[Peace-discuss] Obama's threat

[C. G. Estabrook]

[Remember that in the 2000 campaign Bush attacked Clinton's invasion of Serbia 
and said that he would not indulge in such "nation-building."  We have to assume 
that some people voted for him because they were tired of Clinton's foreign 
policy lies.  Now Obama attacks Bush's foreign policy lies...  --CGE]


	Barack Obama calls Iran a 'threat'

US Presidential hopeful Barack Obama calls the Islamic Republic of Iran a 
'threat' during a word association game in a TV interview.

In an interview on Fox Business channel Thursday, Obama played a word 
association game, responding in rapid-fire to words thrown at him by the program 
anchor.

When given the word 'Iran' Obama responded by saying 'threat'. The Illinois 
Senator also described Republican Presidential hopeful John McCain as 'honorable'.

Earlier this month, Obama called Iran a threat when addressing the American 
Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

"The danger from Iran is grave, it is real, and my goal will be to eliminate 
this threat," he told his audience at the gathering.

Obama also stressed that he would always keep the military option against Iran 
on the table to defend US security and its ally, Israel.

The presumptive Democratic nominee has said he would do everything in his power 
to go against Iran if it does not stop threatening Israel and continues uranium 
enrichment...
