How will Hillary stand against Iran?

Evidently, about as firmly as she does on everything else. Pathetic.

She has said time and again that "no option can be taken off the table," but if a Republican mentions a possible nuclear strike, she is quick to jump and say that we need to exhaust diplomacy. So a military strike, or a potential nuclear strike are not included in her absolute phrase "no option can be taken off the table." Well, anything but that...

Obviously, no one wants a nuclear war. But we are trying to reason with a crazy, hateful country when dealing with Iran. At one point she said, in reference to restoring our international leadership, one of the biggest steps was "understanding that American strength is more than just the show of force." I just don't think that it is in our country's best interests to not acknowledge that anything short of force will save the world from a nuclear Iran.

I know that we are spread thin militarily, and I know that a diplomatic solution would be ideal. Senator Clinton thinks that we should keep on talking, but unfortunately, Iran is not listening. If she were to become President, there would be even less negotiating. While the hypothetical president is deciding whether or not we should use force, or just how much longer we should "talk," or just simply waiting for her to make up her mind on how she feels about Iran, we will probably have already lost much more than our "Works-and-Plays-Well-With-Others" badge in the world playground.

Perhaps we should just let this girl sit on the sidelines, while stronger leaders handle and resolve the disasters we face.
