Clinton On Iran Attack: "Totally Obliterate Them"

ABC :

Clinton further displayed tough talk in an interview airing on Good Morning America Tuesday, ABC News' Chris Cuomo asked Clinton what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons.

"I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president we will attack Iran," Clinton said. "In the next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

MWAHAHAHAHA!! CFR FOLKS CFR!!

Wake up and vote RON PAUL write him IN! WAKE UP!

[MichiganJFrog]

No

[MetalCanuck]

Yes he does tell the truth.

[sunzen]

I think Ron Paul is a truth teller...and that is precisely why they wont let him be president.

[MetalCanuck]

Then just write him in anyway because the rest of them are useless and corrupt. So send a message.

[THEhillbilly]

Typical Huffington Post distortions. She said "...we would BE ABLE TO totally obliterate them." Does anyone want to dispute that? I reckon whoever writes Huffington Post headlines is illiterate.

[Brgotn]

Why let facts get in the way??? Obama will solve all of the worlds problems.

[IntelligentDesign]

He will be able to help solve many of the world’s problems, but certainly not all - for instance he will not be able to do anything for close minded bitter people like you.

[IntelligentDesign]

There is something genetically wrong with people who apologize for tyrants – please listen carefully, even though there is nothing that can be done to correct your particular mutation you can still help make things right, if you haven't already done so please give serious thought to not having children.

[who38]

Is that like Ahmadjian's saying that he wanted "to obliterate the government of Israel" and then the words were changed to fit an agenda?

[DavePM]

Yeah. I'm sure the fallout would be great for our troops in Afghanistan, the people of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, China, and eventually the US due that wicked wild atmospheric current. And the Russians, Chinese, Indians, and Pakistanis would not care to use there nukes to prevent this "obliterating" attack.

Maybe she should have stuck to the "I don't want to deal in hypotheticals..." answer she gave to Tim Russert in Feb.

[mrJJ]

Israel has its own nuke arsenal. They can take care of their own nuclear winter without US help.

[elcojonu]

Has she been in touch with Vlad over in Moscow to find out how he would respond to someone dropping a Nuke right next door to him ?
He could say something like this: You do that and we'll drop one in Mexico ( right next door to us ).

[cdnnewsjunky]

"He could say something like this: You do that and we'll drop one in Mexico '
- elcojonu

twisted, but funny!

[WeNeedSomethingBetter]

I think Lou Dobbs, would be in favor of that, reguardless of the "fallout"

[jetgirl]

She already said she'd get the US involved in ANY disputes in the middle east. Now she's going to obliterate Iran? I'm not sure if she believes this or is trying to pander to voters who are scared of terrorism. Either way, it's not something someone should say. Has Dubya even gone that far? I'm sure the Faux News people are salivating at her quote though. They are thrilled. Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!

[CTmom13]

Hillary Clinton has become a Republician WAR MONGER. we cannot allow her to be our president

[elcojonu]

How did she get that way ?
Is this her true self now coming out ?
Does she know something we don't ?

[DogBitez]

Is there any doubt Hillary is a Repub? She's a lying war hawk. Always has been (remember her Iraq and Iran votes), and she always will be... no matter what she claims.

[Rocky4356]

What woman you know with her finger on the trigger would fail to pull it. She has to prove to the world she is tougher than a man. Remember Thatcher and Golda . Please if Hill is in there we better watch out.

[TakeSake]

What if Israel attacked first?

Smart question indeed.

.......... still Hillary will attack Iran!

[thedirtman]

And if Liechtenstein attacks Andorra?

We still attack Iran.

[AdamWykle]

They most likely will, afterall War is a vital industry for the Israelies and they usually start them.

Iran on the otherhand hasnt attacked a country since the seventeenth century.

Read this:

"Report: Netanyahu says 9/11 terror attacks good for Israel"
By Haaretz Service and Reuters

"The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv on Wednesday reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan university that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been beneficial for Israel."

"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/975574.html
______________

So the former Israeli prime minister admits that the 9/11 attacks were beneficial to Israel? And what exactly is meant when he said that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor?" When has American public opinion NOT been in Israel's favor?

Maybe what he meant is that the attacks of 9/11 convinced the American people that Israel's enemies are America's enemies--I don't know, but I am quite offended.

[sunzen]

Bad move Hillary...you have just disqualified yourself from the Presidency...Hello Israel already has enough nuclear weapons to completely destroy IRAN. And to be so cavalier about destroying every man woman and child in a sovreign nation is completely insane. What a strategic blunder...reminder...you are in the democratic party! We are anti war and our country is broke we cannot afford to start world war 3...silly

[GoodGuysandBadGuys]

"Hello Israel already has enough nuclear weapons to completely destroy IRAN. And to be so cavalier about destroying every man woman and child in a sovreign nation is completely insane."

absolutely! the woman has now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is completely nuts.

[Kurukulla]

See? We agree. That woman is nuts.

Hypocrisy in USA:

We criticize Iran's president for saying wipe Israel off the map (wrong translation).

Hillary a US Presidential Candidate threatens Iran on National TV on the eve of Primary!!!

But don't know Shiite from shinola.

(hat tip to Mrs. Cleaver.)

[tompoe]

By all means, nuclear war is the battle cry. What Clinton said, is that Iran has no nuclear weapons, and will assume her diplomatic skills will not prevent Iran from moving full steam ahead to develop nuclear weapons, and her diplomatic skills will not prevent Iran from striking out at Israel without reason, and her diplomatic skills will deter Israel from obliterating Iran, so she can do the obliterating. Makes sense to me. Especially, since Clinton is stupid enough to respond to a nonsensical question from an idiot.

[GoodGuysandBadGuys]

HA! good points. she basically just admitted that her diplomatic skills suck.

[Skandal]

As usual, wrong again. You cannot provide a single neutral source that claims ahmadinejad has ever been mistranslated. Not one. Conversely, ahmadinejad has repeated essentially the same message on numerous occasions.since.

[rollingdivision]

But remember Iran isn't developing nuclear bombs and doesn't plan to develop nukes. Iran will never have nukes. So, Iran will never be able to attack anyone with nukes. This is a non issue.

[aristippe]

Iran without a nuclear deterrent is suicide at this point.

[rollingdivision]

Do you think Iran is developing nukes?

[rollingdivision]

Do you think Iran is developing nuclear bombs?

[cdnnewsjunky]

Mark this date on the calendar. I think that's your first post that I agree with 100 per cent.

[aristippe]

never say never.

[missjabez]

I think Hillary is trying to impress the Republicans in case the Democratic party gives her the boot when this whole sorry thing is over with. "Hey, Repubs, I'm a tough girl! You'd really like me!"

[who38]

I'm confused. Does that mean she will be McCain's running mate or is she going to do a Joe, I'm an independent position?
