Is Mitt Being Neoconned Into War?
July 31, 2012
By Patrick Buchanan



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 Israel’s right to defend itself and that it is right for America to stand with it.”

What does “stand with” Israel, if she launches a surprise attack on Iran, mean? Does it mean the United States will guide Israeli planes to their targets and provide bases on their return? Does it mean U.S. air cover while Israeli planes strike Iran?

This would make America complicit in a pre-emptive strike and a co-belligerent in the war to follow.

What Senor said comes close to being a U.S. war guarantee for Israel, while leaving the decision as to when the war begins to them.

This country has never done that before.

No, it hasn't, not to this degree.

Obamney's commitments to war started by Israel is over the top.

I'd only question this: does he even mean it?

Nothing else the man says can be taken at face value.

Whether it is Romney or another, this country uses Israel as a moral crutch to justify its meddling in the ME. What we are really doing is the Saudis bidding, but of course we can't be seen saying that.

A lot of people around here like to say Romney isn't a neocon...He just hasn't been given the oppurtuinty to prove it yet.

His foreign policy staff certainly are. But, in the past, Romney was a Rockefeller-Republican. Neither is a compliment, you know. ;)

Look at this "Puppet" reading off the teleprompters that his masters wrote for he to parrot. The presidency is a puppet placement today... distract on social issues, incite fear on monetary/global issues.

That speech in Israel is INSANE... if TPTB can't cut a deal with splitting the Iranian conquest profits, then R money strings will be pulled by his Masters in taking us to WWIII

Republican is an insult, so ading "rockefeller" to the beginning is only going to make it worse. lol

No, it's not. Or, did you forget that Ron Paul is a Republican and also a whole lot of us.

If Ron Paul does not win the nomination, we are doomed to WWIII. I see it as inevitable if either Obama or Romney is elected.

I'm a little cynical about this. Even if the "war on terror" is expanded into Saudi Arabia or whatever, that doesn't make it a "war"-it's just expanding the occupied territories. To me, a "war" is 2 or more forces engaging in battle on a battlefield of some kind. Murdering civilians like the western powers do in the occupied areas would be considered war crimes in a real war. I don't want a war at all, but if there must be one-do it the right way. Declare it and WIN it. No more occupations, murder, and war profiteering. :mad:

RP is a constitutionalist libertarian who uses the Republican party to achieve his goals. Many of the founders warned against political parties, and they were right.

Remember, this was right on top of a fundraiser. If you feed $100 bills into the little slot in the back of Romney's head, he will say whatever you want him to.

OTOH: you do not staff up with neocon foreign policy advisers if this isn't the direction we are headed.

Ah, the wonderful world of newspeak. They now call initiating a war with a sneak attack "pre-emptive".

Pearl Harbor must have been nothing more than a "pre-emptive" strike.

The government is an independent criminal racketeering organization and freely engages in turf wars. All financed with extortion money from you and I. Why are we surprised that Romney would jump to attack Iran?

My husband used to paint houses for the Jewish folks in Hollywood. He told me he could hear the the lady of the house phoning all the rich Jews and threatened them if they didn't send money to Israel.
We moved down here then and we were surprised that tax payers were sending money to Israel now
don't mind helping someone out but please our country is BROKE

Obama showed his intentions, with his own staff selection shortly after he entered office. Romney's foreign policy staff tell you everything you need to know. And he lays it out there for anyone who cares to look.

This is correct, but I will add that WW3 is already underway. WELL underway.

The full brunt of this reality has not yet hit. It will. And then it will get much, much worse.

Ron Paul will essentially end the wars? Yeah right. Hate to break it to you, but even with his "powers" one man can't override the will of the current tyranny.

That does not change the fact that he is a Republican and has been for well over 30 years.

That says nothing about whether he, you, or I LIKE political parties, or consider them anything more than vehicles to achieve goals.

Ron Paul is the reincarnation of Constantine, Jefferson, Thoreau, Cleveland, Hemingway and Coolidge. If we don't elect him, the biblical apocalypse will come and americawill die in a sea of tyrannical fire. We will then have to move to CANADA!!!!! If elected, Ron Paul will extend the republic by 150 years.

Dude, I think you've been reading too much on your favorite leftist sites that you love to link to so often. Rand is nothing like Willard.
