Clinton: US might have to confront Iran
By HILARY LEILA KRIEGER WASHINGTON Print Subscribe E-mail Toolbar
Democratic presidential candidate and New York Senator Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that it might be necessary for America to confront Iran Militarily, addressing that possibility more directly than any of the other presidential candidates who spoke this week to the National Jewish Democratic Council.
Clinton first said that the US should be engaging directly with Iran to foil any effort to gain nuclear weapons and faulted the Bush administration for "considerably narrowing" the options available to America in countering Iran.
Iran: We'll strike Israel and US targets if attacked

Other candidates who addressed the NJDC only went as far as saying that "no option should be taken off the table" when it came to thwarting Iran's nuclear ambitions. All of the major Democratic presidential contenders appeared at the three-day conference, but Clinton received the most time and applause. She hit on the importance of the US-Israel relationship and the need to recover the three Israeli soldiers kidnapped last summer by Hamas and Hizbullah, but she devoted most of her address to domestic issues popular with Jewish Democrats, such as education, healthcare and the separation of church and state.
She also told the crowd in response to an audience question that her husband would serve as an international envoy to rebuild goodwill for Americans around the world if she were elected.
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who spoke after Clinton, also suggested that he would use a famous former statesman as an envoy in his administration. In Richardson's case, he was proposing former secretary of state James Baker to serve as a permanent Middle East envoy, a position Richardson would revive should he win the presidency. Baker is a Republican who served under former president George H. W. Bush.
"There has to be bipartisanship in our foreign policy," Richardson told the press.
He also said economic and military aid to Israel should be increased, and that "the cornerstone of my foreign policy in the Middle East would be a strong relationship with Israel." http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1177514487245&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
I am starting to seriously consider voting for this women. She could be RUTHLESS.
She could prosecute the WOT in a more vigorous way then most of the PUSSY Republicans. ( bombed Kosovo without even messing with the UN.)
She could carpet bomb Iran, and the MSM would ignore any collateral damage. (media would say how ‘tough’ and ‘effective’ she was.)

When you attend a funeral, It is sad to think that sooner or Later those you love will do the same for you. And you may have thought it tragic, Not to mention other adjec- Tives, to think of all the weeping they will do. But don't you worry. No more ashes, no more sackcloth. And an armband made of black cloth Will some day never more adorn a sleeve. For if the bomb that drops on you Gets your friends and neighbors too, There'll be nobody left behind to grieve.
And we will all go together when we go. What a comforting fact that is to know. Universal bereavement, An inspiring achievement, Yes, we all will go together when we go.
No matter who wins the next presidential election, I'm fairly confident we're fucked.
-------------------- So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.

This is not surprising. It is interesting how varied the paths are for each of these Democratic candidates. There is such a broad range of ideals present within each. I do not personally care for Obama, as he doesn't seem to have any ideas. What the fuck is he up to?
I don't understand Hillary's interest in Iran. Hillary Clinton doesn't represent the idea of what the American people are looking for in government, evidenced by the way they voted in the last election. I know that they are looking for someone like Dennis Kucinich, but the entire way our media is set up and the way the political structure is now, he doesn't get the same chances. He's definitely got a lot ahead of him and a lot going for him, though.

How do you know that voters are looking for someone with beliefs like Kucinich's?
