It is clearly a covert pro-Obama propagandistic move. The Democrats decided that Obama-Hillary rivalry harms the prospects of a democratic president: while the two battle each other, McCain is slowly mounting in the polls, albeit his prsopects are still quite meager. So last week Hillary said that Obama was "the only one who could beat McCain", which was interpreted by many commentators as her giving up the candidacy, although not formally. It was assumed that she would do anything in the future to harm her own prospects in order to empower Obama. All that for the "higher interests of the party". It is probably some of those who pull the strings in the background giving her such advices. A prospective war with Iran has become so much of an unpopular cause that even the perceivedly bellicose McCain calmed down his tones significiantly on that issue. Now comes Hillary with such a bomabastic statement boosting an unpopular cause. It can point only in one direction.
