Both [Clinton and Obama] said they would commit U.S. forces to defend Israel, with Senator Clinton saying she would use "massive retaliation" to counter a nuclear attack on Israel by Iran and Senator Obama saying he would favor taking "appropriate action."
The interesting part is committing forces to defend Israel. Defend it against what? a rag-tag opposition with make-shift weapons that are embargoed in Gaza? or a militia with inferior weaponry -albeit superior determination- in southern lebanon?
I guess having mercava tanks, F-16s, Apache attack helicopters, nuclear power, commando and strike forces, and smart bombs are not enough to defend poor helpless Israel.
So much for justice!

"to counter a nuclear attack on Israel by Iran"
Don't over-react man, for the following reasons:
1) They're trying to win votes.
2) The key words are "defend", "retaliation" and "counter".
3) The statements they made don't reflect any change in US foreign policy.
