Rick Santorum Calls for a ‘Preemptive Strike’ if Iran Is Developing Nuclear Weapons

Western governments have gone out of their way to find accommodation with the regime who in response has resorted to the murder of thousands of British, American and other nationals through proxy terrorist groupuscules in Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere and speeding up of its military nuclear efforts. This diplomatic approach has failed drastically and now the best way forward is two-pronged. First, stifling oil, gas and petroleum boycott of the regime; and second, the co-operation of the civilized world with the democratic opposition forces who have been campaigning relentlessly for democracy in Iran. The National Council of Resistance of Iran’s platform envisages a secular, democratic Iran free of nuclear arms and equal opportunity for all citizens and co-operative and peaceful co-existence with Iran’s neighbours and the wider family of civilized nations. This platform is already enjoying the support of more than 4000 members of parliaments including majorities in over 30 democratic countries and is definitely worthy of support by all democratic Iranians as well as any government seriously interested in a modern Iran void of terrorism and barbaric violation of human rights and nuclear arms.

Should it be proven that the Iranian terrorist regime is not far from acquiring the bomb before being toppled, the only alternative to avoid the nightmare of a tyrannical terrorist regime becoming nuclear armed would be to first alert the Iranian people to evacuate the areas around targets to be destroyed and then to bombardment all of the nuclear arms centres and military barracks belonging to the terrorist Pasdaran as well as the headquarters of the regime’s terrorist leaders.

Yup you’re so right… Iran would NEVER try to acquire nuclear weapons and hide it in the form of a “nuclear energy program”. I don’t think you understand the kind of people who are running the show in Iraq (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for example? “Iran doesn’t have homosexuals” and the “holocaust was a lie”…. yea I really trust that guy with any nuclear capabilities). I have NO idea where you get off calling Iran an “innocent country”. They’re helping the Taliban in Afghanistan which is enough to put the blood of Americans on their hands. So go ahead and keep up with the support of this Islamic States and pretend like they won’t kill everyone who won’t conform to their beliefs. I wish you were right.

Well, we should all know the guy that shouldn’t become president. Wars are costly. Had we not engaged in unnecessary wars, we’d likely not be experiencing our economic downturn. Now that we are, we most certainly cannot afford to pour more money down the hole. Let somebody else do the dirty work this time.

Last time a Republican president called fot a preemptive strike, we all know how that went.
And the irony and callousness of Santorum’s statement lay in that Iraq was keeping Iran in check.

Santorum is a war mongering idiot. A war with Iran is just whwt we need now. The Republican Party is still controlled by the same Jewish neo-cons (Kristol, Feith, Perle, Wolfiwitz, Abrams) that helped fabricate info on Iraqs WMD’s and Iraqs links to Al-Quadia in our last pre-emptive war. Israel’s government has been taken over by religious fanatics that more than match the ayatollahs and I fear Israel’s nucleur arms as much as the possibility of Iran getting them since Israel’s religious fanatics have an expansionist, messianic goal of a greater Israel. Nearly 100 members of Congress went to Israel since this summer (mainly Republicans) on week long all expenses paid junkets funded by AIPAC where they pledged their allegiance to Israel. There is no way that I will vote for a Republican in the next election since they wil,l get us into another war. Iran is no “paper tiger” like we claimed Iraq and Afganistan were and how did those wars turn out. When Iran closes the Gulf of Hormuz oil prices will skyrocket to double our present gas prices and send our economy and Europes into a tailspin. This time it wiil tear the country apart since I guarantee there will be demonstrations against it. You might not be aware of the religious fanaticism in Israel so go to google or youtube and type-in “israeli settlers” to meet the neighbors from hell that control the Israeli government. They are 500,000 strong, heavily armed, and view non-Jews as sub-human. Their allegiance is more to their fanatical Rabbis than to the government that supports them. Cut off all aid to Israel and make it clear to them that if they attack Iran they are on their own. Also vote yes to Palestinian statehood.

That is so “yesterday”, in terms of a feasible solution.

Any such effort, would have to be literally massive…….a complete obliteration of the entire country, in a single strike. That isn’t really feasible, without using the weapons we don’t want to use.

Face it. We have to prepare to wipe out an entire country, but to do so, would be so horrific a move, that we would have to wait for them to take the first action, and that means massive destruction, against us, to start with.

When and if Iran develops nuclear weapons, and they will, then WW 3 is simply a given.

Do you have any idea what would happen to this country if a nuclear weapon was detonated in a major city? They knocked down two buildings in New York City and it cost this country a trillion dollars. It would bring this nation to it’s knees. In Iran they routinely throw suspected homosexuals off the roofs of buildings. They have already threatened to turn Israel into a radioactive wasteland. As before, the Israelis should carry out the strike but if they fail, Santorum is correct. Like it or not, we need to protect ourselves.

OH YEAH.. let’s all get on that bandwagon.. DO UNTO OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO YOU!

the Republican/ Military industrial complex is at it again. Create jobs by going to war.. let’s see you need the fighters, the weapons, transportation, more doctors and nurses, and then billions to clean up the devastation… Sure makes sense… NOT!
