As opposed to the wars that Mitt pushed Massachusetts into?

Or how he bravely faced down the Olympics and sent them building crap in Utah?

Or how he's challenged folks' belief that a candidate cannot simultaneously hold two opposing views equally in Quantum Political Superposition?

Yup, Mitt is a tower of strength in how he can leap from opinion to opinion. Truly he is the thinking man's candidate for how he can drop his guns without even pretending to stick to them. It takes a special kind of courage to deny that you've ever had any other beliefs than the ones you're espousing this very moment...

Mitt would be wise to rise out of the primary squabbling and treat Obama as his opponent.

So, did Iran ever say "and this is the building we're keeping it in?"

Because we'd need an actual target.

Once again, the GOP proves that a vote for them is a vote for another war in the Middle East.

So welcome home troops, but don't get too comfy. You're about to be shipped to Iran.

Mitt Romney believes in nothing. He'd trade his magic underwear and his Mormon faith for the presidency in a heartbeat.

Cheney agrees with Romney on this.

That is my bellwether on many things. Find out what Cheney thinks, do the opposite.

Blues_X: So, did Iran ever say "and this is the building we're keeping it in?"

We could fly a drone over and try to find it... oh wait.

When Mitt Romney was the "governor" of Massachusetts, he wanted to demonstrate how safe the Subway system is.

So, he hopped on the T at Park street and hopped off at Downtown Crossing.

Difficulty: These two stations are connected.

No one told him that, so his photop turned into people making fun of him for being an out of touch carpet bagger.

I think I'm gonna start throwing in random fails that Romney made in MA

We should have just sent the troops leaving Iraq to go in and do it. I'm sure the Iranians would have give us directions as we had no idea where the damn thing was. Hey Mitt! Ignorance can be cured. Stupid is forever.

Thunderdome politics

Headso: This idiocy is even funnier now that it has come out that the drone Iran was showing is basically paper mache. So the chickenhawks want to attack the location of the fake drone...

Wait, really? I have not seen this.

"hey, mitt - ask osama bin laden if i'm weak and timid."

Romney's foreign policy and defense advisers are the same farkheads that got us into Iraq.

Same crowd, different face man.

Once (if) he gets elected, he'll get all the briefings and come to realize it's harder than it looks, it's not like the movies, etc. etc.

There's the trouble with succeeding with an operation like taking out Osama, people assume you can do it anytime , anywhere on two minutes notice.

Mitt, when you're president, you can call the shots.

Good luck there chief.

Mitt knows that full well, but the people he's trying to convince don't.

Mitt is really getting desperate for any movement his way as it becomes obvious that while none of the other candidates are worth anything, nobody wants his ass.

I wonder what Mitt thinks about the UN and shredding the legitimate treaty that the US is a signatory to.

So if we had some Iranian spy locked down in Quantico, Iran could justify bombing it to prevent him from talking. Is that how it works?


This so called "American Exceptionalism" is going to bite us in the }{ one of these days.

Welcome Home Troops!

Here's a cookie and a plane ticket to Iran.

Love,
The GOP.

No. More. Wars.

Newsflash: Mitt Romney's a blowhard and will never be President.

we went to war against iraq - whose military had been decimated by 12 years of sanctions, the gulf war, and a decade of war with iran - and we were there for nine years and lost nearly 5,000 americans.

what the fark does mittens think will happen if we go to war with a country with a well-trained and well-motivated modern military?

His statements will get progressively more looney tunes unless his poll numbers improve. It will be fun to watch, but Mitt doesn't actually mean any of it.

Full-blown, bat-Mitt, crazy

RON PAUL doesn't support the war machine. The rest of the candidates, Obama included, do.

We are already waging a war with Iran, it's just a covert one. Stuxnet destroying centrifuges, all their nuclear scientists mysteriously getting shot, random explosions near nuclear facilities, and now taking aim at their central bank.

