I love your nom de post.
You make excellent points, but let's face it, rhetoric on the campaign trail is often overheated. I dont believe that Hillary, or anyone (sensible, so I dont mean Bush) actually in the position of governing, would be nearly as aggressive as she was on the stump. I was not a Hillary fan during the campaign, and I would like to see far less demonization of Iran and more even-handedness in our brokering of the Israeli-Palestinean conflict from all of our leades, but I would not disqualify Hillary due to some b.s. she spouted out on the trail while trying to show her bona fides as a commander-in-chief. Recall that Obama himself went overboard at the AIPAC meeting when he said that the whole of Jerusalem must remain part of Israel, which is a more extreme stance than even most Israelis would take.
Again, there's too much smack talked about Iran and anyone who deigns to sneeze in Israel's direction from all our our politicians, but I wouldnt single out Hillary here.
