Hillary seems to raise possibility of nuking terrorist 'safe havens'
Clinton promises 'heavy retaliation' for terrorist-harboring nations
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, finding herself in an unexpectedly close
race with freshman Sen. Barack Obama, flexed her national security muscles
in Saturday night's Democratic debate, raising the possibility of loosing
nuclear weapons on countries that harbor terrorists who plot a nuclear
attack on the US.
Clinton, answering a hypothetical question about the possibility of a
nuclear weapon being detonated in the US, said she would immediately
target terrorist "safe havens." The former First Lady warned "every state
in the world must know we will retaliate," and she invoked deterrence
aimed at the Soviet Union during the Cold War -- predicated on mutually
assured destruction resulting from a US nuclear counter-strike -- as a
successful strategy for averting a nuclear catastrophe.
ABC News anchor Charles Gibson, who was moderating Saturday night's
Facebook-cosponsored debate, asked the candidates to imagine questions
they would face the day after a nuclear weapon was detonated in a major US
citiy. What will we wish we had done, and what will you as president do?
Gibson asked the candidates.
Although she did not deliberately say she would launch nuclear weapons at
countries where terrorists were believed to have found safe haven, her
answer left it as a clear probability.
"If we can demonstrate that the people responsible for planning the
nuclear attack on our country may not themselves be in a government or
associated with a state, but have a haven within one, then every state in
the world must know we will retaliate against those states," Clinton said.
"There cannot be safe havens for stateless terrorists who are in these
networks that are plotting to have the proliferation of nuclear weapons
.. that could cause such havoc. So I think we have to be very, very
clear: Deterrence worked during the Cold War in large measure because the
United States made it clear to the Soviet Union that there would be
massive retaliation. We have to make it clear to those states that would
give safe have to stateless terrorists that would launch a nuclear attack
against America, that they would also face very heavy retaliation."
Obama said he would retaliate against anyone who struck American soil,
although he focused more on the need to decrease the availability of
nuclear weapons overall. He criticized President Bush for abandoning the
goals of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and he said the US needed to
work with Russia so both countries can begin reducing their nuclear
arsenals. 
Four out of Five Facebook users said Saturday's debate was helping them
decide who they would support, and two-thirds said they were confident a
Democrat could handle national security issues, according to real-time
polls on the social networking site.
Later in the debate, Clinton implicitly invoked President Bush in warning
about the perils of choosing likability over experience in a presidential
race. The former First Lady, who's long struggled with image concerns,
joked that it "hurts my feelings" that polls show voters find Obama to be
far more likable that her.
"He's very likable, there's no doubt about that," Clinton said, but "I
don't think I'm that bad." 
"You're likable enough," Obama cut in.
Then Hillary unleashed her Bush comparison.
"In 2000 we ended up with a president who people wanted to have a beer
with," she said.
"The most important question is who is ready to be President on Day One."

Chiacchiere preelettorali. Per contro, l'interesse della Clinton per la 
socializzazione del sistema sanitario USA è di vecchia data.

 Per contro, l'interesse della Clinton per la socializzazione del sistema sanitario USA è di vecchia data.
Dotare gli USA di un sistema sanitario nazionale la renderebbe il
miglior presidente da un bel po' IMVHO.

insomma a te andrebbe bene una politica estera da falco (perche' se non
ricordo male sull'Iraq la Clinton non era contraria all'invasione) ma con
una socializzazione del ssn USA?

Quando l'idiota in chief salě al potere, io ne fui quasi contento: 
preconizzava (quasi) un neo-isolazionismo. Poi č andata come č andata: mai 
confondere la caccia al voto con la politica vera. Besides, io sono 
internazionalista, e non vedo perché 300 milioni di persone debbano avere un 
Servizio Sanitario punitivo verso il proletariato. I lavoratori statunitensi 
non sono umani?

per carità. certo che lo sono e che il ssn USA va rivisto radicalmente (
