Welcome To Crazytown

Well, I guess now we know where she disagrees with the base of the Democratic Party.
“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president we will attack Iran,” Clinton said. “In the next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate [...]
