Does Clinton hope conflict with Iran will sway Super-D's to her?

[crankychatter]

This is a completely feasable scenario. She has postured in a most Hawk-like fashion, as we all know. She has tried to tie Obama to Hamas, the anti-Semitic Farrakhan and sixties "Terrorism."

Hezbollah, supported by Iran, is again in conflict with the Lebanese government, posing a Security challenge to Israel. People in the Gaza Strip, are being denied water, fuel, food and medical supplies, because of Hamas' activities there.

It is not just rumor and blind speculation that causes many journalists, pundits and analysts to suggest that conflict with Iran is an immediate possibility. Testimony from senior Military before the Senate, posit justification for "strategic, precision" strikes inside Iran, citing logistical and training support for Shia Militia.

Clinton's bellicosity has been extravagant and inexplicable; mysterious. Is this the explanation? Is she gambling that conflict is imminent, that the MSM will favor the hostility and frame her as prescient and wise?

Forget speculation that she is jockeying for a 2012 candidacy. Forget Florida and Michigan; and the May 31 Committee decision. Forget pushing toward a brokered convention. Forget ALL of that.

If we cross the Iranian border, with air strikes at training facilities near Tehran... civilian casualties will be huge (the area is densely populated). Iran will not stand idly by and permit this. The International Community will speak out loudly and clearly.

Is this Clinton's "Ace in the Hole?"

1. Do We Have SD's That Favor A War With Iran?

If so, we really need to clean house.

[crankychatter]

3. We have SD's dependent on War Profiteering PACs for campaigns

Yes

Why have our Dems been complicit in the Iraq War?

It's not just political maneuvering or deception from the Administration

Their complicity is in direct proportion to their dependence on PAC money from MIC lobbies

we need to clean house

6. True. I Know One Of Mine Fits That Category

And Feinstein will never get another vote from me.

8. I haven't loved her since she delayed shutting down the Sutro Bath House

<<< chicken souper

[Avalux]

2. Why, because she'd be tougher than Obama? That's a GOP argument, won't work. n/t

[crankychatter]

4. it's not a GOP argument anymore... you listen to Clinton?

yup

[Avalux]

5. So it's a GOP and Clinton argument then.

It will not sway the SDs to vote for her.

[crankychatter]

7. I think it won't work either, honestly BUT

I think THEY think, the American people will fall for it... that it could be a public justification for overturning the popular and delegate vote.

[Avalux]

9. Democrats who have been beaten over the head with the fear tactic from Bushco for 8 years?

NO. We don't want a candidate who is so much like Bush.

10. She can almost taste the blood of those 70 million.

[crankychatter]

11. someone said "forewarned is forearmed"

14. good post blm - I personally believe McCain's health will become a big issue

15. I wouldn't be surprised if hilary thinks

dead bodies could help. I saw rumors around that said "some people" think bush will bomb Iran before Summer.

That could be why she got that vote in there..she knew backroom deals were cookin'..I put nothing past that freakshow.

[blm]

16. exactly what I thought when she voted YES for that Iran war. She KNEW it because Bush-Clinton

have been working towards it for many years.

[Cha]

17. And like the dutiful little mole

she voted for it..hope it comes back to bite her like everything else she's so slavishly done to further her "career".

Jeeze, it's no wonder she won't stop..they had the whole world riding on this..and I guess we can thank unca mark for being so ignorant of the rules and, of course, Obama.
