She is absolutely right. We need a President who has the guts to standup to bullies and the humanitarianism to protect the peace. So many of us are ignorant about what really goes on in the Middle East and how many countries we currently have bases in there. We are welcome in much of the Middle East like Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Isreal, Pakistan, etc. We have bases in some of them with peacekeeping forces in nearby areas as well. We need to listen to the military leaders who support her as well as those on the ground and follow a responsible plan for safe withdrawal from Iraq, a redeployment in Afghanistan and possibly Pakistan (with cooperation) to find OBL, and we need to maintain our position of support for our Allies and prevent the proliferation of WMDs that can enter the hands of non-state entities like Hamas and other terrorists. Clinton continues to show her strength and command of the issues.

Here's something you Democrat Primary
voters in North Carolina and Indiana
need to think about since a majortiy of you want to end our involvement in Iraq and bring our troops home:
Clinton has spoke out recently on the need to extend America's nuclear deterrent to other countries in the middle east. When asked who would fall under that "nuclear umbrella", Clinton explained "the theory that I'm putting forth is, we have to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. We have to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons throughout the region, because I'm not so concerned about them falling into the hands of states, which is bad enough, as I am about falling into the hands of terrorists."

In other words Hillary Clinton would
commit us to defending Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait, The United Arab Emerates, etc!
This dumb idea would lead to spreading our forces and equipment way too thin and be a total disaster!

Iran is shaking in their boots...from laughing so hard, what an idiot, she's 60 years old and needs to grow up...

"Clinton also responded to criticism that her comments would undermine Iranians seeking democracy and an alliance with the United States. 'The experts I consult with don't say that,' she explained."

Are these the same experts you consulted about your plan for a gas tax holiday? You know, the experts on political pandering?

And if Iran attacks Israel, what will Obama do? Diplomacy, sanctions, or will he politely ask them to PLEAAAASE STOP IT? We don't need a wimp in the White House.

Maybe Hillary is looking for Bush's endorsement?

Bush has a great record for not listening to the experts and we know where that got us.

Any form of nuclear sabre rattling - as a hypothetical case to get votes is as nutty and dangerous as it gets.
Please do consider your future carefully before voting for Clinton.
Fallout goes a long way and ruins much more than the target - even Harrisville accident damaged other countries.

More saber rattling. This woman is pulling out all the stops because she knows she will loose. At least my man Ron Paul lost with dignity and truth. This woman is dangerous much like McCain.

And your alternative is?

Seems to me a nuclear detonation endangers the planet not just ground zero.

Well I do not think that the Middle East region and it's people, Israel included, could in fact sustain two atomic explosions.

Goes back to the make glass out of the Middle East argument. Thoughtless and provocative.

why is Israel allowed to have nuclear weapons?

All things considered, it does not seem that Obama is very forceful. But none of the three candidates is perfect, none of them. So, once again, we will be voting for the lessor evil from our own individual perspective. May the best person for the country, not a political party, win the Office of POTUS.

nodevilsplease - I am a Paul supporter, but everything you have said is right on. Out of the top candidates, I hope Obama pulls it out.

I guess Obama would probably be okay if Iran made a nuclear attack against Isarel. After all, his church published the Hamas Manifesto calling for the end of Isarel in their church newsletter, and Hamas supports Obama for President. Not defending Isarel would be a no-brainer for Obama.

Does anyone really think it's okay for Iran to make a nuclear attack against an ally of the USA without expecting massive retaliation?

if iran attacked isreal they should be obliterated.... it is a fair warning... the idiot president

of iran has threatened isreal and the US with nuclear weapons...

So on the one hand, she claims she's the candidate that will pull us out of Iraq (you know, the war she voted to authorize). And on the other hand, she promises to obliterate other countries by dropping nuclear weapons on their civilian populations.

What to believe? The saber-rattling or the promises to end the war in Iraq?

I'm very confused. But she mentioned NASCAR several times in one of her speeches earlier today, so she's got my vote.

I just don't see where Clinton has received any national support for the statements she has made recently.

She seems a little out of touch with reality at this point.

The term is called deterrence. It works along with negotiations. It scares me that Obama wouldn't stand up for countries against a nuclear weapon with deterrence. The United States has been using it for years. Kennedy used deterrence, Nixon used it, Reagan used it, Carter used it, Bush Sr. used it, Clinton used it, Bush Jr. used it. So now the only person that wouldn't use deterrence is Obama...That is scary.

What she has said is in the best interest of Israel and our country, she's simply acting presidential in my opinion. She's showing she will not play paddy cake with anyone like Obama would. I'd like to hear Obama say anything he's for or against clearly stated like she has done. He can't that is shown by all the debates they've had so far. When she is asked a question about something, she clearly states how and why and in detail what she would do. Then Obama would say I agree with Hillary on this issue blah blah blah and then he's praised by his cult following. Are people just blind and deaf to him? Another thing is I can't see why any of the Obama cult followers don't see that the Rev. Wright press club and Obama denouncing him the next day was a complete setup by Wright and Obama. I mean, where is Wright now? If he was this radical person that speaks his mind whenever he pleases, where is he now speaking out about what Obama said about him? He's not coming back out he did what Obama paid him to do. Why don't the Obama cult followers see this?

If we extend our nuclear umbrella over our allies in the middle east, Russia and China will respond likewise. Where is this stupid woman taking us?
