    Santorum: "Load up the bombers and bomb Iran back to the 7th Century"

    This is just one quote from Iowa candidate's conference, multiple candidate's quotes in article.

    http://news.yahoo.com/among-rivals-i...-election.html

    DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Republicans wooing Iowa's most active party members called Saturday for a stronger presence in the world but ran the gamut in tone and just how tough to get with America's enemies.

    On Armed Services Day — and a day the Obama administration reported killing a senior Islamic State leader in Syria — most of the nearly dozen GOP presidential prospects at a state party dinner called for a more confrontational stance toward Iran.

    Former Sen. Rick Santorum's answer for handling Iran, one of four countries on the U.S. list of nations accused of repeatedly supporting global terrorism, was to "load up our bombers and bomb them back to the seventh century."

    Earlier in the day, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush praised U.S. commandos who had reportedly killed the IS leader, described as the head of oil operations for IS. Bush gave no credit to Obama, whom Bush accused of allowing the rise of IS by pulling back U.S. forces from Iraq.

    "It's a great day, but it's not a strategy," Bush told reporters in eastern Iowa.

    Although Bush joked lightly about the confused statements he made in recent days about whether he would have ordered the attack in Iraq in 2003, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul told the GOP gathering Saturday night that it was a "valid question" to ask presidential candidates whether they would have invaded Iraq and toppled Saddam Hussein.

    Republican presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul speaks during the Iowa Republican Party's Linco …
    "We have to question: Is Iraq more stable or less stable since Hussein is gone?" asked Paul, who espouses some of the hands-off foreign policy of his father, former Texas Rep. Ron Paul.

    South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham tried to reject any assertion that the existing problems in Iraq were the result of the Republican president who ordered the invasion, Bush's brother George W. Bush.

    "The person I blame is Barack Obama, not George W. Bush," said Graham, who criticized Obama for keeping a campaign promise to withdraw combat troops from Iraq. Of George W. Bush, Graham said, "He made the best decision he could."

    Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, as did others, accused Obama of not taking the threat of Islamic State militants seriously. Perry pointed to claims by the militant group, disputed by terrorism experts, that it was behind the assault on a Texas cartoon contest that featured images of the Prophet Muhammad.

    "You see ISIS showing up in Garland, Texas," Perry said. "You realize this is a challenging world we live in."

    Aside from the nuances on Republican policy toward Iran and IS militants in Iraq, the GOP presidential prospects were united in taking jabs at Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. They linked Clinton to Obama and mocked her for not fielding more questions during her campaign events.

    Former business executive Carly Fiorina said that if Clinton is going to run for president, "she is going to have to answer some questions." Paul joked about whether Clinton "ever takes any questions." Earlier in the day Bush said he had taken between 800 and 900 questions, compared to a handful by Clinton.

    In one of the more specific broadsides against Clinton, Fiorina said the former first lady must not be president because "she is not trustworthy, she lacks a track record of leadership and her policies will crush the potential of this nation."

    Others who spoke at the Des Moines event, which roughly 1,300 Iowa Republicans attended, were former surgeon Ben Carson, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former New York Gov. George Pataki, businessman Donald Trump and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

    Walker, who appeared at an afternoon fundraiser for a Des Moines area county official, called for a stepped-up fight against terrorism.

    Having recently visited Israel and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Walker called the Obama administration's foreign policy to "draw a red line in the sand and allow people to cross it." Instead, he suggested that the United States "take the fight to them."

    Funny that he mentions the 7th century. It means he's more dangerous than most would realize. He apparently paid attention in his history classes or this is sheer coincidence. The 8th century and a couple later are known for the giant advances in technology and science the Islamic world made. In those days they were, of course, far superior to medieval Europeans. So it's interesting that he picks the 7th century to bomb them back into..

    We already did that to Iraq and Afghanistan.

    How well has that worked out?

    Rand really does sound like the only realistic one in the bunch. Also note Walker going to hang out with Bibi and saying to take the 'fight' to the middle east.

    How can anyone not see that the Israeli govt is puppeteering these people??

    For the same reason that people do not see that black communities' problems are attributable to Democratic policies, rather than Whitey.

    That is, because such a thought is racist by definition and therefore doubleplusbad.

    Speaking of Walker, look who Kristol is talking up:

    Looks like Frothy is firmly anti-life.

    And no mention that the 'ISIS' oil minister is/was a SAUDI.

    Not to mention that the conquest of Iran by Islamic Arabs occurred in the 7th century.

    Apparently, Santorum wishes he could have given artillery support to the invading Muslims ...

    I'm sure the Russians and Chinese would be thrilled Rick. Don't forget that we are a deadbeat nation dependent on foreign capital.

    What's that saying? "Do unto others as you would HAVE THEM DO TO YOU?". Hypocritical much, Santy?

    Can we steal all of their oil first, before the bombing starts?

    I can't believe this guy has a national stage and legitimacy within the Republican party. To any reasonable person hearing this, he sounds absolutely insane.

    If Frothy wants to bomb Persia back to pre-Islamic/Zoroastrian times, he'll need a few more bombers to make sure they go back to the 6th century, because the Islamic conquest happened early in the 7th.

    So bombing the hell out of it is OK then? Does Santorum happen to come with a straight jacket and a gag?

    I may have missed it, can anyone post Frothy's exemplary military record? When did Frothy serve in the military, and when did he receive his honorable discharge?

    I have a better idea, how about we load up a plane and drop Frothy into Iran, parachute optional.
