Has Mitt Romney given Israel a blank check for war?

So it seemed from the declaration in Jerusalem by his adviser Dan Senor, who all but flashed Israel a green light for war, signaling the Israelis that, if you go, Mitt’s got your back:

“If Israel has to take action on its own in order to stop Iran from developing that capability, the governor would respect that decision.”

“No option would be excluded. Gov. Romney recognizes

I think its a bit of a stretch to take from that comment that we're all onboard with a blank check.

With that said, I have no doubt that if it came to pass that we'd be there in less then a NY minute.

Did you listen to Romney's entire speech in Israel? I did. It made me ill.

We're already voted a blank check ($9 billion is a blank check in my world).

Rand Paul voted for it (it was a voice vote)

Some days I just want to punch Romney in the face. With a jackhammer.

This is what the official campaign was trying to pass as Ron's position, and is precisely why I was so opposed to it.

Yah, HUGE difference between saying a sovereign nation has the right to act in its own interest and defense, and saying we'll back any decision that nation makes, to the end.

Back? As in engage?? After the fallout? Israel can pick it's own fights, but don't drag us into it.

I was driving back to work today and Hannity had Buchanan on so I listened. Hannity tries as hard as he can to fear-monger and spout off his war propaganda, but Buchanan is so knowledgeable about the politics of that region he runs complete circles around Hannity.

Hannity is really limited. Have to give him credit for persevering despite his lack of acumen.
