In a speech in Israel on Sunday, which can only be described as ‘hawkish’ (chickenhawk if you’re Romney), Mittens put his ‘WAR MODE’ on and spoke very aggressively on Iran. He also declared Jerusalem to be the capital of the Jewish state and said the United States has “a solemn duty and a moral imperative” to block Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability. The United States, despite its close ties with Israel, has refused to locate its embassy in Jerusalem out of its effort to be a trusted voice by both sides in efforts to negotiate an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal. “Make no mistake, the ayatollahs in Iran are testing our moral defenses. They want to know who will object and who will look the other way,” he said. “We will not look away nor will our country ever look away from our passion and commitment to Israel.” His remarks on the subject during his speech drew a standing ovation from his audience, which included Sheldon Adelson, the American businessman and Casino billionaire who has said he will donate millions to help elect Romney to the White House. Romney’s speech, delivered 8,000 kilometres from U.S. soil, was clearly designed not only for Israelis but aimed at appealing to evangelical voters at home and to cut into Obama’s support among American Jews. A Gallup survey of Jewish voters released Friday showed Obama with a 68-25 edge over Romney. Important point of note: Romney did not mention at all The Peace Process or the Palestinians in his speech.

"Iran is our #1 national security concern." What about our open borders, millions of invaders, and shattered economy? Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Proving yet again, how o'Bungler and mcRomney are the same. Will the sheeple EVER wake up? It's like they're all being "good Germans, circa-1938. Insane.
"Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all."
