AP - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, who chastised rival Barack Obama
for ruling out the use of nuclear weapons in the war on terror, did just
that when asked about Iran a year ago. "I would certainly take nuclear
weapons off the table," she said in April 2006. Her views expressed
while she was gearing up for a presidential run stand in conflict with
her comments this month regarding Obama, who faced heavy criticism from
leaders of both parties, including Clinton, after saying it would be "a
profound mistake" to deploy nuclear weapons in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"There's been no discussion of nuclear weapons. That's not on the
table," he said. Clinton, who has tried to cast her rival as too
inexperienced for the job of commander in chief, said of Obama's stance
on Pakistan: "I don't believe that any president should make any blanket
statements with respect to the use or non-use of nuclear weapons."
But that's exactly what she did in an interview with Bloomberg
Television in April 2006. The New York senator, a member of the Armed
Services committee, was asked about reports that the Bush administration
was considering military intervention-possibly even a nuclear strike-to
prevent Iran from escalating its nuclear program.
"I have said publicly no option should be off the table, but I would
certainly take nuclear weapons off the table," Clinton said. "This
administration has been very willing to talk about using nuclear weapons
in a way we haven't seen since the dawn of a nuclear age. I think that's
a terrible mistake."
