Clinton: Iran Wants to Be Attacked
Warns Not 'Stopping' Iran Could Lead to 'Unforeseen Consequences'
Speaking today in an interview with Charlie Rose, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed that Iran secretly really wants to be attacked by the US because it “would unify the Iranian public and legitimize the Islamic regime.”
Clinton’s argument, such as it is, came just days after the end of the latest round of negotiations with Iran, following Israeli demands for the US to be more “explicit” in its threats to attack Iran.
Interestingly enough, Clinton’s belief that Iran “wants” the attack and that it would benefit them did not stop her from continuing on in detail about the importance of “stopping” Iran within the next year or so, by diplomacy or with an attack.
Indeed, Clinton seemed to warn against the idea of not attacking Iran, cautioning that a war would be “not only about Iran” but about avoiding “unforeseen consequences” that could erupt from the lack of a new US war.

Ohh yehhh sure, Like Russian and China wants to be attacked by the US and NATO, they asking for it, as a matter of fact they demand for US and NATO to attack them, or better yet the entire world wants to be attacked by US and NATO, they are waiting for the third world war, the destruction of the world, billions of people around the world loves to see that happens, not that you or James A Baker care Hillary Clinton.
I mean are you and Jams Baker, the new comer to the scenic views of world political agendas conducted by Charley Rose where US and NATO wanting to become the world dominated economy by having a war or two here or there, although its sounds bizarre but it seams that Hillary Clinton needs all the help that she can get knowing that she have failed her mission.
Yet Clinton responsibility here is about injecting the capitalism agendas to the world as the only method that exist when it come to social economic democracy and justice. On that show Hillary Clinton said that democracy is about everything and anyone, that is true, democracy is a matter that responds in universal terms based on economic and social justice, yet that doesn’t means that you can throw all kind of junk at democracy expecting it to function. Like what US and NATO are doing, regarding Syria, supporting the Saudis tyrants and their agendas, which is the cleansing of Shiites from entire region, the progressive and legitimate governments in Libya, Syria and more, establishing a Sunny majority, is the matter of throwing that junks by dividing people expecting for democracy to function, supporting these tyrants supported terrorism is the junk yet wanting for democracy to function, sending your mercenaries into legitimate and sovereign countries killing and dividing people is that junk yet expecting for democracy to function.
These kind of political maneuverings are based on directed, implemented, orchestrated, manufactured democracy and that is why there is no democracy no matter what US is doing in Afghanistan nor is in Iraq or other countries where US is involved, perhaps that is one of the reason for US being at war for last 60 years, yet not getting what US wants, which is the world economic and political domination. So what do you expect for people and sovereign government to do, play dead because you say so.
The list of US and NATO junks is long, very long, which is the reason for democracy not functioning at home, you want democracy.., democracy starts at home, take care of millions of homeless people to start with, cut on state department mercenaries, take care of overgrowing poverty in USA, and that goes for David Cameron in England as well, you want democracy reduce the war machinery budget into half from what it is, then you would have enough to pay for healthcare, stop hallucinating about the world domination, world has changed and US with Jams A Baker needs to change with it.

"that a war would be “not only about Iran” but about avoiding “unforeseen consequences” that could erupt from the lack of a new US war."Until now we are told that a war because Iran with nuclear technology would have disastrous consequences which are marked by visionary prophets like Bibi,Shimon Peres and AIPAC but now we are told that the war should be made even for "unseen consequences".If the consequences seen by Bibi and his gang were given to contradict what could someone argues against "unseen consequences"?nothing so the war is necessary according with this twisted logic.

So, logically, if the Iranian regime wants the US to attack Iran in order for the Iranian regime to become stronger, the last thing the US should do is attack Iran. That would ensure the regime does not become stronger and ma be replaced by the Iranians themselves.
Methinks the Harpie hasn't thought this through.

Horrible times we live in. Hitlary Clinton can be easily compared to Goebles during WW2. Rubbish comming out of her mouth and "obedience " to Satanic Zionist strategy against freedom" in last lands refusing US/Israel dictate /internacional zionism/ demonstrate "unbelivable level of arrogance and deception" we find only from Israels colonist regime….Now, this "duo" – real "Axis of Evil" – US and Israel can plunge the whole world into WW3 at any moment…..

Clinton's remonstrations should not be totally discounted even though she has announced her resignation. She may well be replaced by Susan Rice or (less likely) Samantha Powers, either of whom could well drive US foreign policy over the cliff of war with Iran. Powers was identified as the architect of the US war in Libya. Rice has adhered to every diktat from the Israel Lobby. Sad to say, but US foreign policy in the Middle East is still being driven by the Tea Party government led by Binyamin Netanyahu.

… and the Obama administration wants to attack Iran because it would legitimize it in the eyes of AIPAC and the Jewish lobbies. There's some truth in that too, we could go on all day speaking like this but it's nonsense.

You know, the notion the media presents of Hillary Clinton being some
intelligent, accomplished, savvy leader really has to stop. She's nice
in person, I've met her in an informal setting. But there is no way she
should be Sec of State, let alone a candidate for President. Statements
such as this display the level at which her mind has been compromised
by the New World Order groups. She really believes this. It is sad.

Jinx,
Stupidity is lack of intelligence; ignorance is lack of knowledge.
Americans are not stupid; they have been kept ignorant by the government. Your elections are sham; the two party system is a form of dictatorship, like giving people a choice to choose the king or the queen.

Let's look at this from a different perspective, though- we know Hillary is a raving lunatic, but underneath her bluster we may be seeing a tidal change in US policy. She is saying that Iran wants to be attacked 'so it would solidify the regime' and all that- but at the same time the implication is that the US recognizes the dangers of such an attack in terms of long-term consequences. This is completely at odds with Israel's demands, who I'm sure would be more than happy to see Iran obliterated yesterday, if not sooner. Perhaps a few in the US are finally having their voices heard and the drive to war is being blunted at some level.
Of course, I may be reading far too much into this and am way off the mark.

Somebody needs to deal with this stupid broad. She is a cancer, a poison. I mean America infects THEIR computers and she has nerve to say IRAN wants to be attacked. No you stupid twit, YOU want to be attacked. You want you country to be attacked so you can appease you zionist masters in Israel. Netanyahu is the one that pulls the strings of the USA. he is the one that single handedly controls the US. Everything he says clinton reiterates. She is a puppet of Netanyahu.
We're all gonna be destroyed because of these zionist jews. We need to do something. We need to have a revolution in the united states, sack all zionist influence in America and then invade and occupy israel neutralizing it as a threat to humanity.

I'm really wondering if Israel is being used again as scapegoats in the same way they have been historically? It's amazing that so many people come to the conclusion that Israel is pulling strings as opposed to the US govt being in full control and blithely allowing ingrained anti-semitism to deduce the opposite? International Jewry was given a homeland in the middle of what had to be recognized as a hornet's nest. Besides that, I agree with others that the bitch is crazy.

Hillary Clinton is not employed by the US government, she is working for Saudis and UAE, Israel apartheid regimes, the NATO militarism regimes and US capitalism elite, those who runs the white house and the senate. Among them is James A Baker, whom have come to rescue Hillary because her plan didn't went through, She and her NATO friends as the Danish fascist Rasmussen with the Swedish Neo Fascism only and partially succeed in Libya, after Libya test of the plan was about Syria and the Iranian government to fall., Her and Obama plan was to divide nations as much as possible in the middle east, yet the Syrian Iranian and Iraqis are more determent by her politics then ever before. This is the US and NATO democracy, a kind of democracy that US economic system as vulture capitalism is all about.
