Clinton on An Iran Attack: 'Obliterate Them'

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."

1. sucking up to AIPAC or Warmonger???

she DID vote for the IWR, but I wonder if this is pandering to AIPAC.

4. great impersonation of Bush

[polpilot]

7. She's going after the neo-con vote!! Right on..Pro-War Hillary bombs away!

[beachmom]

5. No, if you see her talk about it more in depth on KO, this is clearly

way bigger than Israel or Iran. This is a policy where we will tell nations we'll "obliterate" them if they attack Country X. It is crazy, and infinite in scope. I don't know if she means it or not, but if she does, her ideas are too dangerous.

8. They used to call that "genocide".

It used to be a war crime.

Now, it's just American "politics as usual".

How far we've come!

2. That Sounds like MAD not the treaty we signed with them and Taiwan.

We are supposed to defeat the government and destroy the military but to Obliterate them language will just get them pissed off at us.

3. by "THEM" does Clinton mean Hamas or Hezbollah, Iran's proxy warriors?

Good luck with the sinplistic, jingoistic sabre-rattling, Hillary! That worked REALLY well for the Chimp!

6. BTW just so everyone understand. On top of their own systems they have our PATROIT batteries

The launchers IRAN has are puny and pathetic. Any attack will instantly fail because 1/4th to 1/2th will fail to launch and spread radioactivity all over their homeland.

Oh and IRAN is not developing nukes. They learned not to do that when the North Koreans failed to even detonate a GIANT test warhead effectively after decades of research.

9. Hillary is a war-monger and a monster. I will never vote for her for anything. n/t

[IsItJustMe]

10. Militant Hillary. Yes, that's what I have been looking for. Eight more years of this shit.

[WinkyDink]

11. THE QUESTION is ESSENTIAL to understanding her answer. I'm sick of the

disingenuousness, not to mention the extreme indifference to Israel's obliteration, I've been reading on DU about this issue.

NOT ONE WORD have I read herein, suggesting that maybe, just maybe, IRAN should NOT so attack.

[BlueJac]

12. Time has come for this country to quit marching to drums of WAR!

[Taxmyth]

13. And Senator Obama will give a nice speech if Iran attacks Israel

Let's make sure that message is heard, the American people need to know.
