AIPAC Hillary calls Iran "THE ENEMY" in radio show call-in appearance...

Dem presidential primary front-runner Senator Hillary Clinton declares Iran to be an "ENEMY" today in a call-in to the Ed Schultz radio show..

The Big Ed Schultz radio show has just posted the audio file (mp3) of Hillary's call-in to the talk show. Just after the end of a droning 5 minute monologue (starting at 8:35 into the audio), Hillary answers Ed's question about Iran's threats (to respond globally to any US bombing attacks on Iran) by saying that "they are a dangerous ENEMY."

Once again, we advise Senator Clinton (Hillary) to PAY A LITTLE LESS ATTENTION to her AIPAC lobbyists; people who take BILLIONS in US military and defense funds sent to Israel, and BRING THEM BACK TO AMERICA as politics-CORRUPTING CAMPAIGN DONATIONS.

New York Times AIPAC neo-con Brown-Shirt editorial thug (and former Nixon speechwriter and Nixon imperial presidency and crimes apologist) WILLIAM SAFIRE once wrote (in his Times column) that it was "BEYOND THE PALE" that Vice President Al Gore accepted some lousy $2,000-$12,000 contributions from a Buddhist temple or Chinese-American company on behalf of the 1996 Clinton-Gore re-election campaign - because, Safire maintained, "IT IS BEYOND THE PALE that foreign governments try to influence American elections." Safire's more infamous comment was the promise - never born out - that "INDICTMENTS [against the Clintons] WILL BE HANDED DOWN LATER THIS WEEK." Safire's most infamous comment "Hillary is a CONGENITAL LIAR," was given EXACTLY THAT headline by Safire's fellow neo-con THUG editors at the Times - an undoubted low for American press and journalistic standards set by the self-proclaimed "paper of record."

The same paper, we note, that bends over backwards to downplay the illegal "OUTING" of an undercover CIA agent by the Vice President's office in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq (in 2003, i.e. the perjury trial of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who in 2003 was Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff), or the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Feith efforts to distort CIA, NSA, DIA, and other US agencies' intel about Iraq's NON-EXISTENT WMD program.

But it is clear that AIPAC's ISRAEL CAMPAIGN DONATION kicbacks $$$ FLOOD American politics with MILLIONS of dollars - most of which get ZERO oversight or public scrutiny, due to a thin whitewash of "Jewish-AMERICAN voters" respectability that deters all inspection.

Ironically, Hillary seems to be suffering from the STOCKHOLM SYNDROME: having been beaten up by the NEW YORK TIMES and other neo-con, right-wing Republican media organizations over the past decade (despite the Times' MISLEADING reputation as a "Librul" paper), Hillary now EMBRACES their agenda and POV (point of view), especially regarding the increasingly imperialist, colonial empire, unlimited war-powers of the Bush White House - up to and including TORTURE, no-oversight DEATH SQUADS, billions in slush funds and "missing" treasury payments, and presidential war powers overseen by no one - and certainly not Hillary Clinton or her equally lame Democratic Senate colleagues.

We will bet that Hillary gets a substantial portion of her MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR war chest DIRECTLY FROM AIPAC fundraisers - and millions more from AIPAC-affiliated fundraisers, including such corporate defense titans as LOCKHEED-MARTIN, General Dynamics, and Boeing corporation, all of whom earn billions in sales and millions in profits shipping US government funded military equipment directly to Israel.

Here's a news-flash for Hillary Clinton: the United States of America is now, FIGHTING TWO WARS ON IRAN's BORDERS (in Afghanistan and Iraq) as we speak; and besides ABU GHRAIB (torture) and Iraqi Army DEATH SQUADS, the United States of America also employs DEPLETED URANIUM munitions in its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; what would constitute a "WAR CRIME" by the standards of Geneva Conventions definitions. So if Iran publicly warns America NOT to launch a huge bombing attack on their country - who can blame them?
Much less America using the DEPLETED URANIUM and/or TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS that America's insane neo-cons lust after.

The PROPER WAY to prevent Iran from GOING NUCLEAR -as INDIA, PAKISTAN, and ISRAEL ALREADY HAVE, and as SAUDI ARABIA seeks to - is to go through INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION agencies, the treaties that the Republican Congress, Senators, and administrations HAVE BEEN SABOTAGING for DECADES - with Hillary's quiescent, AIPAC-funded COMPLICITY.

Speaking of which, when even uber Right-Wing Republican "Pray every day to drown the US government in a bathtub" icon GROVER NORQUIST is AGAINST the AIPAC neo-con fantasy of BOMBING IRAN back to the pre-stone age, but Hillary already considers Iran "TO BE AN ENEMY" - you have to wonder which party Hillary is in - the Democrats or the Republican-Liebercrats!

We will post some transcripts from the audio (mp3) link to Hillary's comments later, but as of right now, it is quite clear that Senator Hillary Clinton falls FAR SHORT of former President Bill Clinton's skill at cutting through the fog of international affairs, and her over-long monologue serves as an excellent, textbook exposition of a politician using a lot of words to say very little - except, that is, for her IMPLIED SUPPORT for an ILLEGAL ATTACK on IRAN, OUTSIDE of international law, UN justification, or even a clear and present DEBATE about presidential USURPING of Congressional war powers the US Congress & Senate before launching YET ANOTHER WAR in the Mideast.

Hillary & DEM leader Steny Hoyer agree - with Cheney & Bush! "The Military Option is ON THE TABLE" for MORE WAR... vs IRAN!

