WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama accused rival Hillary Clinton of saber rattling toward Iran on Sunday and compared her approach to that of unpopular President George W. Bush.
"I think it's language that's reflective of George Bush. We have had a foreign policy of bluster and saber rattling," Obama said of Clinton's threat to "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel.
"It is important that we use language that sends a signal to the world community that we're shifting from the sort of cowboy diplomacy, or lack of diplomacy, that we've seen out of George Bush," the Illinois senator said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Obama and Clinton sat for simultaneous TV interviews on different networks two days before primary contests in North Carolina and Indiana, the latest states to vote in the nominating process to determine who will take on Republican John McCain in the November election.

BHO’s immaturity is a major deficit for his backers.
Obama is so naive.
Mr. Obama has no idea what makes the mullahs respond.
Here’s a hint: Talking won’t do it.
Every time we hear this drivel from Obeyme, we should post the picture of the terrorist holding up the head of a recently decapitated victim! He’s a complete asswipe.
You know, I know Hillary has said several times that she doesn’t think Iran should have nukes but has Obama ever said it?
I don’t know how he could say that he would be tough with Iran but then claim Hillary just wants “Cowboy” talk. How many Jewish lives will he negotiate away?
Dhimmirats are nothing but
appeasers and socialists.
Everything they stand for in foreign and domestic policy falls into these descriptions.
love this
“naive???” or like a wolf leering at little red riding hood.
Obama: "I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems, ....I will not weaponize space...
I will slow development of future combat systems...
I will institute a 'Defense Priorities Board' to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used ..."
How about an ingenious argument?
He wants to talk to them in order to find out what their nuke program is about first. They wouldn’t lie to the Messiah now, would they?
What IS that picture?
It looks like he’s masturbating with a cell phone and ejaculating roses!
And we know how that “fairy tale” ended.
I’ve never heard him say it, Slapshot.
“He wants to talk to them in order to find out what their nuke program is about first. They wouldn’t lie to the Messiah now, would they?”
Nope, not at all. I’m sure if Obama becomes Prez, he’ll go to IRan on a peace mission and Mahmood will show him a supposed “nuclear energy” site and he’ll come back to confirm that bush lied and Iran isn’t developing nuclear weapons.
Apparently, there is yet one more icon of America that Obama is ashamed of. That is, the hard working cowboy and his taciturn no-nonsense approach to life. Instead, Obama offers us the nuanced style that would have us believe he can charm the mad mullahs into liking us and not carrying through with their terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Israel, and Argentina. They, the mad mullahs who rule the people of Iran, are the enemies of all civilization, be it Israel, the attempts to have self-government in Iraq and Lebanon, and even the Sunni-majority states in the Gulf, and their own suppressed people. We're all in this together, but Obama offers the absurd panacea of his prattle as an alternative to facing up to these malicious mass murderers with firm warnings that are certainly true.
That picture needs to be made into a velvet print.
