Did Hillary say she would commit troops in any middle east situation?
That sounds like a pretty damn scary statement, not to mention expensive.

1. Yes she did! I am telling you she is
sounding more and more like Joe Lieberman.

That is not a Democratic view, to get involved "Any" Middle East situation.

2. That is what I heard, too.
Why didn't that get more scrutiny today?

Subtle difference, I agree.

10. Gosh a one word retort.
Go ahead, spin this quote:

Well, in fact, George, I think that we should be looking to create an umbrella of deterrence that goes much further than just Israel. Of course, I would make it clear to the Iranians that an attack on Israel would incur massive retaliation from the United States.

But I would do the same with other countries in the region. We are at a very dangerous point with Iran.


You have to do better than "wrong"

As I have demonstrated using Clinton's own words I am right.

You related to rodeodance? You have the same debate style--fingers in ears and singing loudly o avoid the reality that is.

11. See #7.
That's one word, a number, and a dingbat, more than your post is worth.

Your explainaqtion in post 7 parses why I was right, not why I was wrong.

Thanks for the retraction and assumed apology.

7. She's proposing a new version of CENTO a/k/a the Baghdad Pact.
"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..."

5. Not exactly
Bur she went to the right of McCain.

It was a weird answer that made his "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" song seem like a slow dance.
