Clinton says US could "obliterate" Iran
Hillary Clinton has issued a stark warning to Iran, as Democrats in Pennsylvania vote to choose between her and Barack Obama to run for president.
She said the US would attack, and could "obliterate" Iran, if it launched a nuclear strike on Israel. Mrs Clinton has been playing up foreign affairs and leadership as she tries to make up ground in the Democratic race. She leads polls in Pennsylvania, the largest remaining state, but analysts say her hopes depend on a big victory. A Zogby survey released on Tuesday showed Mrs Clinton leading Mr Obama by 10%, while an InsiderAdvantage poll had her 7% ahead.

Re: Clinton says US could "obliterate" Iran
Much as I hate to agree with Clinton, she's right. Wikipedia the following:
B83, W80, W78, W87, W88, W76, Mother of All Bombs, BLU-73, BLU-95, BLU-96, CBU-55, CBU-72, BLU-116, CBU-100 and Paveway.

Re: Clinton says US could "obliterate" Iran
Personally, I think she's making a huge mistake. Threatening retaliatory nuclear genocide against the Persian people sounds too much like something a Republican would say. Also, offering such protection to one of the most controversial countries in the world is very risky for America. I don't think it's going to help her as much as she thinks it will.
These types of pronouncements have started to make me think of that Rihanna song. "You can stand under my [nuclear] umbrella -ella -ella, eh-eh-eh-eh"

Re: Clinton says US could "obliterate" Iran
Whilst Iran may like to posses a nuclear weapon so they gain even the ground on Israel they would never launch one. It is morally wrong and it would result in their own suicide.
I like Mrs Clinton but I think her choice of words was atrocious for a possible political leader. No potential leader should be using the world obliterate unless their name ends in "Hitler". She could have worded it far better e.g. "The U.S would defend Israel completely" "Any strike on Israel would be seen as an attack on the United States". Classy move Hilliary.

I never liked her in the first place. She's fat. Just like her husband.

Re: Clinton says US could "obliterate" Iran
The problem with nuclear weapons is that no country would ever use them, however there are certain groups and people who would, and thats always the problem. I don't see anything wrong with nuclear power (well, no, thats not true. You Yanks seem to have problems disposing of the waste) but nuclear weapons are pretty nasty. I think most people are not educated of nuclear power. One day I was forced to give an impromptu speech to my class on why nuclear power plants could not actually go up in a mushroom cloud, barely anybody knew it, and they all must have thought that a nuclear power plant was similar to plugging some copper cables into an armed warhead
