on the foreign policy espoused by President Barack Obama, who she served under as secretary of state, or to move in a different direction. She has aligned herself fairly closely with the president in the past but has also pushed for measures Obama has so far kept clear of, such as implementing a no-fly zone in Syria.