"A REAL HYSTERIA GROWING IN WASHINGTON DC over the COMING WAR WITH IRAN" - A hysteria ENABLED by "Democratic" Senators like Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, and House 2nd in command Congressman Steny Hoyer!
Joe Scarborogh at 4:41 into this 7 minute video from the MSNBC Scarborough Show



Pat Buchanan, the slightly daft former Republican presidential candidate (who, like so many Irish-Americans, has held that the United States should NOT have demanded 'unconditional surrender" in the war against Nazi Germany), does have a couple of pearls of wisdom in this MSNBC Joe Scarborough show video:

"They have not got an atomic bomb... the Iranians don't, and we have no hard evidence that they are even making real progress towards it. But there's no doubt Joe, the amount of talk, the actions being taken in Washington, with the talk coming out of that Herzliya conference in ISRAEL, where ROMNEY said the military option IS ON THE TABLE,

YOU'VE GOT DEMOCRATS LIKE STENY HOYER SAYING THE MILITARY OPTION is _ON THE TABLE_, you've got a REAL SORT OF HYSTERIA BUILDING, over there and you read the Prime Minister of Israel talking about annhilation and another holocaust, and we've got a right to act preemptively to stop this, and so there's a real hysteria building . Now Bush does not have in place yet the kind of airpower for a "SHOCK AND AWE" attack to take out all of Iran's nuclear facilities, they've got a lot of them, and they're spread all over the place, and right in populated areas; but there's not doubt, the rhetoric is similar to the rhetoric in.... 2002, and the lead-up to the war... in Iraq, and frankly Joe, the CONGRESS of the United States FAILED TO STOP THE LAST WAR, which was an UNNECCESSARY WAR, and they ought to, after these resolutions are passed, take up the questions of whether the president's got the authority to take this country into a THIRD WAR in the Middle East.
(Buchanan's above comments start at about 3:14 into the video)

The Lieberman/Biden/Hillary/Steny Hoyer Democrats of the US Senate (Hoyer is a House senior Democrat) - having completely FAILED to do their duty to investigate the atrocious excuses ("lies-to-war") the Bush administration used to justify the illegal invasion, conquest and war of a nation that could not attack its larger neighbors (Iraq is surrounded by the larger and more powerful Turkey and Iranian) (such EXCUSES including "yellowcake uranium ore for Iraq's WMD program!" and "aluminum centrifuges for uranium enrichment".... both of which were EASILY PROVED to be FALSE, FABRICATED stories), the AIPAC Senators are now REPEATING THEIR GROSS FAILURES of 2002-2003.....

......GIVING PRESIDENT BUSH moral SUPPORT and/or political AUTHORIZATION to launch a NEW WAR AGAINST IRAN.

The Jewish AIPAC lobby, we have seen, is _THE_ MOST POWERFUL INFLUENCE on the Democratic Senate Caucus - the Democratic Senate has been HIJACKED BY THE ISRAEL LOBBY, using, in typical Rethuglican fashion, BILLIONS of US taxpayer dollars shipped to Israel (as aid to that country) COMING BACK to America as KICKBACKS and CAMPAIGN DONATIONS for the AIPAC Senators... who are now HELPING George W. Bush UNDERMINE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY and the US Constitution, with MORE HYSTERICAL TALK about ANOTHER ILLEGAL WAR, this one against Iran.

The AIPAC SENATORS, including Hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman, are now unabashedly JOINING with the Bush-Bolton-Cheney White House in drumming up MORE WAR HYSTERIA, that will (after the inevitable Muslim reaction to bombing yet another Muslim nation) RESULT IN MORE DRACONIAN WAR POWERS to the president who not only STOLE both of his US election 'wins,' but now treats the entire US military as toy soldiers for his regime of "Party politics over the security and good name of the United States of America."

Hillary speaks! "Iran IS A THREAT!" hmmm.. Hillary not NEARLY as concerned with Mr. Bush's constitution-trashing, budget-busting, warmongering....

Truth be told, it is a real contest: WHO is MORE IN FAVOR of Mr. Bush's war on the US Constitution, Third-Reich war powers, and Napoleonic complex: Hillary Clinton or Joe Lieberman?

New York Sen. Clinton says Iran a threat

NEW YORK -- Calling Iran a danger to the U.S. and one of Israel's greatest threats, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said "no option can be taken off the table" when dealing with that nation.

But Clinton, a top 2008 Democratic presidential contender, also called for a dialogue with countries hostile to Israel - including Iran and Syria - as a way to promote peace in the Middle East.

"I have advocated engagement with our enemies and Israel's enemies," Clinton told a crowd of Israel supporters on Thursday. "I believe we can gain valuable knowledge and leverage from being part of a process again that enables us to get a better idea of how to take on and defeat our adversaries."

Clinton, D-N.Y., spoke at a Manhattan dinner held by the nation's largest pro-Israel lobbying group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

"U.S. policy must be clear and unequivocal: We cannot, we should not, we must not permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons," Clinton told the audience. "In dealing with this threat ... no option can be taken off the table."

Some 1,700 attendees applauded as she cited her efforts on behalf of the Jewish state and spoke scathingly of Iran's decision to hold a conference last month that questioned whether the Holocaust took place.

"To deny the Holocaust places Iran's leadership in company with the most despicable bigots and historical revisionists," Clinton said, criticizing what she called the Iranian administration's "pro-terrorist, anti-American, anti-Israeli rhetoric."

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called the Holocaust a "myth" and said Israel should be "wiped off the map" and its Jews returned to Europe.

Iran insists its nuclear program is designed to produce energy, not weapons. Ahmadinejad said Thursday that his government is determined to continue with its nuclear program, despite U.N. Security Council sanctions imposed over its refusal to halt uranium enrichment, a process that can produce fuel to generate electricity or for the fissile core of an atomic bomb.

Clinton called for dialogue with foes of the United States, saying Iran "uses its influence and its revenues in the region to support terrorist elements."

"We need to use every tool at our disposal, including diplomatic and economic in addition to the threat and use of military force," she said.
