152. Actually, in this absurd hypothetical, Israel would nuke Iran...
... before the US had time to retarget our own weapons. ICBMs aren't reprogrammable target-wise in a few minutes. By the time we completed the process of getting the order down the chain of command to the bunkers where we have the nukes, then got them retargeted, then conferred with the remaining authorities in Israel, and then with the Russians, Tehran would already be a glowing bowl of glass.

So it's not only moot, it's irrelevant. Which makes one wonder why Ms. Clinton made a point of saying it in the first place.
