Hillary the adult? She could lead Democrats to sanity on Iran

Could Hillary Clinton be the one to lead the Democrats out of the Iran debacle?

Through the entire drama between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the woman who hopes to be the next president was nowhere to be seen.

Or heard.

She did give an interview in Winnipeg, Canada in which she echoed President Obama, warning that Russia and China might balk in the United Nations if the US Congress imposes sanctions before we even know the answers to the questions we are asking.

Yet no one in Congress not Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), the co-sponsor of the leading sanctions bill, nor even more confrontational figures like, say, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is talking about imposing sanctions before we know the answers.

The Menendez bill that has triggered this tumult would restore sanctions only if Iran fails to reach a deal with the Obama administration, or defaults on any deal it makes.

Many Democrats have nonetheless worked themselves into an incredible lather. Its hard to recall anything quite like the on-camera nervous breakdown the Democratic left wing held after Netanyahus speech.

One congressman, John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), likened Netanyahu to a child. Another, Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), suggested Netanyahu, who was actually wounded in combat, has never seen a war he didnt want our country to fight.

The most shocking was Rep. Jan Shakowsky (D-Ill.), who mocked Netanyahu for backing the Iraq war.

If Saddam Hussein were toppled, she quoted Netanyahu as saying in 2002, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region, and I think that people sitting right next door in Iran, young people and many others, will say that the time of such regime and such despots is gone.
