This is why I'm especially glad that Clinton didn't become president. She has these posturing moments of poorly timed bellicosity when it isn't necessary to be that directly confrontational.
The US has soldiers in bases all across the world. They have destroyed cities in the matter of minutes without a single nuclear device. We have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. You were saying?
I suspect though that the content of her comments were known ahead of time by Obama and this was is a message of the Obama Admin. and not just Hillary Clinton.
I really don't think so. There have been a whole bunch of occasions where Obama says something and then she comes back in a day or two that is orders of magnitude more belligerent than what Obama just said. I'm sure they speak together about issues. But the content and tone of public comments? I don't think the President has quite that level of control. Maybe they're playing good cop/bad cop, but I don't think Hillary would cede that much of her independence to Obama.
I sorta lean the other way, Ottomaton. I think she's been pretty darn good about putting out the administration line, whether she personally buys it or not. I don't think what she said was "out of the blue" and not vetted by the White House. In my opinion, we were sending Iran yet another warning. Seems to have no affect whatsoever, but I think it was deliberate. And Azadre, that was a bit damaging to your point, man!
