Global Research – by Stephen Lendman
On Friday, presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton addressed a hand-picked audience at a Dartmouth College campaign event. She lied calling Iran an “existential threat to Israel… I hope we are able to get a deal next week that puts a lid on (its) nuclear weapons program.”
Even if we do get such a deal, we will still have major problems from Iran. They are the world’s chief sponsor of terrorism.
They use proxies like Hezbollah to sow discord and create insurgencies to destabilize governments. They are taking more and more control of a number of nations in the region and they pose an existential threat to Israel.
We…have turn our attention to working with our partners to try to reign in and prevent this continuing Iranian aggressiveness.
Fact: US and Israeli intelligence both say Iran’s nuclear program has no military component. No evidence whatever suggests Tehran wants one. Plenty indicates otherwise.
As a 2008 presidential aspirant, she addressed AIPAC’s annual convention saying:
The United States stands with Israel now and forever. We have shared interests….shared ideals….common values. I have a bedrock commitment to Israel’s security.
(O)ur two nations are fighting a shared threat” against Islamic extremism. I strongly support Israel’s right to self-defense (and) believe America should aid in that defense.
I am committed to making sure that Israel maintains a military edge to meet increasing threats. I am deeply concerned about the growing threat in Gaza (and) Hamas’ campaign of terror.
No such campaign exists. The only threats Israel faces are ones it invents.
Clinton repeated tired old lies saying Hamas’ charter “calls for the destruction of Israel. Iran threatens to destroy Israel.”
“I support calling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard what it is: a terrorist organization. It is imperative that we get both tough and smart about dealing with Iran before it is too late.”
She backs “massive retaliation” if Iran attacks Israel, saying at the time:
“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m president, we will attack Iran. In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.”
She endorses using cluster bombs, toxic agents and nuclear weapons in US war theaters. She calls them deterrents that “keep the peace.” She was one of only six Democrat senators opposed to blocking deployment of untested missile defense systems – first-strike weapons entirely for offense.

I like to plays this game , if I was President lol , mandatory of carry a hand gun , all jews go to Israel . ill print money at no interest ! done .
You will get my vote.
She is just about the worst thing ever. clown.
Ok I say if she becomes president , seeing that she wants to go to war with them so ooooo bad,, than put her on the front line at the tip of the spear
report back bitch,how things are going .. put up or shut up
I said the “polls” are RIGGED. I don’t know ONE PERSON voting for either Hillary or Jeb…yet the news liars tell us they’re leading the “polls”. Right. Fix the polls to equal the fixed electronic voting machines, so we’re not SHOCKED.
Ron Paul crushed Mitt Romney in a primary.
Howard Dean crushed John Kerry in a primary.
They rig primaries, too, not just general presidential “elections”.
Yep.
Hillary Clinton: “If I’m President, We Will Attack Iran”
All she is saying I want more “MONEY.”
She might as well just say, “If I am president, I will be known as the ‘Whore of Babylon’ “.
did she just threaten another country?
and people are still wondering why they hate us?
and idiots will put her in the presidency to see when this will take place ..
and they wonder why we have daily threats on our country .. its no mystery to me who the problem is , I cant be the only one smart enough to add these things up … can I?
why are we having our rights questioned when we have shit like this running the show ?… how long do we wait people ? shes in everyones face telling them she wants to go to war with another country and kill more of them, and us off.. when does that country decide its HER ticket that needs punched and not any innocent citizen or country ?
just the fact that she voiced this , should kick her off the podium forever
WE OWN THIS COUNTRY AND ITS DAMED TIME WE PROVE IT!
she should be in a jail cell for a terrorist threat against another country
Actually kind of hoping she wins….
Perhaps this country will then see just how far it’s fallen, and maybe – just maybe – the military will effect a coup rather than die to invade another country all because it doesn’t have a Rothschild Bank.
This woman is one crate short. Good God, update her adult injection requirements for Christ sakes.
“ALL” of these people is a continuation of the insanity. They are all whores and it needs to be fixed.
If Hillary wants war, fine with me. Her daughter can lead the assault, gun in one hand, her daughter in the other. Good luck on winning.
