Obama on Clinton's Bushian Cowboy Diplomacy

[cajayson8301]

and Obama has NOT stepped off it...he is still very hawkish. Hillary is quite less hawkish than him

Obama did not say he would wipe Pakistan off the face of the earth.

Ms. Hilary Clinton-Bush as much promise to do this to Iran.

Ok, when Obama says in this very video that he would respond 2 a any attack on Israel, nuclear or otherwise, and said he would respond to a hypothetical nuclear attack launched by Iran on Israel, then he is advocating the exact same policy. The problem is just the language of "obliterate" that she said in the interview, wheras in debate she said "retaliate". It was just the explicitness of the language that was critised. They both advocate same retaiation attack as DETTERENRT, not Bush PREMTION.

The difference between "obliterate" and "responding forcefully and APPROPRIATLY" is not small.

Why not also threaten Iran with using their children to run our cars, technology these days...

[cajayson8301]

and she said "we WOULD BE ABLE to totally obliterate them"...it's not like she endorsed actually doing obliterating but warning the nation of what we are capable of and unfortunately, right now, Obama still has a heavy trigger finger on Iran...Hillary does not. She seemed to step down on this rhetoric but he STEPPED UP! Not good!

If Iraq attacked NYC on 911, as was implied by Bush, would Prez Hillary have nuked them? Would she push the red button first then read the intelligence report later?

In this video Obama just said the same approach in responding to ANY nuclear attack on Israel nuclear or otherwise.Hillary only responded 2 hypothetical situation of an explicit nuclear attack which would cause a retaiation, & Obama said in a debate that he would also respond. They have the same approach but Hillary's words r more explicit. It's the interview where she used the language "obliterate" as oppossed 2 "retaliate" that caused a stir. But both said same DETTERENT policy 2 nuke attack.

Obama has equally made careless comments on Pakistan which set off riots in Pakistan with people burning the American flag, and world headlines and members of the Pakistan government complaing that he said he would attack terroists in Pakistan unilaterall with or without consent of Pakistan if he had actionable intteligence. That was wreckless & dumb as Pakistan is a soverign nation & a US ally & yuo don't just have a US war on their soil without their consent.

[shonester]

I know! What a joke Barack is to even criticize Hillary after the comments he made to invade Pakistan. At least she threatens our enemy and not our ally like Barack did.

[cajayson8301]

Totally agree. As you can see nowadays, Obama is not really that much different than Bush and McCain's plans when it comes to foreign affairs. I fear what he will do with Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Even my Congressman, who endorsed him, wants no part of a U.S. war with anymore nations, not even Afghanistan. We cannot accomplish our goals there through military strikes...let diplomacy be forefront, especially with Hillary as Secretary of State. Since this, she has stepped off the tough talk
