Hillary Clinton - 'Would Obliterate Iran'

As Hillary Clinton continues to try to position herself to the right of Obama in order to lock in her support from blue collar Reagan Democrats, she's come out with some truly shocking phrasing for how she would deal with Iran as president. As Pennsylvanians head to the polls today, this quote may be at the tope of their minds. What impact will it have?

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton threatened to 'obliterate' Iran if it ever launched a nuclear attack on Israel, in an interview broadcast Tuesday.

'I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran.'

'In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them,' Clinton told ABC News, asked what she would do as president were Iran to launch a nuclear attack on Israel.

The comments came just prior to Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary, a key milestone in the marathon Democratic nominations race pitting Clinton against her rival Senator Barack Obama.

I think this about sums up Hillary-Dillary:

Three Arkansas surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed.

One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in Arkansas. In my favorite case, a concert pianist lost seven fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and
8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England."

The second surgeon said. "That's nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident, I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold Medal in track and field events in the Olympics."

The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a woman was high on cocaine and she rode a horse head-on into a train traveling at
80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the woman's blonde hair and the horse's ass. I was able to put them together and now she's running for President."
