Questioner: I think it had to do with the fact that the Iranians perceived Reagan… That’s why I’m suggesting that something that you say over the next few months gets the Iranians to understand that their pursuit of the bomb is something that you would prevent. And I think that’s something that could possibly resonate very well with the American public.
Romney: I appreciate the idea. One of the things that’s frustrating to me is that in a typical day like this, when I do three or four events like this, the number of foreign policy questions I get are between zero and one. And the American people are not concentrated at all on China, on Russia, Iran, Iraq. This President’s failure to put in place a status of forces agreement allowing ten to twenty thousand troops to stay in Iraq- unthinkable! And yet, in that election, in the Jimmy Carter election, the fact that we had hostages in Iran, I mean, that was all we talked about. And we had the two helicopters crash in the desert, I mean, that was the focus, and so him solving that made all the difference in the world. I’m afraid today that if you simply got Iran to agree to stand down on nuclear weapons, they’d go, “Now hold on. It’s really a-” I mean, if something of that nature presents itself I will work to find a way to take advantage of the opportunity.
hmmm....is this dude secretly in his heart of hearts actually hoping something bad happens so that he can get an inside track on a damn election?! I hope not, but I really would be feeling some type of way if I were in the armed forces seeing this guy who could be commander in chief making remarks like this
:x
Fast forward to 9/11/12 Libyan embassay gets attacked by protestors and here's good ole Mitt's FIRST remarks on the matter:
“I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”
Honestly I can't with this man anymore, he literally will sink to any level to get an advantage in an election, and it backfires on him every time![SMH :smh: :smh:](/styles/default/xenforo/NTemojis/smh.gif)
