How Does Hillary's Stance On Iran Differ From McCain's?
I know that Obama favors some level of engagement, while McCain is pushing a no diplomacy approach. What is Hillary's approach? I know that she disagrees with Obama's pro-diplomacy/meet without pre-conditions approach as weak. How would Clinton supporters distinguish Hillary's approach from McCain?

1. McCain will bomb Iran, while Hillary will use nukes.
Guess which one will be guilty of genocide?

6. you left a very important part of the equation out:
She would use nukes if Iran nukes Israel. Just a little detail worth remembering.

9. She told AIPAC in 2007 that she would use a nuclear first strike against Iran
That's trumping what Truman did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

12. Ah, that's one of those things
that sounds so implausible, I'm just going to presume it's a lie.

Are you talking about her saying "all options are on the table"? Cuz that's an entirely different statement.

8. Minor correction, Hillary would "humanely" nuke Iran.
McCain would bomb Iran to protect "national security".

4. I Thought Obama Said 18 Months and McCain Said 2013...
Edited on Mon May-19-08 10:32 PM by Median Democrat
For Iraq, but that McCain also said that he did not want timetable, before offering the 2013 timetable. Is that Hillary's stance?

As for Iran, what is Hillary's stand, or is your answer assuming that Bush invades before the end of his Presidency?

5. She made it clear in the debate that the usual preconditions will be in place (back channel

communications, then Secretary of State visits, certain commitments and goals having been met, etc. prior to actual personal meetings between the heads of state) but is committed to leaving the door open to such top level meetings. McSame calls any such meetings "appeasement". He just wants to rattle the Pentagon's swords over and over and over again.
