Wow. Outstanding, thank you so much for finding and posting this!!

I know Mitt Romney has been using the term Global Jihad for at least a year now, if not more. He makes a point of it, and I know he “gets it.”

[libbylu]

Just damn!!! I am impressed.

[La Enchiladita]

Must-read Ping.
Romney is the man who best addresses our most crucial issue of National Security.
(Wish Cheney would endorse him:)

[Nevadan]

“In short, if elected, Romney will try to destroy the mother ship, McCain will supply the trenches, Clinton will pull the troops back to the barracks and Obama will visit the foes’ bunkers.”

great analysis!

[Joann37]

Great! This is one endorsement that matters a lot!

[Joann37]

I should have added “for the right reasons”. The author clearly spells out the positions and differences with the two dems, plus McCain, and makes a compelling argument for Romney.

Hopefully this endorsement doesn’t come too late.

Good find.

Just like with Rudy, the ONLY reason to vote Pub for some of these guys is the WOT.

[Quix]

Impressive piece.

However, the globalists have already decided most things . . . including the use of the Jihadi’s to scare everyone into the tyrannical global government.

Thankfully, God will have some surprises up His sleeve for them along the way . . . though they will be in power 3.5-7 years or so.

“In short, if elected, Romney will try to destroy the mother ship, McCain will supply the trenches, Clinton will pull the troops back to the barracks and Obama will visit the foes’ bunkers.

“I recommend Governor Romney for the Republican primaries as first among equals, while believing Senator McCain to be a genuine leader. If Romney is selected, I believe America may have a chance to defeat this enemy with new strategies. If his contender is selected, we will have four or eight more years of the past seven years.”

That’s gotta hurt McCain a lot. Go, Mitt!!

[NordP]

Thanks for the ping...at least their daughter Liz endorsed Romney!

[Nevadan]

If you were to describe Ron Paul’s or Huckabee’s approach to global terrorism and put it in a nutshell as the author of the article did (In short, if elected, Romney will try to destroy the mother ship, McCain will supply the trenches, Clinton will pull the troops back to the barracks and Obama will visit the foes' bunkers) what would you say?

[NYC Republican]

GO MITT!!!!!!!!

[K-oneTexas]

I would agree. Clinton we have seen treated them as common criminal ... problem was they were untouchable by Law Enforcement.

[matthew fuller]

Great article, thanks for posting it!

[La Enchiladita]

John Bolton for President Romney's Secretary of State.

[Hawthorn]

I believe Romney would rely on the best experts for advice in areas where he doesn’t have experience in depth, like foreign and military affairs.

McCain, in spite of his self-vaunted experience in national security, is pig-headed and petty. Would he seek and act upon the best available advice from his Admirals and Generals?

I think the question answers itself.

I am among those who believe -- and see -- that this country (and other democracies) are marked for violence, aggression and terror.

Yet, we are led to believe that the most threatening thing we face is GLOBAL WARMING and health care...

Thanks for the ping. It is a fantastic article!

[gruna]

There are so many reasons to prefer Romney over McCain.

[neverdem]

BTTT!
