AMERICAblog: Boston Globe blasts Hillary for saying she'd nuke Iran; says she shouldn't be answering the phone at 3am

I am in Europe for two weeks, this weekend marks the midpoint. I was amazed at how unabashedly the locals adore Hillary, while they know very little of Obama. While they support anyone but Bush, or McCain, they love her...really really love her...(sorry Sally Field). When I try to tell them a little about how Hillary and Bill are ruining, er running their campaign they are surprised.
The MSM is definitely at work on this side of the pond too...

off subject. the iraq war & bad intel???
how do you get intel and not check it out? its not like some guy named oscar checked it out. this was the CIA that was suppossed to check it out. their is no way that the CIA got it wrong. they check & check & check. they investigate the informants. they don't get it wrong. If they did get it wrong and later found out their error, it would not be likely that they would get it wrong again and again and again.

Susan Rice, Obama's foreign policy advisor, had Jamie Rubin of the Clinton campaign blubbering like a baby on Wolfie's Late Edition over this very statement.
She obliterated him. What a brilliant woman.

75% of Edwards donors are not giving to Obama...as well as their political support.
Edwards disappoints in not endorsing him.

I am more than a little disappointed in John Edwards, not because he hasn't endorsed but because he hasn't said a word or hardly a word, since he abruptly dropped out of the race. I suppose if you want a life in politics especially after this race you need to be careful of what you say , but to not say anything is puzzling. It seems like he is angling for a top spot with either of the candidates after the election and therefore cannot afford to upset either one. Obama's message, at least to me, is more like what John Edwards was advocating. So was John just spouting the things he thought Americans would like to hear or was he for real. He has been very disappointing, he was my pick.
It is also rumored that Elizabeth is going to appear with Clinton in NC, her reasoning is she likes Clinton's health plan. I wonder if there is not more to it than that?

I have been saying that for months 'where is Edwards?' Look at the video of him blasting Hillary earlier this year. Then Hillary says all these nasty things and Edwards is silent. I get blasted in chatrooms for this but if Edwards was true to the things he has said, he would have said more by now. But to be completely silent? I don't get it. His silence tells me he agrees with Hillary, sorry I said it. But you folks are missing the big story here, the post. The world is blasting Hillary for her dangerous comments!!!! Is this what we want? Imagine if Obama had said this, they would be talking about his inexperience forever.

Good point Gus! Edwards is far too silent, and it tells me in a way the type of individual he might very well be. The Boston Glove is the only American Newspaper that has the balls to comment on Hillary's take on nuclear proliferation. Personally, I've never seen the media so docile when it comes to the politics that matter.
I'm going to start reading the newspaper and journal blogs from other countries. It seems this is the only way to really get a handle on what other countries are thinking. Our stations are too chicken -*hit to report the things that matter.

Hillary has been showing a level of foreign policy ignorance that rivals Bush's.
Just goes to show: You can sit on your dead ass in Senate committee meetings all your life, and it doesn't mean jack when it comes to judgment in the Real World.

I'm so glad the media is picking up this story finally, even if it's just one paper. Iran hasn't threatened to attack anyone. For Hillary to threaten nuclear war with Iran over non-existent threats is extremely dangerous and even criminal. Because, as it's been pointed out, she's threatening to kill millions of innocent people.

Story I read on the Edwards non-endorsement was that he and Elizabeth wanted Obama to include insurance mandates in his health care plan, and he wouldn't.
Hillary has insurance mandates in her plan but, for a number of reasons, they don't like her.
So, no endorsement.

The Breck Girl is gutless. He had the chance to endorse Obama when it would have mattered but he decided to play games. He was waiting to see if he would be offered the VP slot. Why else would he refuse to endorse? By giving up the opportunity, how in the hell is that going to help health care in any scenario?

This was big news among our armed forces overseas. They absolutely despise Hillary as they did Bill Clinton for disrespecting our veterans. When she threatened Iran, she immediately put at risk our heroes fighting the Islamofascists in order to preserve our freedoms at home. As long as we let fools like Billary insult our men and women in uniform, the Democratic Party is going to struggle with an image of weakness and cowardice.

Super Delegates should listen to his type of stupidity.
Hillary and her camp in their desperate attempt to save a monumental failure of a campaign have said about anything. Eventually this type of recklessness catches up with one and further (in additon to the fact she has lost the campaign, having lost the popular vote and pledged delegate count) demonstrates she does not deserve the nomination.

lol Truthserum... the unending insult to the military by the Republicans and Bush is somewhere eight miles higher than any imagined slight by the Clintons, who I also despise. Any soldier who still holds the Repukes in higher esteem than the Dems is a brain dead loser.

It's about time, as always, that someone from the old time media reported this with an equally and strongly worded response.
It rankled me enough to send a rapid, polite letter to Evan Bayh after he voiced tacit approval of Hillary's comments a couple of days ago. I also pasted the comments from Dr. Jeffrey Lewis that John A. posted a couple of days ago. Hat tip to John, btw.

Hey John did you happen to catch Obama putting Chris Wallace in his place at "FOX NEWS"? HAHAHA What a wimp, Wallace made him look like a fool for boycotting Fox for all that time only to come crawling when he is getting his butt kicked by Clinton with the white, Catholic ,female vote. I really liked the old "don't be a stranger" remark followed by Obama's viscious " I won't ". HAHAHA Your guy is just to much I hope he didn't hurt Fox to much. HAHAHA

Daniel73, did you hear anything Obama said? You really dont get Obama do you?
You probably dont remember a time in this country when politics were discussed with dignity and probity. Not the jell-o wrestling we have had since the Clinton/Bush 2 years.
It is sad that younger people dont remember a time when journalists actually did their jobs and people could get real information on the issues instead of thinking an insult festival is 'news'.
sad.

This is just a bs maneuver by Clinton - she is in NO WAY proposing a real Lincoln-Douglas-style debate but the msm is plying along - AGAIN!
She wants dozens of consecutive 2 minute sound bites because she is losing and going broke. She desperately needs free air time.
Please Go - Vote NO

I just voted 'NO' several times (just clean your cache). We can't afford to debate Hillary any more. She is getting real desperate and is willing to say anything. If Obama slips up and says something wrong (eg Rev. Wright), we are screwed. Obama needs to lay low and preserve his lead.
Plus Billary has her history wrong. The Lincoln-Douglas debates were an embarrassing time in our history when superficial nitpicking was the standard-operating-procedure at a debate. They accomplished nothing and were more about public preening and grandstanding. Obama needs to object to such ludicrous public theatrics.

Sounds like McCain has decided who the democratic nominee will be:
Meanwhile, Obama backs Petraeus for his promotion; which is probably a pretty good move on Obama's part:
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama, who has called for withdrawing U.S. combat troops from Iraq, said on Sunday he will vote to confirm the top commander there for a new job as head of the military's Central Command."
