DISTURBING COMMENT FROM HILIARY

Alright then. Read this comment from Hillary Clinton, from TPM:

“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.”

Ok. So I’m all for protecting Israel. But, it’s a touch early to go around threatening to drop the bomb on ANYBODY. Let’s at least get elected first, before we start scaring the shit out of everybody. And really, was her problem that she didn’t seem tough enough? Is that possible? Can she actually mean this? I would hope not. Though if it is just meaningless political posturing, then I can’t say I’m comfortable with her slinging apocalyptic threats at people in some self interested attempt to pick up political points. Just not my style. I’d prefer our president be a bit more cautious than that. Baseless over the top threats helped get us in the mess we are in today, and it might help her to remember that.
