[Duchess Note – Cynthia McKinney definitely has my support and vote this November in the General Elections. If I voted for the Democrat nominee in November, well, my conscious will not be at ease and I refuse to support corporate imperialism. Greens all the way!]
Clinton Threatens to ‘Obliterate’ Iran

On primary election day in Pennsylvania, even with polls showing her well ahead in that state, Hillary went lower in her grab for votes. Seizing upon a question as to how she would respond to a nuclear attack by Iran, which doesn’t have nuclear weapons, on Israel, which does, Hillary mocked reasoned discourse by promising to “totally obliterate them,” in an apparent reference to the population of Iran. That is not a word gaffe; it is an assertion of the right of our nation to commit genocide on an unprecedented scale. Shouldn’t the potential leader of a nation that used nuclear bombs to obliterate hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese employ extreme caution before making such a threat? Neither the Japanese then nor the Iranian people now were in a position to hold their leaders accountable, and to approve such collective punishment of innocents is to endorse terrorism. This from a candidate who attacked her opponent for suggesting targeted strikes against militants in Pakistan and derided his openness to negotiations with other national leaders as an irresponsible commitment on the part of a contender for the presidency.
[Duchess Note – Insane talk from a person/candidate I’ve never liked nor trusted since the early 1990s. How dare she say such things! Iran and Iraq never had nuclear weapons, whereas the US and Israel have MANY. Iran and Iraq are NOT a threat it’s the other way around.]

That Clinton article jumped out at me as well, it was like whoa, where the hell did that come from? Looks like she's desperate to get some votes. The bloodthirsty voters who like talk of flattening lands and nuking people have their ears pricked up now.

I know, the cow is talking crazy and its abit unsettling. Yes, your right, she is desparate for votes and is showing her roots as a true republican. She never was a real, true Democrat, also neither her nor Obama are liberals or progressives. Far from it. Yeah, there are some sick individuals [ie: voters] out there who are all for nuking innocent folk, just because their culture or religious background is different. Sigh! We're all the same under it all.
