Has George W. Bush ever said he would nuke a country into oblivion?

How's about Ronald Reagan or John McCain?

Anybody know?

...but he was joking around, and didn't realize the mic was on.

John McCain did say bomb bomb bomb Iran though.

as I heard Dem and Rep strategists say. Funny, for once they agreed on something, imagine that?

All American Presidents adhered to the policy of Mutually Assured Destruction during the Cold War. We had international ballistic missiles targeting every major population center inside the Soviet Union with the literal intention of obliterating the Soviet Union if they ever used nuclear weapons against us or our allies first. The only threat against Iran expressed was if they nuked Israel first.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone....

The OP asked about Bush. Bush initiated military aggression when aggression wasn't needed, when no one claimed Iraq even had nukes let alone had already used one on another nation. So I think pointing out that Bush failed to use a certain word in a mere verbal threat is stupid on the face of it.

I thought you were endorsing it...my apologies.

In fact the intelligence briefing showed that they are years away from having them.

Hillary's fierce words are typical Hillary. She has to look macho, lest she be viewed weak. This is why Hillary voted for IWR. That is why Hillary voted for Kyl-Lieberman. That is why she, like her buddy McCain, pooh-poohed the idea of talking with our enemies. ANd it is why she uses language that goes way beyond what the Republicans even use, obliterating Iran.

Hillary Clinton is the most likely candidate, republican or democrat, to lead us into an unnecessary war in my view. Because she has this need to look macho. I don't think she has it in her to pass on the opportunity to wage war. I am thankful she was not in charge during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

when another nation uses nuclear weapons first against America or an ally. That has always been the case. What do you think the words "assured destruction" meant during the cold war?

...needs to be willing to go to the unthinkable.

You can't put the genie back in the bottle.

You'd think she'd made the comment she prefers hot dogs to hamburgers at a picnic. Silence. The talking heads can't stop their Rev. Wright chatter long enough to even mention it.

all of a sudden deafening silence-appalling and shameful.
