How I would check Iran’s nuclear ambition

By Mitt Romney, Published: March 5

The Washington Post

<snip>As for Iran in particular, I will take every measure necessary to check the evil regime of the ayatollahs. Until Iran ceases its nuclear-bomb program, I will press for ever-tightening sanctions, acting with other countries if we can but alone if we must. I will speak out on behalf of the cause of democracy in Iran and support Iranian dissidents who are fighting for their freedom. I will make clear that America’s commitment to Israel’s security and survival is absolute. I will demonstrate our commitment to the world by making Jerusalem the destination of my first foreign trip.

Most important, I will buttress my diplomacy with a military option that will persuade the ayatollahs to abandon their nuclear ambitions. Only when they understand that at the end of that road lies not nuclear weapons but ruin will there be a real chance for a peaceful resolution.

My plan includes restoring the regular presence of aircraft carrier groups in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf region simultaneously. It also includes increasing military assistance to Israel and improved coordination with all of our allies in the area.

We can’t afford to wait much longer, and we certainly can’t afford to wait through four more years of an Obama administration. By then it will be far too late. If the Iranians are permitted to get the bomb, the consequences will be as uncontrollable as they are horrendous. My foreign policy plan to avert this catastrophe is plain: Either the ayatollahs will get the message, or they will learn some very painful lessons about the meaning of American resolve.

1. without question...

Especially if they are poor.

[stevenleser]

3. Yes, zero question or doubt in my mind that he is capable of doing that.

As to whether he will, I give the same answer on any subject, since Romney has at least four stated positions on every issue, its impossible to tell what he would do on any of them.

[MrSlayer]

2. Absolutely.

That's the next move in the PNAC play book.

7. 1+++

4. He would make sure his nieces husband would come home

So they can take care of their NEW lawn and sprinkler system that good Samaritans installed for them.

As a republican, and therefore the chosen lot, it's not our job to get our hands dirty! WTF!

[TheCowsCameHome]

As long as they aren't related to the Romney clan.

[HubertHeaver]

10. Neither Mitt Romney nor any of his many sons will lift a finger to fight for America.

[patrice]

11. Why is it that every word about war coming out of Republicans mouths sounds like extortion?

TTE "They are going to attack us, so give me _____________________, OR ELSE!"

12. And when you ask him, 'How much should we give?' Ooh, he only answers More! More! More! yoh

Fortunate Son
Recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Written by John Fogerty

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! More! More! yoh

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no

15. In the proverbial NY minute.

He's in the pocket of the MIC and the neo-cons one hundred percent and an egotistical asshole to boot. We already went down this disastrous path with Chimpoleon and Darth. Never again.
