Nuking nations is no joke at all let alone nuclear fall out that wouldn't help Israel or any nation in tht region. Plus the further human displacement. If you condomen murder, genuinely, you would condemn this too. Imainge in their shoes when Hillary siad what she said. That's women and their kids under serious threat and no joke to it. Iran have no logical reason to start nuclear war to sacrifice their oil in industries.

1. Maybe because she didn't threaten any innocent Iranian women?
But try to tell a Clintophobe anything!

4. Women would undoubtedly be included in any Obliteration.

6. She threatened no one. Discussing a hypothetical situation is not a threat.

8. Saber rattling, escalation of rhetoric. Wes Clark even said we needed
to threaten Iran. That's how it sound to me.

7. So we have selective obliteration now? Please explain how she can obliterate Iran without
killing the women and children!

Obliterate sounds so macho! But let's get fucking real. Obliterating a nation involves killing its men, its women, its children, its good people, its bad people, its innocent bystanders, people of all walks of life.

12. to point out the obvious, that innocent women and children would be obliterated....
makes someone a Clintonphobe? No. I am an obliterate-women-and-children-phobe. I really don't like death. I hate radiation. I hate ecological horror. I hate whatever retalation would occur as a result against us (I don't live in a fantasy world large enough to imagine that there would be none.)

Clinton's obliteration idea has to be one of the most craven stupid immoral ideas I have heard in a while. Even bigger than all the race baiting coming from that immoral campaign.

2. At least Olbermann admitted it was wrong and apologized
not something we can get out of the woman who wants to rule the world.

3. That's so wrong
You should know by now that Hillary's feelings are much more important than Iran's.

5. I guess because of the same reason everyone on DU voted for Kerry in the GE in 04
Is the reason Hillary is not wrong. I could never vote for a person whom voted IWR except I voted for Kerry. Well, I'd be a hypocrite.

11. It sounded like a joke to me
I saw it as a figure of speech. KO would not call for violence against a public figure.

13. Hillary is another arrogant Baby Boomer. It is an arrogance of power.
We should invade Iraq and nuke Iran because we can.

After invading Iraq, Hillary and Bush say it was right because we did it.

16. I want nothing more than for those
blood-thirsty, depraved politicians to be held accountable for the blood dripping from their fangs.
