Your future president?

"If I'm the president, we will attack Iran... we would be able to totally obliterate them.That's a terrible thing to say, but those people who run Iran need to understand that, because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic,"

-Senator Hillary Clinton -

in reference to Iran's relationship with Israel

Yes, she actually used the word obliterate ...

Obama's response?
"Using words like 'obliterate' - it doesn't actually produce good results, and so I'm not interested in sabre-rattling."
He said only that Iran should know he would respond "forcefully" to an attack on any US ally.
