CLINTON READY TO 'OBLITERATE' IRAN, WITHOUT CHECKING WITH CONGRESS



JAKE TAPPER, ABC NEWS In an ad that began airing in Pennsylvania Monday morning, Clinton implies she is tougher than Obama. "Who do you think has what it takes?" the narrator asks in an ad depicting historical images of crises that presidents have had to deal with: Osama bin Laden, headlines about the stock market crash of 1929, long gas lines from the 1970s oil-shocks, images of the Cold War, Hurricane Katrina and soldiers. It features the first image of Osama bin Laden to be used in a TV ad this political season. "It's the toughest job in the world," says the ad's narrator. "You need to be ready for anything especially now, with two wars, oil prices skyrocketing and an economy in crisis.". . .

Clinton further displayed tough talk in an interview airing on "Good Morning America" Tuesday. ABC News' Chris Cuomo asked Clinton what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons.

"I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran," Clinton said. "In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."
