1. Hillary Says Use of Force May be Necessary Against Iran

Democratic presidential candidate and New York Senator Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that it might be necessary for America to confront Iran militarily, addressing that possibility more directly than any of the other presidential candidates who spoke this week to the National Jewish Democratic Council.


Clinton first said that the US should be engaging directly with Iran to foil any effort to gain nuclear weapons and faulted the Bush administration for "considerably narrowing" the options available to America in countering Iran

4. I think we should just let them do whatever they want with no consequences.

Let's just appease them, and see what happens. Jesus Christ--they're not our FRIENDS! And other countries have joined us in sanctions, they're not unilateral.