Obama knows what's up with all that, guaranteed

an excerpt

Iran.
This week we learned that Iran 's government planned an act of war against us in our own capital. It is hard to overestimate the number of problems in the world that would be solved with this government gone. And that's the solution: regime change. Apply a straightforward Reagan Doctrine strategy to overthrow Iran 's mullah regime by sponsoring - with money and weapons - insurrections throughout the country.
Of Iran 's 78 million, over 20 million are ethnic Azeri - almost three times the number of Azeris in Azerbaijan next door, whom they would love to join in a Greater Azerbaijan. There are at least eight million Kurds, who would fight tooth and nail against their Tehran oppressors if we gave them support. There are three million Ahwazi Arabs who populate Iran 's oil patch, Kuhzestan, across the border from southern Iraq .
And of course there are the Persians themselves, some 33 million, whose mass street protests have been so brutally suppressed (and which the current president did not lift a finger or say a word to support).
A president determined to effect regime change in Iran would succeed quickly. The world's main state sponsor of Islamic terrorism would be no more. Iraq would be free to flourish, Syria would be quickly liberated, the threat to the Saudi and Gulf oil fields would be removed, and of course, Iran's nuclear program would be destroyed in the process (Israeli spec-ops would see to that).
It's a long list of positives and few if any negatives. All it needs is a president with the courage of Ronald Reagan.
Israel.
The pre-1967 demarcations our current president demands Israel return to were not borders - they were cease-fire lines where Israel was able to stop the Arab invasions after declaring its independence in 1948. The Six-Day War recaptured Israel 's legitimate territory, and that territory, including Golan and Judea-Samaria (the so-called " West Bank ") should remain so.

The Palestinians need to be told to STFU, that they no longer will be coddled and treated like spoiled children. They will recognize the state of Israel as legitimate and Jewish, or they can move to the Sinai, where Egypt will give them a Palestinian State since the Egyptians love Palestinians so much (the dirty secret is that the rest of the Arab world despises Palestinians and calls them rafida, Arabic for the N-word). Arabs and Euroweenies who object can shove their Nazi Anti-Semitism up their noses.
That's the way a pro-American pro-Israel president would deal with Israel and the Arabs.
Then there's Turkey.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan (air-doh-wan) is an Islamist megalomaniac fantasizing about recreating the Ottoman Caliphate. He is constantly threatening Israel , pretending his high school navy is a match for Israel 's NFL navy. Yet he has gutted the Turkish officer corps and filled it with incompetent stooges.
Erdogan needs a US president to explain to him that any duke-out between Turkey and Israel will result in his total humiliation, causing his overthrow and Turkey 's expulsion from NATO.
Islam.
In addition to the above re: Israel and Iran , the next president should make a clear and public distinction between Islam the religion and Islamism the political ideology masquerading as a religion. That Islamism will no longer be accorded the respect due an actual religion but treated with the contempt due any fascist ideology such as Communism or Nazism.

The next president should draw a distinct line between all variants of Islamism, such as Wahhabis, Deobandis, Khomeini Shias, and other forms of Jihadi and Sharia Islam, with peaceful and tolerant forms of Islam such as practiced by Sufis and Ismailis. It is with the latter that the future of Islam lies.
And for any Moslem in the US who agitates for Sharia law, he is welcome to do so - in a country that practices it, not in America . As for Islamic terrorism, its practitioners should receive a drone strike -a policy of the current president that should be continued.
The current president has, however, utterly failed to champion the rights and religious freedom of Christians in the Moslem world. A truly American foreign policy would do so.

Europe.
It's Old Europe, now known as the Eurozone, serving as an object lesson of the scam of the welfare state versus New Europe, the liberated former colonies of the Soviet Union who learned the hard way the evils of socialism and the virtues of capitalism.
A new president would focus attention on the Baltics, Poland , Czechia , Slovakia , Hungary , Romania , Bulgaria , Macedonia , Albania , Croatia , and Slovenia . And he would politely educate the lands of Old Europe on welfare state socialism as a religion of envy. Ireland is already figuring this out and is recovering thereby.
Mexico.
As Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty significantly helped bring freedom to Soviet Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union , the next president could institute a Radio Free Mexico (including satellite television and web sites) teaching free market and small business economics to Mexicans.
Mexico is the land of crony corrupt corporate fascist capitalism. As a result, most Mexicans live in medieval poverty while the richest man in the world is a Mexican - Carlos Slim - whose wealth was gained with state-protected monopolies. A true free market economy would enable Mexicans to become prosperous in their own country.
The only real solution to the US illegal alien problem is for those aliens to want to stay in or go back to their own country where they are free to prosper.
In the meantime, the next president can use the National Guard, seriously armed, to secure our borders. And if drone strikes are so good at killing terrorists, they should be equally good at killing leaders of the Mexican drug cartels.
America and the World.
The next president's foreign policy should be based on the opposite of the current president.

