Hillary Clinton celebrates Earth Day
In attempting to prove she’s more of a nutcase than John McCain—an epic effort, if questionable—Hillary Clinton took the bold move of declaring her support for more nuclear war:
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton warned Tehran on Tuesday that if she were president, the United States could “totally obliterate” Iran in retaliation for a nuclear strike against Israel.
Seriously, do you really think this is a good choice? Never mind our ham-fisted subservience to Israeli governmental interests1, but to out-and-out say that you’re prepared to kill as many as 65 million people in response is quite a bold statement.
I want bold leadership, but I don’t want more stupid cowboy leadership of the past 8 years, and that’s exactly what this sort of thing implies. Either she’s nuts, or willing to toss off the murder of innocent civilians to get a few votes. Neither is a particularly desirable thing.

I’ve never been able to “respect” Hillary. She’s been flying on her husband’s mired coattail for such a long time now, she’s merely a tangled web of matter.
Chris, as you know I’m an Israeli and American dual national.
I think you hit the nail exactly on the head: ‘Governmental Interests’. That is sharply distinct from Israeli ‘national’ interest, which isn’t actually very well served by AIPAC’s lobbying.

What else can you expect from “Billary”? I lost respect for her since the time she started the negative ad attacks. I wished John Edwards is back. Oh well…
