Key Excerpts Of Governor Romney's Remarks At Yeshiva University (As Prepared For Delivery):

Governor Romney: "Today, America faces a number of critical challenges. In my view, at the top of the list is the threat of radical, violent Jihad and the associated threat of nuclear proliferation. I think many of us, including many of our leaders, fail to comprehend the extent of this threat. Take former President Jimmy Carter. President Carter thinks that Israel's security fence is the thing that keeps peace from coming to the Holy Land. Having just been to Israel, I came to the opposite conclusion: the security fence is keeping peace in Israel - it is helping prevent bloodshed and terror and violence."

Governor Romney: "We are faced with the horrific proposition that those who speak of genocide are developing the capability to carry it out. Radical, nuclear Jihad is the greatest threat that faces humanity. It cannot be appeased. It can only be defeated."

Governor Romney: "First, I would appoint a senior American official to serve as Ambassador-at-Large to Prevent Nuclear Terror. He or she would have the authority and resources to work across agencies and departments in the United States to ensure that our strategies are coordinated here, and abroad."

It's a good press release but I thought that this quote was particularly relevant given that Barrack Obama, when asked to name the three most important allies the US has, he failed to mention Israel.

Anyway, this release is presented for your information.

[Reaganesque]

Ping.

Can he locate it on the map?

Bttt!

The moderator, Brian Williams, called him on his omission. Obama stammered that Israel was, of course, an important ally, yada, yada, yada. Not a good moment for Mr. Obama.

[Army Air Corps]

Obama probably only calls it “Occupied Palestine.”

My observation about the ME is thatthe Israeli's set up their country as innovators, producers and builders. Its neighbors could do the same thing with their nations, but they don’t care to learn or do anything new. To them I would be better to tear Israel down so it would be a a waste land like their own countries.

The arab maps used in the world-wide madrassas do not show the existance of Israel.

Fourth, We Must Make It Clear To The Iranian People That While Nuclear Capabilities May Be A Source Of Pride, It Can Also Be A Source Of Peril. If nuclear material from their nation falls into the hands of terrorists and is used, it would provoke a devastating response from the civilized world. The military option remains on the table.

BINGO

Making Nuclear Trafficking A Crime Against Humanity
Thinking like an idiot lawyer, draft a criminal statute and you legislate away crime.
What a f'ing moron! Maybe you and Dingy Harry would write legislation against all forms of terrorism...GUESS WHAT, MORONS, TERRORISTS DON'T CARE ABOUT LAWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reaganesque]

Thanks for the input. Feel better now?

[Stayfree]

yes, but it won’t change the fact that he only thinks like a lawyer, and not like a conservative.
