Hillary Mans Up - Liberals Appalled

To me, it was as when she claimed that she had tried to join the Marines, but liberals took it seriously when Hillary announced that she would "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel.

AMERICANS have learned to take with a grain of salt much of the rhetoric in a campaign like the current Democratic donnybrook between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Still, there are some red lines that should never be crossed. Clinton did so Tuesday morning, the day of the Pennsylvania primary, when she told ABC's "Good Morning America" that, if she were president, she would "totally obliterate" Iran if Iran attacked Israel.

This foolish and dangerous threat was muted in domestic media coverage. But it reverberated in headlines around the world.

Just once, I would like to see a Democrat stand up, even rhetorically, against America's enemies, instead of embracing endorsements from Hamas, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, FARC and Hugo Chavez, as Obama has.
