There has been a lot of talk that 2008 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is as hardline as the incumbent George W. Bush when it comes to foreign policy. Then I came across this video in which she criticizes Bush for being too soft on Iran.
(Hillary Clinton at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs on January 19, 2006)
Apart from the lies about President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's statement on Israel, where he never said "Wipe Israel off the face of the map", and the Iran's nuclear weapons, which US intelligence says was halted in 2003, it shocks me to realize that Hillary has the audacity to criticize Bush for not being hardline enough.
And the conclusion I can draw from this is simple: Had Hillary become President in 2004, she would've attacked Iran by now, potentially using nuclear weapons.

This woman couldn’t keep her husband’s pants zipped at all times, and she is going to recognize any threat from the Nutjob running IRAN????? Then she is going to do something about it? Give me a break.
I doubt she would have attacked by now. More likely, the Clintonistas would be distracting attention from Iran, and arguing that “Bush did not attack Iran. He had 4 years to do so, but he did not do it. Therefore, it is hypocrisy to criticize Hillary for not attacking Iran.”
Of course she would have.
1) there isn’t a person alive that had they been President of the United States of America would have done anything different based on the intelligence that President Bush did in 2002, after 9/11.
2) The difference between a Hillary & Bush is Hillary would have taken a personal insult at the actions of Iran and taken a “oh ya, I will show you” attitude.
I imagine that considering how muzzies feel about women, Ahmadinejad would have insulted her. Under those circumstances, she would have had Reno do and snatch and grab on him and she would still be personally waterboarding him in the Whitehouse basement. Not necessarily for the good of the country but because she was pissed off.
Had Hillary become president in 2004, we would not be able to read about it here anymore.
Impossible - she will have a foreign policy exactly like Big Bill. Smile a lot, do lots of photo-op diplomacy, and do one’s best to push any really tough decisions into the future.
This is just standard liberal operating procedure. They are always in favor of being tough in the war we are not fighting. Start to actually fight a war with Iran and she will oppose it.
More likely she would have attacked Israel.
