Santorum: Iran would nuke Missouri

[bathroommonkey76]

Rick Santorum warned that if Iran procures a nuclear weapon, it would pose a threat even to Missouri.

“Once they have a nuclear weapon, let me assure you, you will not be safe, even here in Missouris,” Santorum said Friday at a campaign stop in the Show Me State. “These are folks who have been and are at war with us since 1979. This is a country that has killed more troops in Afghanistan and Iraq than the Iraqis and Afghans.”

Santorum’s saber-rattling on Iran is nothing new. In the past he’s said that he would attack nuclear facilities in Iran if the country did not agree to international nuclear arms inspections.

[gopiscrap]

5. When I first read the headline I thought it was joke

Poor Ricky with his head being up his ass, that frothy fecal matter is starting to infest his brain!!!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

6. They'd nuke NYC or California first.....

...and Santorum would be the first one saying it was because they love teh geys.

[KansDem]

7. Oh, yeah! Hey, Rickie..."Show Me!!!"

Okay, okay, I live in Kansas but I work in Missouri...

[treestar]

8. North Korea already has the nukes

Ricky, why haven't they bombed Alaska?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. Which means that Mormon Jesus would die..... Or would he? After all he is a zombie. nt

[sakabatou]

10. Wut?

[arcane1]

11. "at war with us since 1979"??? No...

We've been at war with them since 1953.


Let's count "history" as item #4,725 that little Ricky knows squat about.

12. Why aren't any of these nut job loonies running for President ever had any treatment

for their delusions?

And people really want to vote for them?

[FiveGoodMen]

14. Why do they have followers?!

There will always be a few nuts ... but an entire electorate of nuts ... that's BAD NEWS!

[octothorpe]

23. Because many of their followers 'believe' the same shit...

It's strange, because I'm sure at least a few of the ones I know are intelligent enough to see how flawed their logic is, but they refuse to admit it. I noticed during debates with them, they often times shutdown when they are really drilled to explain the flawed logic and hypocritical views they hold.

18. Reagan closed the mental hospitals ... and so now the insane run the GOP.

[DinahMoeHum]

13. Neah neah-neah neah neah, booga booga booga.

15. It's the barbeque and jazz, isn't it

Although growing up in Missouri during the Cold War, we were told often enough we were a target (missile sites, military bases and of course, food supply).

[Marnie]

16. And Sarah Palin can see Putin rearing his ugly head from her house.

[dflprincess]

17. Duck & Cover, Rick

Santorum is certifiable.

[carla]

19. At least he

isn't trying to cover his fear-mongering and lies anymore. I wish the Iranians would nuke him in the ass...Hey, Prick, STFU and GO AWAY!

[trof]

20. Well, that does it. Now he's got me worried about Alabama's security.

I think we should have our own missile shield.
Or something.

[joanbarnes]

21. Here in Missouri we are more afraid of Santorum than Iran.

[octothorpe]

22. But we're the ones with politicians debating if we should attack Iran or not...

Even if they did have nuclear weapons, they'd have a hell of a time nuking Missouri.

Not to mention that we kinda outclass them in military spending and capability. So, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be in their interest to give the US a valid reason to attack.

[jumptheshadow]

24. Nuke Missouri? Just as Mizzou's sports programs are improving?

Man, some of us alums would be very distressed.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. Tonight is the Border War game

Maybe Kansas is conspiring with Santorum.

[waddirum]

27. WTF Rick?

"This is a country that has killed more troops in Afghanistan and Iraq than the Iraqis and Afghans."

How could anyone explain that with a straight face?

[AverageJoe90]

28. The Iranian government is definitely evil but this is just B.S. fearmongering on Santorum's part.

Let the Iranian people revolt, damn it!
