"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 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them." "
Yes, the context is conditional on Iran attacking Israel with nukes.
But the next sentence makes no sense at all and makes her sound sociopathic. You don't threaten to obliterate a foreign nation for "considering" launching an attack anymore than you arrest someone for "dreaming of" assassinating an incompetent, scurrilous, economically destructive nutball of a leader!
IF her political decisions are going to based on this kind of pushbutton histrionic logic, we should demote her to perfume sales at Macy's.
