Clinton Threatens to Attack Iran 'The Way That We Did' Iraq

Posted By Jason Ditz On June 7, 2009 @ 5:25 pm 
Citing the disastrous 2003 US invasion of Iraq as an example, Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton today warned that by continuing to refuse to abandon
its civilian nuclear program, Iran was risking the possibility of an
invasion by the US or "some other enemy that would do that to them."

The comments came during an interview on ABC's "This Week" program, and when
asked by interviewer and former Clinton-era official George Stephanopoulus,
Secretary Clinton reiterated "that's right, as a first strike."

The bulk of the interview emphasized US opposition to the Iranian program,
along with unquestioned claims that the nation was pursuing nuclear weapons.
Secretary Clinton also extended the American nuclear umbrella over Israel in
the event that Iran attacked them.
