On the eve of the Pennsylvania primary, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., tells "Good Morning America" she would "obliterate" Iran if they attacked Israel. (AP/ABC News)
She is just POing the lefties with that kind of remark.
Attack of the killer chipmunk.
“Dr. StrangeHo!”
I thought they can do it themselves.
Isn’t Iran’s blather about “eliminating” Israel really a cover to pretend their nukes aren’t a threat to the Gulf Arabs? Saddam did the same with his nuke plant in the ‘80s. Saddam told the Iranians, with whom he happened at the time to be engaged in a tremendously bloody war, that his nukes would only be used against Israel. Iranians weren’t convinced, they bombed the nuke plant, unsuccessfully.
With a gun to my head, I would choose her over Baracko Bama. No way could she be as bad as he.
Dr. StrangeHo!”
And I thought McCain’s comments about “getting aggressive” with the Chinese and the Russians was disturbing.
She is. The problem is that if she runs as any more of a hawk than she's been called already by the nutroots, she loses their very vocal support. But if she does get the nomination, expect to see a veer to the right or McCain will kill her on this issue.
Never say never...
Utterly ridiculous and vapid remark by someone who should not be taken serious for such an office. Israel has 200 warheads and is certainly capable of doing the job themselves. And they have recently mentioned their willingness to do so.
And not for an Iranian nuke either.
Has someone been exhausting her pure bodily fluids?
Ooo, she is so butch!
To be realistic for a moment, if we wait until after Iran has attacked Israel with nukes, we could obliterate Iran (so could the Israeli sub force), but there wouldn’t be much left of Israel either.
(Or “Palestine”, for that matter, as if Iran cares.)
Preemption would be a much more moral policy than massive retaliation.
“Has someone been exhausting her pure bodily fluids?”
Did you know Wesley Clark is on her campaign team?
> “I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran,” Clinton said. “In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.”
An empty threat, entirely lacking in conviction. She won’t be POTUS in 10 years to carry this threat out.
The correct time for obliterating Iran is now. Now, before they have nukes. The tanks should be rolling, even as we speak, toward Tehran.
Once Iran has been knocked over, that part of the middle east needs to be re-drawn. Sunnis with Sunnis, Shiites with Shiites, and a new Kurdish state in the North.
I don’t want to think about that!
Hillary in favor of WAR!!??!
Perhaps she misunderstood and thought they meant Bubba!
> With a gun to my head, I would choose her over Baracko Bama. No way could she be as bad as he.
Mate, that’s like choosing between being shot or being hanged. Either choice is going to spoil your day.
