Santorum: Strike Iran Before It Has Nuclear Weapons
Newsmax ^ | 02/27/12 | Jim Meyers and Kathleen Walter

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says the United States must be prepared to use missile strikes and air strikes against the Iranians if they continue their nuclear weapons development program.

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV on the eve of the Michigan and Arizona primaries, Santorum was asked what actions he would take today to address the Iranian nuclear threat.

“I would work hand in glove with the Israelis trying to discern the state of the Iranian nuclear program and then I would take actions accordingly,” he says.

I can’t say I like Santorum, but I am disliking him less as time goes by. ABR+ABO

“I would work hand in glove with the Israelis trying to discern the state of the Iranian nuclear program and then I would take actions accordingly,” Santorum says.”

Get ready for some new parking lots in Iran where science buildings once stood.

That is a massive message to Israel. And to Iran.

Where would Santorum want this strike which would kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people..If he makes it, he will lose..he's beginning to showcase his incapability of being a commander and chief through his immaturity.

what's next...seriously...

Iran is evil because they are Islamic. Islam is evil . Are you pro Iran or pro Islam?

Mecca, Iran and Medina need to be wiped off the map ASAP. Islam is a great threat to our survival.

Santorum wants this strike which would PREVENT the killing of hundreds of thousands OR MILLIONS of innocent people in Israel.

Our main objective should be to focus on American independence of foreign oil ( away from Iran, Irag, Saudi Arabia, Libya and Venezuela), getting our fiscal house in order, repairing the unconstitutional polices of Obama. Israel should be able to take care of Iran and if it need be as Newt has said, the US would back them. The US should not do a preempted strike or even suggest this as he has. Very immature.

Christie.......you obviously do not comprehend the extended ramifications of the situation. That’s why God put men in charge. Go back to the beach and work on your tan. We’ll handle it.

As president I would go to war with Iran.Islam and Iran have to be dealt with now before they get nuclear weapons.

It’s not immature it is survival. Have any of you any knowledge of Islam? learn : http://www.faithfreedom.org/ 9/11/2001 , how soon we forget.

Believe what you think. It is my opinion to allow Israel to strike. US backs them up. Fact remains he is very immature.
