No.
When Palin talks about reloading she is talking about regrouping or a pause before continuing. When the President of Iran talks about destroying a country he is talking about actually destroying a country.

This is a political forum, everyone here comes with preconceived notions of political ideas, the whole point is an exercise in the use of rhetoric for point and counter point exchange. I for one love it. I also love British Parliamentary style debate simply for its entertainment value, many don't - and it appears you don't either.
