Clo,

It isn't a matter of how much taxpayer money he would commit. It is a matter of him interferring in U.S. foreign policy to try to win the election. It is also a matter that if that strike takes place it would likely drive a very fragile world economy over the edge and into a worldwide depression.

Regards,

Joe


To say that "God exists" is the greatest understatement ever made across space and time.

Mitt Romney would 'respect' Israel strike on Iran, aide says.

By Garrett Haake, NBC News, and wire reports

JERUSALEM - Mitt Romney would “respect” Israel if it were to decide it had to use military force to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, a senior aide said on Sunday as the Republican presidential candidate began his visit to Jerusalem.

"If Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from developing that capability, the governor would respect that decision," Romney's senior national security aide Dan Senor told reporters traveling with the candidate.

While stopping short of endorsing a preemptive military attack, the comment seemed to differ with President Barack Obama's attempts to convince Israel to avoid any such move.

Gov. Romney’s first meeting was Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who greeted him as a “personal friend and friend of Israel.”

Shaking hands underneath U.S. and Israel flags, the pair signaled that Iran would be top of the agenda in their discussions.

Netanyahu said: "We have to be honest and say that all the sanctions and diplomacy so far have not set back the Iranian program by one iota. And that's why I believe that we need a strong and credible military threat coupled with the sanctions to have a chance to change that situation."
