Hillary warns: Don't discount pre-emptive strike on Iran

Image...
Hillary Clinton refused yesterday to rule out a pre-emptive Israeli military strike on Iran. It was the first time that a senior member of the Obama Administration had openly discussed such a possibility.

The US Secretary Of State, speaking a few days before elections in Iran that will determine the fate of President Ahmadinejad, also warned that the country would face retaliation if it launched a nuclear attack on Israel.

As President Obama extends “an open hand”, seeking direct talks with Tehran in his attempt to halt its nuclear programme, Mrs Clinton appeared ready to unnerve the Iranian leadership with talk of a pre-emptive strike “the way that we did attack Iraq”. She said that she was trying to put herself in the shoes of the Iranian leadership, but added that Tehran “might have some other enemies that would do that [deliver a pre-emptive strike] to them”. It was a clear reference to Israel, where Binyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, has talked about the possibility of military action to halt Iran’s nuclear programme — something he views as a threat to the Jewish state.

    Geez.... its bad enough to to have male war mongers but a female looking for war. God will we Americans never learn that we need to take care of our selves and the hell with the biligerant nations that go behind our back and sink our ships and we still call them our friends. I dont know about all of you but I still remember the USS Liberty and i have a deep feeling for the ship and crew because I sailed on several SS Liberty ships. But after the Israeli's bombed and killed and wounded the crew of this ship, I would have called this an act of war, but no we still send them billions of dollars a year and call them friends, what kind of logic is that? I think there is a lot of insanity in our government or else the Israeli government owns our government which is it? This is a real case of: "love thy enemy" stupid.

    It would be the biggest mistake Israhell ever made and they would pay dearly. If the entire Arab world did not turn on them before they surely would then. Israhell is way out of control and needs to be stopped and maybe by being dumb enough to strike Iran would be the nail in thier coffin which is what they need until they decide to try to exist in peace rather live in a world of constant war which is what they have been doing for a few thousand years. They are not the chosen people of war that is about all they seem to be chosen for. Thier day is coming fast.

    Iran has the right to Nukes as long as other countries in the world have them and as long as Israhell is aiming them at Iran. I would be building them to if I was Iran and lived next to the terorists with Nukes. Go Iran.

    Thanks for telling us, Hill! You were pretty cavalier about the handling of nukes during the primaries.
    Now do your job, and take the nukes away from Israel until they sign the non-proliferation treaty.
