Hillary attacks Bernie over Iran

[left-of-center2012]

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is launching a new attack against rival Sen. Bernie Sanders by highlighting a recent statement he made in support of normalizing relations with Iran.
The Clinton campaign released a two-and-a-half-minute video featuring ... a clip of Sanders from Sunday's NBC News debate when he said "I think what we've got to do is move as aggressively as we can to normalize relations with Iran."
...............................

Sanders said he supports moving "aggressively" to normalize relations, however, he added more caution.
"Can I tell that we should open an embassy in Tehran tomorrow? No, I don't think we should. But I think the goal has go to be as we've done with Cuba, to move in warm relations with a very powerful and important country in this world," he said.

1. Hillary want WAR with HER, "ENEMY".

Thank you, President-to-be Sanders!

[roguevalley]

14. none of hers have to fight so ...

[H2O Man]

2. Interesting.

I remember in one of the early debates in the '08 primary season, Senator Obama was attacked for saying that, as president, he would be willing to speak to our enemies. The Iranian leaders were among the identified leaders that some democratic candidates said were unacceptable to communicate with.

Some things never seem to change.

I'm glad that President Obama communicates with Iran. SoS Kerry, too.

3. The thought of her as President is becoming more frightening.

But hey, at least it will be a woman sending our kids (not Chelsea) to die in another war. Hillaristas think that is "progress".

4. The WARMONGER is NOT going to win this election.

This country has had enough of wars! Just fucking STOP IT already, Ms. G.W. Clinton!

That's my new name for her....Ms. G.W. Clinton. She's just as bad, if not WORSE because she's suppose to be a Democrat.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

23. Hillary W. Bush

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. That works for me too!

Either one ... If the shoe fits, wear it.

PEACE

5. She's on a rampage....wow..........just wow....at any cost Hillary!

[TM99]

6. Let's see -- diplomacy or armed aggression?

Yeah, I will take Sanders please.

She doesn't want diplomacy. She is lying out of both sides of her mouth when she proudly says Iranians are her enemies and yet she will work towards diplomacy.

Fuck off neocon! Tell me she isn't like Cheney. I double dare you!

Clinton: Hillary Clinton promises to invite Netanyahu to White House in her first month

http://mondoweiss.net/2015/11/hillary-promises-netanyahu


War for Iran, nice feelings for an asshole that insulted our current POTUS.

[left-of-center2012]

9. "Clinton promises to invite Netanyahu to White House"

So she's in step with the GOP Congress.

[loyalsister]

24. One of the best things about a Sanders presidency

is the possibility of having a Jewish president who is not unconditionally supportive of Israel's hawkishness.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

27. It would probably take a Jewish POTUS to tell Apartheid Israel to fuck off.

[berni_mccoy]

8. That is seriously fucked up. Yup. Desperate is right.

[Motown_Johnny]

10. Did she say she wanted a no fly zone there too???

No?

Maybe she is waiting until the General Election for her more hawkish announcements. How scary is that?

[whatchamacallit]

11. Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran

[Broward]

12. She continues to sink lower and lower.

[left-of-center2012]

13. The more mud Hillary throws ...

... the more she slips.

15. K & R !!!

16. Strange tactic for Clinton campaign.

The main reason she lost the 2008 primary was that she voted for the Iraq War.

Now her campaign seems to think that being more hawkish than Sanders on Iran will appeal to Democratic primary voters.

[restorefreedom]

18. they are completely undone.

they don't even know what position to pretend to take in order to appeal to voters.

just flailing at this point.

[Motown_Johnny]

17. Why did it take 4 days for her to realize she didn't agree with Bernie's statement?

It happened on stage within a few feet of her.


Might she have gotten wind of this:

19. During the debate, Clinton was also more conservative than Sanders on Iran.

Question to Bernie Sanders: Should we re-open a U.S. Embassy in Tehran?

SANDERS: I think what we've got to do is move as aggressively as we can to normalize relations with Iran. Understanding that Iran's behavior in so many ways is something that we disagree with; their support terrorism, the anti-American rhetoric that we're hearing from of their leadership is something that is not acceptable.

On the other hand, the fact that we've managed to reach an agreement, something that I've very strongly supported that prevents Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and we did that without going to war. And that I believe we're seeing a fall in our relationships with Iran is a very positive step. So if your question is, do I want to see that relationship become more positive in the future? Yes.

Can I tell that we should open an embassy in Tehran tomorrow? No, I don't think we should. But I think the goal has go to be as we've done with Cuba, to move in warm relations with a very powerful and important country in this world.

MITCHELL: Your response Secretary Clinton?

CLINTON: Well, I'm very proud of the Iran Nuclear Agreement. I was very pleased to be part of what the president put into action when he took office. I was responsible for getting those sanctions imposed which put the pressure on Iran. It brought them to the negotiating table which resulted in this agreement.

And so, they have been so far, following their requirements under the agreement. But I think we still have to carefully watch them. We've had one good day over 36 year and I think we need more good days before we move more rapidly toward any kind of normalization. And we have to be sure that they are truly going to implement the agreement. And then, we have to go after them on a lot of their other bad behavior in the region which is causing enormous problems in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and elsewhere.

20. Looks like the coveted 4 day flip flop to me.

I must admit, there is one thing she is very experienced at.

[cherokeeprogressive]

29. Focus groups take time to organize?

And hey; you have to find just the right mix of people to get the results you want.

[SheenaR]

21. I just don't have a clue

as to who is pulling the strings thinking these are the attacks that will win over voters. She is striking out on every attack (even the ones where she makes a truthful point). The people are not buying it

[leveymg]

26. She must be preparing another Fundraising Letter. n/t

28. Hillary's foreign policy is far, far too bellicose for me to accept. [n/t]

31. Hillary thinks a no fly zone will help defeat ISIL

Which has no planes.
