Town Hall Debate - Israel: If Iran attacked Israel, would...

Question: Senator, as a retired Navy chief, my thoughts are often
with those who serve our country. I know both candidates -- both of
you expressed support for Israel. If, despite your best diplomatic
efforts, Iran attacks Israel, would you be willing to commit U.S.
troops in support and defense of Israel? Or would you wait on
approval from the U.N. Security Council?


SEN. MCCAIN: Well, thank you, Terry, and thank you for your
service to the country.


I want to say, everything I ever learned about leadership I learned
from a chief petty officer. And I thank you. And I thank you, my
friend. Thanks for serving.
Let, let, let me say that we obviously would not wait for the
United Nations Security Council. I think the realities are that both
Russia and China would probably pose significant obstacles. And our
challenge right now is, the Iranians continue on the path to acquiring
nuclear weapons. And it's a great threat.
It's not just a great threat to the state of Israel. It's a
threat to the stability of the entire Middle East. If Iran acquires
nuclear weapons, all the other countries will acquire them too. The
tensions will be ratcheted up.
What would you do if you were the Israelis, and the president of
a country says that they are, they are determined to wipe you off the
map; calls your country a stinking corpse?
Now, Senator Obama, without precondition, wants to sit down and
negotiate with them, without preconditions. That's what he stated,
again, a matter of record.
I want to make sure that the Iranians are put enough -- that we
put enough pressure on the Iranians by joi

what a fucking zionist coon both these guys are

[nilo723]

Ahmadinejad never said anything about 'wiping israel off the map'..it was a blatant lie by our mainstream media to sell another war...

and now nobody gives an explanation and keeps using the same old shit again and again to accuse Iran, a country which has a history of 200 years of not waging a single war of aggression against any nation what-so-ever..

check out ahmadinejad's christmas greetings..

[Pistolero24]

Why would you support a country that has one of the most powerful military machines on the planet and, if it were not enough, the nuclear weapon ?

Sucking Isreal is a national duty it seems...

[elcamaleon1]

You're in such minority. An angry mass of....6+ :D :D Israel support is unanimous. Both in the nation's institutions and in the hearts of the voters, the message is clear, they, as I, side with Israel.

Regards from Sweden.
