Hillary's Unnoticed Flap, over Obliterating Iran, did get alot of Attention in Theran.  We now know what they felt.

Tehran, which insists its nuclear programme is solely for power generation, denounced her words as "provocative and irresponsible".

It said the remarks were "a flagrant violation" of the UN Charter.

In a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Mehdi Danesh-Yazdi, Iran's deputy ambassador to the UN, said Mrs Clinton had "unwarrantedly and under erroneous and false pretexts threatened to use force against the Islamic Republic of Iran".

This is not the sort of thing a Presidential Candidate should be carelessly engaging in.

And incase you missed yesterday's daily whopper, We're awaiting word from OPEC on these statements.

She vowed to break the monopoly of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), cartel which produces 40 percent of the world's oil.

"I am tired of OPEC setting the price and determining how much supply there is, by any definition that is a monopoly," Clinton said.

"We are going to use every tool at our disposal as a nation to try to break that up."

Another Gaffe, even less reported than the Iranian Threats...
