SPARTANBURG, S.C GOP debate. -- Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich said they would be willing to go to war to keep Iran from attaining nuclear weapons if all other strategies failed.
Romney said that if "crippling sanctions" and other strategies fail, military action would be on the table. Mitt unilaterally said it is "unacceptable" to Iran to become a nuclear power.
Gingrich agreed, added if "maximum covert operations" and other strategies failed there would be no other choice.
Ron Paul strongly disagreed, stressing the need to go to Congress before military action and saying it isn't worthwhile to use military force against Iran. Paul said:
I'm afraid what's going on right now is similar to the war propaganda that went on against Iraq.
Herman Cain was also opposed to further military action military action.
Here we go again. Iran is a threat to Israel, not the US. You can be certain that someone in the GOP---probably Dick Cheney--is already drafting plans to invade Iran.
The longest range missile that Iranians have is the The Shahab-3 missile. It can strike targets between 800 and 1,250 miles. Iran has no way to deliver a nuclear weapon that would threaten the US.
The Iranian terrian is very rugged with the Zagrev mountains and is more like Afghanistan than Iraq. Both the Russians and Chinese would come to the aid of Iran, increasing the likelihood of a World War 3 scenario.
The Us has already pissed away $ 1 trillion in the middle east wars and the life cycle cost of Iraq and Afghanistan is expected to reach $ 4 trillion when the government starts paying VA disabilities.
The US can hardly afford another middle east war that we are likely to lose.
If there is one good reason not to vote Republican in the next election, this is it!
Will the timid Democrats attack Romney and Gingrich on this issue? Probably not, because they don't want to upset Israel.
