Obliterate was perhaps an unfortunate choice of words - but if the mullahs start slinging nukes, what is a viable option? Diplomacy? A bit late for that then...

Obliterate was the perfect word (none / 0)
It shows Hillary's mindset

What it shows (none / 0)
is  her being tough-minded when it comes to hard decisions - to placate the "women are too soft to be Commander-in-Chief" crowd, and her commitment to Isreal for the Jewish-American voters - nothing new under the sun.

The silly part is the idea that we would even get a chance to intervene first.  I dare say if Iran got off a nuke 1st strike on Isreal, Isreal would create a fused glass parking lot just east of Iraq in short order. They can take care of themselves, in other words.  We do, however, have a mutual treaty w/Isreal, and as detestible as it might sound, you gotta admit that if Iran or some other similar entity actually used a nuke in a 1st strike situation,
well, then all bets are off - we can't have that.

There's still that pesky treaty, and I'm pretty sure Iran will still be around...

It was a gaffe (none / 0)

and should be treated as such. If she sees foreign policy as a strength, this is yet another golden opportunity to undermine her narrative, and remind voters about sniper-gate too.

My take (none / 0)

Didn't the N.I.E say the Iranians don't have a nuclear arms programme?

 So why talk in terms as though they have as Clinton did?

 Very counterproductive in regards to reconciling with Iran.

 Besides, if any country were to attack Israel with nukes, well, I suppose they'd get immediately hammered by Israeli nukes. Don't see where the US would come into the picture.
