You have a good point about how fast things change globally. This could be taken care of while Bush #43 is in office. The Iranian timetable to develop nuclear weapons is not that far into the future, unless the bombing in Syria set them back a lot.

It also sends a message to the Iranian leadership on what they would have to look forward to when the candidates speak out on this issue.

Thanks!

"When asked how their powers combined could take on Clinton, Thompson said the party should not worry as much about Clinton as about itself. “I think we win by adhering to strong conservative principles,” Thompson said. “If we react to her and try to finesse and try to obsess about that, I think we’re playing right into their hands. I think we need to concentrate on what we ought to do. It is not our candidate versus her. It is our candidate and the American people. That’s what it all comes down to.”

Even if it wasn't Fred saying this, it would have gotten a standing O from me. (bold is mine)

"Language usage and it’s phraseing is a politician’s stock in trade."

I do agree with that... do we yet know the definition of is?

Yet does it [the Thompson quote] really reach the point of Clinton doublespeak? IMHO, that's a huge accusation, considering the Clintonian machine behind their doublespeak.

I do find myself leaning toward Fred, just so you know. I read it more as 'down to earth' delivery whereas you see it as 'politickin', so I'm interested in hearing your point of view.

That’s not important. But what is is leaving no room for doubt in the minds of Iranian leadership. They are taking our pulse everyday.

Yes, that's true. Do you think the terror masters in Iran are more or less intimidated by Romney knowing that legal permission rather than military necessity is top-of-mind for him?

[daylilly]

Thank you, I’ve believed this concept for a long time. Even if I wasn’t supporting Fred. Sometimes, things get bad and we get sidetracked, but if we want to win this is what we have to do.

Fred ‘Gets It”...That’s why he’ll get my vote.

I don’t know what your ping list is about, but if it is about Middle East issues, there are two new articles out today about Iran.

President Bush answered a question and referred to World War III in connection with Iran. This link has a video clip:

Syria [according to Fox news] says Israel bombed a nuke facility:

I thought these relate to this thread, they might also deserve their own threads. There is a thread up about the presidential news conference.

Admin moderator, do these items deserve to be breaking news or not?

[SunkenCiv]

There are a number of topics about the Israeli preemptive strike on Syria (whatever was down there, it ain’t there anymore), including a few suggesting it was a nuclear plant, or had nuclear warheads or parts thereof. Try the keywords for “israel” or “syria”.

[daylilly]

There is a new thread just posted, that has video of the entire speech plus Q&A after the speech:

Iran is already threatening to use them.
