No nukes for you, 1 year!
Hillary Clinton came out swinging today on Meet the Press, claiming that the US will never allow Iran to have Nukes. Clinton boldly told Iran:
“What we want to do is to send a message to whoever is making these decisions, that if you’re pursuing nuclear weapons for the purpose of intimidating, of projecting your power, we’re not going to let that happen,” Clinton said.
“First, we’re going to do everything we can to prevent you from ever getting a nuclear weapon. But your pursuit is futile, because we will never let Iran — nuclear-armed, not nuclear-armed — it is something that we view with great concern, and that’s why we’re doing everything we can to prevent that from ever happening. … We believe, as a matter of policy, it is unacceptable for Iran to have nuclear weapons.”
Those are pretty strong words from someone who has been pretty muzzled by Obama. I have to wonder if Obama is on board with this sentiment. Obama has hedged around this topic for months now, for Hillary to come out and basically say it ain’t gonna happen has to have the the Dear Leader upset. The key question here is, what, if anything, will the administration do to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons? We’ve seen intelligence reports just this week suggesting that Iran is about 6 months away from having their first nuke. So, will the Obama administration put it’s money where it’s mouth is? Will we allow the Israelis to take military action against Iran to take out their nuclear production centers? Will we engage in military action ourselves to prevent this from happening?
