HEY!!! Hillary's "Security Umbrella" is the issue
Advertisements [?]
What the hell is she saying and why are Democrats buying into the bullshit that she won the debate with this beligerent saber rattling garbage. She is not going to get us out of Iraq or change anything in the ME and these remarks make it crystal clear. Why can Democrats not hear her? Do you think it's a good idea to pit ME countries against each other, with US in the middle of it??

"You can't go to the Saudis or the Kuwaitis or UAE and others who have a legitimate concern about Iran and say: Well, don't acquire these weapons to defend yourself unless you're also willing to say we will provide a deterrent backup and we will let the Iranians know that, yes, an attack on Israel would trigger massive retaliation, but so would an attack on those countries that are willing to go under this security umbrella and forswear their own nuclear ambitions...

Therefore we have got to have this process that reaches out, beyond even who we would put under the security umbrella, to get the rest of the world on our side to try to impose the kind of sanctions and diplomatic efforts that might prevent this from occurring."
