when she becomes president.

Israel desperately wants Iran bombed to oblivion.

I Would Reaffirm Unbreakable Bond With Israel — and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Snip

I will do everything I can to enhance our strategic partnership and strengthen America’s security commitment to Israel, ensuring that it always has the qualitative military edge to defend itself. That includes immediately dispatching a delegation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to meet with senior Israeli commanders. I would also invite the Israeli prime minister to the White House in my first month in office.

She will turn the second major branch of Islam against us in a combined forever war. Smart move, lady.

The American tax payer more, and the military industrial complex will make more money. Oh yeah more American casualties, but I think she will be willing to sacrifice those.

Quantity is not quality y'know, and really, most of your threads would be better off as tweets, though you'd barely hit their 140 char limit either.

As for this question, it is ill-informed and ridiculous; "nuking terrorists" is Trump rhetoric, not a Democrat's. Go pose this silly question somewhere else.

for wanting a war with Iran. Now the democratic party is all "meh, it's cool. I guess we'll bomb Iran."
