Three Clinton aides have claimed that Hillary did not suggest she would nuke Iran, even though she herself has said “Their [Iran’s] use of nuclear weapons against Israel would provoke a nuclear response from the United States.” What, besides nuking a country, is a “nuclear response”?
Matt Stoller of Open Left adds:
A massive new security commitment in this volatile region is just insane. And the belligerent rhetoric - ‘totally obliterate them’ - what the hell? It’s like 7th graders with nuclear weapons.
I’m having a harder and harder time seeing the difference between McCain and Clinton. Perhaps Clinton will be more saddened than McCain’s gleefully militarism as she launches an attack on Iraq, but that’s just tone.
The bigger problem is that the most likely scenario is that Israel attacks Iran.
Then what does she do. Nuke Israel.
Of course not but it just shows her Neo-Con thinking in it’s most ignorant being.
When was the last time Iran attacked another country
