HILARY CLINTON SOILS HERSELF

Just before the Pennsylvania primary, Hilary decided to up the ante against Barack Obama. In tactics used successfully by Bush Jr. in 2004, she played the 'fear' card, and publicly threatened to 'obliterate' Iran with nuclear weapons, if Iran ever attacked Israel with them. The statement was accompanied by TV ads showing images of 911, Pearl Harbour and so on.

Hilary's tactic worked - she won Pennsylvania. But her statement showed what a contemptible and dangerous proceeding the US Presidential elections have become. Promising to commit war-crimes in the name of 'security' has apparently become essential to winning the White House.

So far Obama has resisted such loathsome tactics....but for how long will he be able to? The American people's ignorance of history (complete absence of memory) has already been noted by writers such as Gore Vidal. Both Pearl Harbour and 911 were avenged a thousand times over by incomparably worse crimes by the US....and both were provoked by American policies as well...but such subtleties are irrelevant to an ignorant people dulled by incessant propaganda, alcohol, sports and sitcoms, Bible-thumping, and the arrogance of being the world's most powerful and murderous nation. They ought to reflect on the promise that those who exalt themselves will be humbled...but then America is a nation of liars who imagine themselves Christian while pursuing Mammon at all costs including the murder of millions of foreigners...

Hilary soiled herself with her threat against Iran.....and was obliged to modify her statement after Iran rightly complained to the UN....and of course, Hilary declined to mention, as do none of the US luminaries of the media and academia, that Iran has yet to build a bomb, whereas Israel already has a couple of hundred BOMBS which can easily vaporize Iran....

Once a champion of universal medicare, Mrs. Clinton has descended to the slimy and criminal tactics of the incumbent of the White House....power corrupts, and so does the lust for it...
