What has taken Hillary so long? Perhaps she believes that she will actually get the nomination and will be forced to deal with McCain… from the other night at the Pennsylvania debate:

“We should be looking to create an umbrella of deterrence that goes much further than just Israel. Of course I would make it clear to the Iranians that an attack on Israel would incur massive retaliation from the United States. But I would do the same with other countries in the region … . You can’t go to the Saudis or the Kuwaitis or UAE and others who have a legitimate concern about Iran and say, well, don’t acquire these weapons to defend yourself unless you’re also willing to say we will provide a deterrent backup.”

And now, supposedly, she has said to Good Morning America (to be aired tomorrow):

“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president we will attack Iran…” “In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.”

My first reaction is that she making these statements for political expediency and, if she does become President, will look for a political way to wiggle out of these remarks.  Looking to make herself seem not quite as lame as she has been in the recent past.

Some have said that she is looking to protect those countries whose repressive regimes rule the Middle East.  True.  But perhaps Hill is beginning to realize that these “dialogs”, “conversations” and “discussions” that liberals want to have with evil dictators just will not work.  Sure… go ahead and try to reason with them.  But if that does not work you cannot just sit on your lazy butt and wait for the U.N. to do something.  You have to take action.  And if we can’t stop Iraq from getting a nuke then perhaps we can cause them to rethink their using a nuke… against any country.

Bottom line is… use a nuke, get obliterated.  Iraq citizens be forewarned.  Get control of your leaders.

But what if she really does mean what she says?  In the end, I really hope that we will not have to find out.
