Thread Name: BS: Hillary threatens to obliterate Iran
Subject: RE: BS: Hillary threatens to obliterate Iran
You guys conveniently for get the proviso in the original statement. IT IS CONDITIONAL! For those of you who are lacking, it is an IF THEN statement. Did you miss the part about a VALID threat? No one is advocating a preemptive strike from Hillary's camp (I can't believe I am actually defending Hillary Clinton!) nor do I advocate a preemptive strike but our willingness and ability to respond had better be there. I don't know how we got to be global cop but it sure seems as though one is needed. Iran has a right to exist and to choose its own government, no matter how much we may disagree with them. Same goes for Israel. That's the current situation and no one is nuking anyone and that is FINE by me!

IF IF IF! It is important to let someone who is sounding and acting aggressive toward an ally know that if certain lines are crossed it will have certain, sure consequences. Now I know that some of you precious ones were not raised that way---but you should have been. You have got to know where the boundaries are and what the consequences are and that is what Hillary was telling Iran.
