Obliterate Iran? Let's rethink that
5/13/2008

Does anyone doubt that the United States would respond militarily to an attack on Israel by Iran? Even knee-jerk doves know that such an attack could not be allowed to pass unanswered. Certainly, Iran knows it.

But Sen. Hillary Clinton, candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, overstated the case when she told ABC's "Good Morning America" last month that if Iran attacks Israel, "we would be able to totally obliterate them."

"Isn't it amazing that we all bring our horses to town but only the people with money get to put their horses at the front of the parade. Let's think about this."

"The police department won't hire smokers. Why doesn't the hospital adopt that policy?"

"It's interesting that every time I call the Journal 333 line my comments never get printed."

"Keep raising the mill levy and Salina will be known as the city on the move -- moving all the old folks right out of town because they won't be able to afford their taxes. It'd be the all American city with no old people."

"Yes, Salina needs a new expo center like my grandpa needs a new topless bar. Money is spent in better places, I think."

"Actually, we could finance a new expo center if we started charging 10 cents per call for every idiot who called the 333 line."
