Hillary Clinton is not all there. Did you see her cackle insanely, when Keith Olbermann asked her a serious question about Richard Mellon Schaife?
Do we want someone who lies and unpredictable like her, to answer that 3am call? She seems gung ho like Bush and Cheney, when it comes to starting wars.

i guess her 'obliterate them' comments weren't meant for sane audiences...only the wingers for pandering purposes.

I saw that interview with Olbermann. I thought he was being gracious, all things considered. Hillary was nervous, you could tell from that laugh of hers. This nuke "problem" is big. She votes for war and now would nuke anyone, let's face it, any country that touches Israel.

I don't get US TV...and have not seen it reported anywhere...but has anyone asked Hillary, or Obama for that matter, what they thought of Carter trying to broker peace in the Isreali-Palestinian war?
Or is that one too tough for our clown car press?

She's kind of nuts, though probably not "John McCain" nuts.

The sad part is that the Pennsylvania voters won't hear about this gaffe until after they vote tomorrow.
Sen. Clinton is so obsessed with looking tough that she'll say things like this. If she becomes President, how many people will have to die before she's convinced herself that she is "tough?"

Clinton voted for the Iraq war resolution Clinton voted for the Kyl-Lieberman amendment on Iran. Any questions? :-(
Clinton said if Iran acquired nuclear weapons and used it on Israel she would retaliate. Nothing wrong with that. She also said that to prevent a nuclear proliferation in the Middle East she suggested an umbrella alliance with these countries and tell a nuclear armed Iran that we would blow them to hell if they nuked one of these countries. Sounds like a better idea than having several more countries acquiring nukes. This alliance would, of course, require approval of Congress. What would Obama do if Israel was nuked by Iran? I would hope that he would react similarly.
People need to listen before going off halfcocked.

Busboy! You are in the "700 Club" now!
The Eu is terrified about this statement of Hillary, I am sure. People dont always realise how close the Middle East is to Europe. Any nuclear fallout is going to affect a wide, wide area. Russia and China have a big stake in Iran, too. They have nukes, lets just start a world nuclear war and end it all for the fundies, 'K?
I keep asking them what happens if they ruin the planet for everybody and Christ does not come back? Really, what if he does not come and get you and you have to live on a poisoned planet in misery until you die of starvation or radiation poisoning? Tell me fundies! I hate these Christians who keep calling for, hoping for, praying for death and destruction... feh

Tomorrow is Election Day (FINALLY) and we will see just how PA shakes out. And THEN ONWARD to North Carolina where it is pretty much assured that Obama will walk all over Hillary.
Let us all hope and pray that the blasted Super Delegates will MOVE their collective tushies at that point so that we can focus our attention on the real enemy; McSame!

Has Iran ever invaded another country? What would make them want to invade Israel? Our leaders have been itching to go to war with Iran, why? Oil again? Why is Iran so critical to the USA? When is the USA gong to stand up and say Israel is our friend BUT we cannot babysit them nor do we condone their aggressive behavior.

Here is a little brain teaser. You can set the map to do the math. Just slide the bars to how you think the votes will split to see who gets closer to the magic number.
Hillary would nuke Iran if her Israeli paymasters told her to.

Every politician knows never to get into hypotheticals. Someone needs to sit down with Hillary and show her Sunset Boulevard because she is acting more like Norma Desmond each day. Thank you for listening.
John thanks for highlighting this. In the past you have shown yourself something of and Israel hawk, so it is good that, whether its Hillary or some other joker, you are able to see the limits of this warmongering stuff. Of course, any sane person can see that more war provides no security for Israel, or anyone, except the hawks.

Can someone explain to me why we're pledging to defend a country that has something like 200 nukes and the ability to deliver them from a country that has none?
elpedro

That's an easy one. It's not who's nuking them, it's who's PAYING for the nuking. And who runs our country's monetary policy. And of course, we wouldn't them to get an anti-Arab reputation. That would be just awful. So we'll do it for them, but let them make threats like they actually have the balls to do it themselves.

Slideguy: That's an excellent question but an area that is such a hot potato no one likes to discuss it openly. Among other things our president Dubya likes to remind us we are in a war against terrorism; BUT we never hear a word about why we seem to mindlessly support a terrorist state.

probably Daddy Bush and Bill are are getting mortified as they watch Hillary come apart. She was their ticket to skim 100's of millions, if not billions out of the Arab and new Russian republics with their business influence. It's like watching the fastest racehorse break a leg in the stretch.
