Since you refuse to read the "evidence" you specifically requested, and which I provided, and since you write and think like a child, I think it's safe to say that there's no point in any of your posts being taken seriously.

Good night.

I wonder if our Secretary of State is an expert on Foreign Policy?
"I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran," Clinton said.

"In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

Later, Clinton told reporters at a polling station in Conshohocken, outside Philadelphia, that Iran must be made aware of the "high price" it would have to pay for any nuclear strike.

Not really. He actually gets his info from foreign policy experts. It's not his job to be a foreign policy expert.

Why don't you just admit no foreign policy experts think Iran will attack Israel????

Instead of googling the internet for some kooky neocon tall tale???

The point you were trying to make might have been best made by the following link and not by being confrontational with Moving Forward.
American Foreign Policy Project
Myth # 5. Iran has declared its intention to attack Israel in order to "wipe Israel off the map."

This claim is based largely on a speech by President Ahmadinejad on Oct. 26, 2005, quoting a remark by Ayatollah Khomeini made decades ago: "This regime that is occupying Qods [Jerusalem] must be wiped off/eliminated from the pages of history/our times." Both before and since, Ahmadinejad has made numerous other, offensive, insulting and threatening remarks about Israel and other nations - most notably his indefensible denial of the Holocaust.

However, he has been criticized within Iran for these remarks. Supreme Leader Khamenei himself has "clarified" that "the Islamic Republic has never threatened and will never threaten any country" and specifically that Iran will not attack Israel unless Iran is attacked first. Ahmadinejad also has made clear, or been forced to clarify, that he was referring to regime change through demographics (giving the Palestinians a vote in a unitary state), not war.
