US secretary of state says her country focusing on trying to change Iranian behavior, not planning anything other than sanctions

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said her country has no plan for military action against Iran over its nuclear program, in a television interview broadcast on Wednesday.

"Obviously, we don't want Iran to become a nuclear weapons power, but we are not planning anything other than going for sanctions," she told al-Arabiya television.

Now if this was Dick Cheney saying this I would suspect something was afoot regarding taking out Iran nuclear program. Coming from Clintoon I believe they will only do sanctions.

Translation: Iran, ignore our words, even “a strongly worded letter of protest”. We’re just whining and won’t do anything real.

Sort of like a trial balloon, but more like deception, misinformation or disinformation.

Used to be, we had plans for military actions for every conceivable scenario anywhere on earth.

Maybe Obama ordered all those plans burned.

It’s a simple solution, you invite some Iranian Dignitaries to a dinner at the State Department and you give them an ultimatum.. you have 120 days to close your uranium enrichment facilities under US supervision and you will cease and desist end your nuclear ambitions or you will be annihilated and hand them a countdown clock.

Around countdown day 90 you start bringing home all US troops and advise Pakistan & Afghanistan you’ll be back when the area cools down.

When the UN steps in you give them the same time frame to get off US soil.

When the 120 days are up you wait 2 - 3 days and then wipe them off the map.

Once the above is done.. there will be peace in the middle East.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said her country has no plan for military action against Iran...

Fer crying out loud, the Pentagon has "war-gamed" every imaginable (and most unimaginable) scenarios and holds periodic updates on these "contingency plans" to keep them current. I'd bet we have plans to invade Canada!

No one expects a "Clinton" to speak the truth anyway...no harm done.

If Hillary ever told the truth I suspect she would begin to twirl like a Dervish and spue green pea soup from her mouth and burst into flames.

Storm clouds are gathering... If Iran goes nuke, there will be trouble in this world, real trouble. And we’ve got Zippy the Pinhead for a Commander-in-Chief.

Maybe the entire interview was an exercise in disinformation. Afterall, there have been several news articles claiming that the USA was on the verge of attacking Iran.

I find it VERY curious that Phil Berg has gone 'active' again, at this time, when there are lots & lots & lots of problems, so many of them urgent critical national security issues.

This will dawn on the MSM perhaps in the future.

Roger that. We had contingency plans for every area/country in this world plus even different regions/of a country.
