You have to admire the macho instincts of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. Asked on the day of the Pennsylvania primary what she would do if Iran made a nuclear attack on Israel, she replied: "If I'm the president, we will attack Iran . . . we would be able to totally obliterate them." And it's perfectly true. The United States has enough nuclear weapons to blast, irradiate, incinerate and obliterate all 75 million people in Iran many times over. All she has to do is press the button.
First she has to win the presidential election, of course, but American voters can rest easy in the knowledge that Clinton would not hesitate to kill tens of millions of people on behalf of their friends in Israel.
What a contrast with wimpy Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who said: "Using words like 'obliterate' — it doesn't actually produce good results." What does he use for a backbone?