The current president is embarrassed to be an American. The next president should be bursting with pride to be an American. The current president has a compulsion to apologize for America , a compulsion to appease those who envy America and her historically unparalleled success. The next president should feel America has nothing whatever to apologize for, and could not care less about those who envy her.
The next president, as opposed to the current one, should have no qualms in laughing at the lunacy of Warmism, the theory of human CO2 production causing global doom. Warmism is the Fascist Left's replacement for Marxism as a rationale for their seizure of power over our lives.
CO2 is a trace greenhouse gas (95% of the world's atmospheric greenhouse gases is water vapor), and our human production is a trace of that. One tenth of one percent of greenhouse gases are made by man. Humans do not cause global warming, period.
Explaining and rejecting this removes the obstacles to the world's most game-changing technology today - hydraulic fracturing or fracking of shale gas and shale oil deposits. Once the political shackles on this technology are removed, America will not only be fully energy independent, but a major energy exporter to the world. The crony capitalist scam of "renewable energy" will be dead -no more Solyndras, wind farm boondoggles, and ethanol subsidies.

Oh, Russia 's energy stranglehold on Europe will disappear and Israel will be an energy exporter. Exposing the Fascist Left's hoax of Warmism and fully utilizing fracking technology will enable America and much of the world to live in an era of cheap and abundant energy - providing the material foundation for an ever-growing widespread prosperity.
Lastly, the next president needs to explain that America really does need to be the world's policeman. As America apologizes and retreats from the world, the wolves emerge from the forest, from China to Iran . Only America can keep the world's wolves at bay.

We do not need to nation-build. We do not need our soldiers in Afghanistan . We do not need our soldiers in South Korea . We do not need our soldiers in Europe - Russian tanks (however many can still run) are not going to charge through the Fulda Gap. Once we effect regime change in Iran , we will not need our soldiers in Iraq .
We do need a strong, well-equipped and trained military, an army, an air force, and coast guard. But what we need most of all is an immensely strong navy, along with special forces - Marines, Rangers, SEALs, Delta, et al. Without that, the world's wolf packs run wild and unchecked.
The American Economy and Foreign Policy. A strong America obviously requires a strong and flourishing economy. This can only be achieved by getting the government out of the way of it.

This cannot be done by a smooth-talking sophist who believes in Warmism (thus renewable energy crony capitalist scams), and whose health care program served as the model for the abomination of Obamacare.
This cannot be done by a Johnny One Note who can only talk about his tax reform plan that will take years to implement (if ever), and thus will do absolutely nothing to immediately revive the economy and create massive job growth.
This cannot be done by anyone pretending his business experience can be applied to running a government. Governments and their bureaucracies are the opposite of a for-profit business and cannot be run on business principles. Governments, the federal government in particular, can only be run on Constitutional principles, which means eliminating all federal activities, programs, agencies, and departments not enumeratedly authorized by the Constitution. (Not all at once but in an orderly manner - Rome wasn't torn down in a day.)
This can be done only by someone with successful executive government experience who is committed to those Constitutional restrictions, most particularly those embodied in the 10th Amendment.

I wish that person well in the debate next Tuesday and in the months of campaigning to come. The 2012 GOP nomination campaign will be a test of endurance. It will not and mathematically cannot be won quickly.
30 states hold their GOP primaries before April, which are by new RNC rules proportional. A candidate who wins a majority or plurality of votes in these primaries only gets his proportion of the delegates - it's not winner-take-all. 55% of the votes, say, gets you 55% of the delegates, no more.

Further, because they are in violation of RNC rules for insisting on ridiculously early primaries, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, Florida, Arizona, and Michigan will be penalized with a loss of half of their delegates. Iowa is a non-binding caucus so it's just a pr show.
The race will not be won until deep into April - and thus will be won by the best funded, best organized, and most determined never-give-up persistent candidate. For America 's sake, let that candidate be also the most Constitutionally principled

lockers: I wonder what exactly will happen to Israel should this escalate to open warfare

A lot of Americans and whoever else we conned into getting involved in this will die.
