If you needed a reason to vote for Obama.
I reckon Obama is 30-40% so better than a coin flip that we don't go to war with Iran (it would require an attack + UN support before Obama would do anything, imo).
They were mocking him as "weak" in the debates because he canceled military exercises with Israel once Iran started their exercises. Uh, no, that's smart. We don't need to do a "measurement contest," to put it nicely.

Hell, if it's Santorum we'll be attacking all the jihadis in Nicaragua.
