And Now, President Strangelove
IBD ^ | April 23, 2008

Election 2008: She doesn't support missile defense or the war on terror. But Hillary Clinton pledges to defend Israel with nukes. In a tight race for the presidency, she's learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.


What a difference a year and a little competition make. On Feb. 14, 2007, Sen. Clinton was the seemingly inevitable Democratic nominee for president in 2008. Barack Obama was a freshman senator whose name few could pronounce. She was intent on getting us out of Iraq and the Middle East.

On that date on the Senate floor, Clinton, who was for the war in Iraq before she was against it, warned of Bush administration bluster toward Iran: "If the administration believes that any — any — use of force against Iran is necessary, the president must come to Congress to seek that authority."

Never mind that President Bush did just that in the case of Iraq, and that Clinton voted to give him that authority. She was insisting on a mother-may-I foreign policy in which the Constitution was de facto amended to give us 535 commanders in chief.

In an interview Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning, America," Clinton seemed to forget about congressional permission.

"I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran," she told ABC's Chris Cuomo. "In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

Everything this stupid bwitch says now has the ring of Dennis Kucinich to it.

Remember in the early debates in both the ‘04 and ‘08 races when Kucinich would say “In a Kucinich administration...” and we would all laugh, like if there are an infinite number of parallel universes there still is never going to be a “Kucinich Administration”.

Well, it’s like that for Hillary now. A “Hillary Administration” is now just as fanciful as a “Kucinich Administration”.

It ain’t agonna happen, Hillary.

Get over it.

You’re not going to be President any more!

As usual, wondering about the reaction of the feminists, college morons, and the MSMD had W. Bush or McCain mentioned nuking Iran (or anyone).

Everything that comes out of Mrs. Clinton’s mouth is a lie.

She is a polished prevaricator.

CCF triangulates using verbal chaff (lies) to ensnare gullible voters.

Paint me shocked.

Paint a large proportion of those gullible as sycophants of those corrupted by CCF's dangling the possibilities of cushy government and university positions, the power or tenure attached thereto, health insurance and the otherwise-not-easy-to-come-by pensions they would grant to the undeserving.

They're figurative "packs of cigarettes" to the middle and mid-to-upper class Dhimmis.

The entire Dem leadership plus the MSM allies to these leftists, are all, all socialist pacifists. They are frauds and as well as believers in Global Warming, any idea that these Dems would protect our borders, protect our national security is insanity. These are appeasers as we know when they saw the China Syndrome and Silkwood. They follow their emotions and when push came to shove, they could easiy punish Americans rather than nuke Syrians, Iranians or other Islamofascists.
