"The first post in this thread is an exercise in lying with a literally correct quote by leaving out the context."

No, it wasn't. I posted this quote, with link to the article, to start a discussion. My first thought went back that quote from the Iranian president about 'wiping Israel off the map' (which, according to Juan Cole, is not at all what he said but more about that later). Both statements are abhorrent, whatever the context, because they make the possibility of peace more distant and that of war more conceivable.

First McCain talking about 100 years of occupation (read: war) in Iraq, and now Clinton speaking openly of mass murder on a genocidal scale. Obama's looking better and better all the time. At least he seems to have something on his mind besides WAR WAR WAR.
