Would Hillary Clinton bomb Iran?
When asked that question her answer referred to the recent Israeli bombing of Syria & that she supported that because Syria has some nuke project going that came from N. Korea. Did her answer imply that she would bomb Iran if it was confirmed that Iran had a Nuke weapon(s) in progress?

9. no. she didn't. go read the amendment.

11. ooga. booga.
My guess is no. I'm no Hillary fan. she's my last choice, but I doubt she'd bomb Iran. Some folks here have built Hillary up to be such a monster, they're having trouble really looking at her words and record.

24. Yeah-Like This Guy
“The world must work to stop Iran's uranium enrichment program and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. It is far too dangerous to have nuclear weapons in the hands of a radical theocracy,”

12. Yes, and when Ahmedinijad calls her to ask: 'Why are you bombing us?!?!?"
she'll say: "Oh you KNOW why!"

15. Her answer to that question & the US Occupation of Iraq
answer she gave makes me hope against hope that she will not be
the Dem Candidate.

14. Its not about a nuclear threat, its about money and contracts.
She voted for the Iraq war when there was no evidence, even the unelectable Dennis Kucinich said it was about oil and voted against it every time. Is Dennis that much smarter than her or did she have another agenda? She even said that she spoke to Bill and his people from his administration, I think she knew what she was voting for and thats why the speech she gave her a position on the middle of the fence but voted on the side of yes. She voted to yesterday to show where she stands, and yes should will continue war for money. She is bought and paid for. Just my belief though, I'm sure no one else in the world would side with me.

21. We must conclude Clinton is basically a neocon. I will prove this by posting a photo of her w/Quayle
She's not my cup of tea...

But the anti-Clinton rhetoric is getting pretty stupid around here. I fear she'll keep us enmeshed in Iraq, but the notion that she might bomb Iran became absurd the second Wes Clark endorsed her.

26. Silly sarcasms are real helpful in any discussion.
They elevate the debate. Glenn Beck method of discussing issues is real productive.

25. Just a Guess, but....
Edited on Thu Sep-27-07 06:18 PM by Totally Committed


my guess is if AIPAC wants her to, she probably will.

But, that IS just a guess.

27. Without a doubt.
I thought so before her comment, and even so was staggered by her comment. I can't understand why it isn't getting more attention.

30. "I can't understand why it isn't getting more attention"
My guess it that the Corp. Media wants her to become the Dem Candidate so that they
will destroy her. The Corp. Media wants another Repug Regime because the Repugs favor
Corp. consolidated Media power.

31. Yep, and if their puppet self-destructs, they still win.
Backing Hill is just good business.

33. Odd - Non answer but Wolf Blitzer never reported it
CNN-Wolf Blitzer and his sidekick have been touting Hillary and her smooth and quick answer on torture all day long as spin to illustrate her independence from her husband, but not once have they addressed her non-answer on Russert's bombing Iran question. Of course she would support bombing Iran or anything else her ME sponsors want her to do.

34. Sen Clinton is already acting like she has the Nomination.
She is appealing to Moderate Repugs & Swing Voters. She is banking on a majority of Dem votes so she
isn't trying to appeal to non-conservative Dems.
