Did you think Hillary's annihilation of Iran comment was just an attempt to prove her toughness, or an insight into her foreign policy about Israel and the ME? I think it's a good policy. Shame she's backing off from it.

Did you think Hillary's annihilation of Iran comment was just an attempt to prove her toughness, or an insight into her foreign policy about Israel and the ME? Probably both and neither. I saw it rather as all about the Jewish vote. Upping the ante to get the very last vote there. I'm convinced the Clintons are throwing caution to the wind, saying whatever they thinks will work, and then, telling themselves, they will worry about the consequences down the road. So the Iran comment is finally not about anything but politics. Well, it does fit with her vote on the Kyl/Lieberman amendment and her foreign policy advisers are, as a group, more hawkish than Obama's, even less multilateral than Obama's. Much of the same old folk. So, perhaps it's a hint.
