Here is mine: What does Duncan Hunter recommend in dealing with Iran. Is he willing to use Military force to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons?
Pissant my FRiend, I would never pretend to speak for Congressman Hunter, or for his son Sam, but my guess about how he might respond to a question like that (being an Army Ranger Veteran himself) is that he would never rule in, or rule out ANY option when dealing with Iran, including the use of military force. It is sometimes best not to telegraph our intentions, but to keep our enemies guessing as to how we're going to respond. Let them fear the worst, I say.
I think that based on my own knowledge of the Congressman's positions, that when the Iranians wake up on a very cold 20th of January 2009 to hear the words "I, Duncan Lee Hunter, do solemnly swear..." that they would know the kind of apprehension that their terrorist ancestors knew on the morning of January 20th, 1981. America under the leadership of President Hunter will live by the Reagan philosophy that in order to preserve the peace, one must be prepared for war, i.e. 'peace through strength'.
That is why Iran chose not to test President Reagan because they knew he was made of sterner stuff than his abysmal and impotent predecessor.
Just my .02 cents, I defer to Sam and his Dad for the 'official position'! ;)

(If Reagan were still with us, he'd ask us to "win one more for the Gipper, vote for Duncan Hunter!")

I like it. I'm sure Hunter would too.
