ABC News: Hillary Clinton Says She ‘Will Not Hesitate to Take Military Action’ If Iran Attempts to Get Nuclear Weapon
Addressing Iran directly today, Hillary Clinton said unequivocally that she “will not hesitate to take military action” as president if the country attempts to obtain a nuclear weapon.
“The United States will never allow you to acquire a nuclear weapon,” Clinton said during remarks at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C Wednesday morning, in a message aimed directly at Iran’s leaders. “As president I will take whatever actions are necessary to protect the U.S. and its allies. I will not hesitate to take military action.”
The democratic presidential candidate, who says she supports the Iran nuclear deal as “part of a larger strategy” for dealing with Iran, explained that military action would only be a last resort after trying diplomatic routes first.
“Because we’ve shown our commitment to diplomacy first, the world will likely join us,” she predicted.
WNU Editor: I do not even know where to begin on this one. To say that she lacks credibility on this issue .... especially vowing a tough line on Iran on the nuclear issue .... she just does not convince me. But in all honesty .... I can say the same thing for most of Washington's political class today.
