Senator Clinton has to say what is necessary to push as many votes as she can before the Peter Paul vs Clintons case begins to make noise. Here's some news already hitting the blogs ands internet on the Paul Case:

Hillary "Republican" Clinton has now officially declared herself as part of the NeoCon club with her offensive "obliterate" remark. As noted in the article Isreal has the 6th largest nuclear arsenal although it never denies or acknowledges this fact. Hillary must be getting coached on her foreign policy by Cheney. We don't need anymore chicken hawks in the White House.

Go Obama!

Hillary Clinton and John McCain sing a duet(with Bush on harmony); "Bomb bomb, bomb... bomb, bomb Iran"

Maybe Hillary misspoke about "obliteration." Just like she misspoke about sniper fire in Bosnia.

George Stephanopoulous is a joke. Talk about pandering. She did not even answer one hard question. George wants back in the white house with Clinton so he can call people from Indiana names when they are not looking again--what a whimp.

This is an embarrassment to the American people. I was almost as disgusting as "Morning Joke--Joe s." fawning all over Clinton. This could have made even the most hardened Conservative--puke.

I know it did me.

I'm a republican and I vote for Obama, he's the only one that has guts and intelligence.

McCain has guts, but as his gas tax proves, he has very little intellegence. And he is just too old.

Clinton is not trustworthy, and I don't want her to start World War Three by "Obliterating" other countries.

More importantly, Israel has a second strike capability, that is, a capability of striking any enemy even if that enemy has already destroyed Tel Aviv. A single nuclear weapon might able to take out most of the Israeli population, which lives around Tel Aviv, but Israel has enough capability to deliver a society-smashing blow on Iran within hours. Iran would be triumphant, and then incapable of functioning as a society, in very short order.

And there isn't a strategic thinker in the Middle East who doesn't know that, as should Senator Clinton.

-------------------------------------------------

But, you see, Senator Clinton isn't big on reading intelligence reports...

...so she votes for things like authorizing Dub's private war in Iraq.

Before judging Hillary's remarks, please read the entire answer she gave. Saying "we would be able to obliterate them" isn't the same as pledging that we will.

CLINTON: Well, the question was, if Iran were to launch a nuclear attack on Israel, what would our response be? And I want the Iranians to know that if I am president, we will attack Iran. And I want them to understand that. Because it does mean that they have to look very carefully at their society. Because whatever stage of development they might be in their nuclear weapons program, in the next 10 years during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say, but those people who run Iran need to understand that. Because that, perhaps, will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish, and tragic.

I agree that Morning Joe, the Moronic Jerk of the conservative lunatic fringe, is utterly unwatchable. This above average jerk has never supported the average joes unless they're average joe millionaires or billionaires. I've noticed that he's had to team up with the beautiful blonde Mika to try to help his sagging ratings but even that doesn't fool us. He belongs on FOX!

Go Obama!

Excellent point Mr. Windrem. Your analysis just proves the fact that Hillary is pandering. She is just out to get votes in any way she can regardless.

Yet, I do not believe that your report will go any further than this blog. The MSM is not interested in reporting any Hillary problems. Just Obama problems.

Sick of corruption, sick of the Clintons — Mon, 05 May 2008 15:26:20 GMT

We can all be thankful that Obama will be accepting the Democratic party nomination for President at the convention. Hillary is a loose cannon. She is so desperate for Monica's boyfriend to get some more hot intern action, that she is willing to say anything. How sad that there are people in this country willing to support someone so corrupt for the highest office in the land.

Obama in 2008. Integrity matters and the Clintons have none. Please pick a female running mate Senator Obama, but not Hillary!

Who are we kidding?

Israel can clean up operations faster then we can....
They have no love of the arabs, so they can be as ruthless as they want to be.....

Iran just better worry about keeping it's two oil refineries working and stop trying to act like a bully.

JAF — Mon, 05 May 2008 15:28:15 GMT

This is a ridiculous article. Of course the IAF and IDF could launch weapons AFTER Israel has been annihilated by a first strike! The point is that there is something called "deterrence" which perhaps the author should look into? And maybe it helps deterrence to have the strongest country in the world offereing a protective nuclear shield to one of the smallest countries in the world?!! But Obama gets unbiased media treatment right?!! Yeah right..

More bad judgement comming from Clinton.

She doesn't even know how to pump gas.

Can she read?

How did she ever make it as a Senator?

Others wrote her bills for her!

No wonder she was fired from her first job!

America cannot afford another Clinton!

She want the road constuction workers to lose their jobs for her gas tax.

She has not introduced a bill for her gas tax.

She is a liar.

No one can trust a women who trusts Bill Clinton!

Jamil - Dearborn, MI — Mon, 05 May 2008 15:28:44 GMT

It's funny how everyone in the world was up in arms after Ahmadinejad supposedly said he wants to "wipe Israel off the map" (which he denies saying) but no one really cares that Clinton threatened to "obliterate" Iran. What is the difference between wiping off the map and obliterating??? Clinton sounds more and more like Bush every day - she wants to obliterate another country and yesterday she said she won't listen to the economists on the gas tax because they are "elitists"!!! She is too dumb to even be a senator, nevermind president.

Uh oh. Now you've done it. The wraith of the pro-Likkud supporters here in the US is about to come down on MSNBC. Expect about 1000 emails to this site calling you anti-Semetic. The media is NOT allowed to say that Israel has first strike, much less SECOND strike nuclear capability. AIPAC doesn't like anyone to be reminded of this nasty little secret. Makes it harder for them to paint Israel as a helpless victim in the middle of all those bad Muslim terrorist states who SOMEDAY may have nuclear weapons. Makes it harder to get those beaucoup billions of dollars from the US for military hardware.

Nice foreign policy idea Democrats. Let Israel destroy all the Muslim countries in the mid-east. What could wrong with that?

Good. Glad this is finally getting talked about. We don't need a hot-head, war hawk in the office, we've had that already. We need someone who listens to the people, not always claim they are right (gas tax holiday, voting to go to war with Iraq and not apologizing, this obliterate Iran and not apologizing, calling Putin names and not apologizing, lying about NAFTA, Bosnia, CAFTA, etc., etc.), but can claim they made a mistake. When you start threatening other countries, especially when you are not yet president, it sends a really bad signal to the rest of the world. This is a very dangerous person trying to get into the office, why aren't people catching on to this?
