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

Posted on 02/27/2012 5:36:10 PM PST by writer33

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.

The war on terror is a war of ideas. Everyone we kill has a brother, sister, cousin or friend. We can kill but it creates more enemies and unless we are willing to commit genocide and kill them all we can’t change their mind. How would Christ act?

You agree with Obama, when it says it does not want to go to war with Islam.

Islam or Islamic Iran with nuclear weapons will wipe out every American and all non-Muslims. That is the goal of Islam world domination and extermination of all things not Islamic including non Islamic peoples.

The fact of the matter is that regardless if America ever officially goes to war with Islam, Islam has been at war with America for decades.

After all that has occured with the multitude of Islamic attacks (both Shi’a and Sunni Islam) against this nation and it’s citizens in the past three decades, and Barack Hussein Obama says within the context of his presidential oath of office that America will never go to war in defense of our freedom and liberties against this enemy, this clear and present danger to our way of life?

And don’t let the faux distinction of segregating “moderate” from “extremist” or “radical” Muslims fool you. For if moderate Muslims existed they would be openly challenging and fighting against the radicals and extremists in order to save their “religion of peace.” But they don’t do this,

He’d want to save Jerusalem from being wiped out by a nuke.

Just a guess.

This is precisely why morons like yourself who probably, and ironically, labels himself as Christian are thankfully not leading our country. I hate it when posters write about their deluded nazi-like fantasies of wiping out an entire people. You dont like them, then fight for them to not be able to immigrate to our country.
Do people here not know that Pakistan which is probably the most dangerous muslim country has nuclear weapons. The country who harbored bin laden has nuclear weapons, and we are worried about iran, why?
If you actually knew anything about islam you would probably be more interested in pitting Sunni and Shiite against each other as opposed to handing the entire islamic world to the Sunnis; the people who attacked on 9/11. There is probably no other religion that they hate more than each other, and while the POTUS is busy installing his sunni islamic republics in all arab countries he is isolating the iranians and shiites in the region and giving all the power to the sunnis. At the same time he is not offering support for majority shiite countries like bahrain who were revolting against the sunni dictatorship. He is practically handing the region to the saudis.
Keeping these nations in check is the way to go and not overtly wipe people out for your own trashy un-christian bloodlust.

Islam has been at war with us for a long time.

It’s either fight Islam or surrender.Obviously you and Christie want to surrender. There is no compromise with Islam.We either go to war now or later when they have nuclear weapons. You are saying Christ wants surrender so that Islam or Islamic Iran can massacre us as they did on 9/11?

I think the majority of the citizens would agree to back Israel when they decide to strike. I do think that day will come when the evidence is more clear.

what's next...seriously...

It's easier to start a war then to end a war. Bush II never understood that fact, so now we're in not one but two Vietnams.

Does Santorum understand that fact? I don't think so.

Christianity is not a suicide pact.

What other religion, ON THIS PLANET, says kill someone if they don’t believe as you do. Answer: NONE. However, which political systems on the planet espouse that it is perfectly ok to kill someone if they don’t believe as you do?

Two:

Communism

and

Islam.

Both are Totalitarian systems.

My prayer: Live by the sword, oh Islam, and die by it as well. No Quarter.

The distinction between a Sunni and a Shite is only between a Sunni and a Shite.

To the rest of the world a moslen is a moslem.

And if you want to stop the mindless killing, exterminate Islam.

If a billion die to accomplish that, that is a job well done.

Unfortunately, I believe you are right.

If Obama sides with the Muslims, then he chose...

...unwisely.
