Not sure how that changes anything? It was as wrong to say then as it would be now. It shows Hillary will continue the war mongering started by her predecessors if elected.

Granted there's some more context to the quote. Is it poor wording on her part? A Freudian slip? Or a direct statement of future plans?

I dunno. Whichever is true... we're still Israel's attack-dog.
Aside from being a total racist statement, what eeeeebil brown people? Iranian's ancestry is European.

They look kinda brown to me. Does that make me a racist?

Can't disagree with you there. She's spent her career doing whatever she reckons is politically expedient- and that included voting for the Iraq war. The gal is center-left at best, and has always been authoritarian.

The way I see it, she's only a very slight improvement over the Republicans. Matter of fact I think Republican would be more her natural inclination... but circumstance pushed her toward political opportunities among the Democrats.

Lotta money to be made in a time of war... I've got plans already in the works. I know one big-headed hillbilly ass-clown who made a small fortune during Bush's wars. If a similar opportunity comes my way, I won't pass it up.

America! **** yeah!
I can teach you, but first you must embrace your inner warmonger and LOVE the Military Industrial Complex. Think of yourself as a small, replaceable, yet critical cog in a vast and glorious War Machine. You are part of the Machine, but just as importantly the Machine is part of you. A few cogs will inevitably be broken along the way, but the War Machine lives on and every remaining cog is maintained and lubed. Some cogs are cast aside when upgrades are required. It's necessary for the good of the Machine. But if you make yourself a sufficiently indispensable cog, deep within the bowels of the War Machine, you can perform your function comfortably and securely while receiving more than adequate lubrication. All this can be yours, but first you must LOVE the War Machine.

Can the War Machine tell if I'm faking it?

Will I break its heart if I leave after a while?

Quite different in that its based on Iran attacking Israel. Of course president after president have said just that. The of course it seems only a excuse to make all that dot connecting and rejoicing on death your crystal ball seems to connect so you can say that. Not even true quote on what she said. I am no Hillary supporter.

Even Rand Paul would attack Iran if they nuked Israel.

Hillary Clinton sticks her finger in the air every day to see which direction the political winds are blowing. She would support attacking Cleveland if that was what the political sentiment of the day was.
