Of course it is. That’s what the base wants. That foreign policy debate clarified things for me. I had been trying to convince myself to vote for Newt, but after that debate, I decided I cannot vote for another hubristic, arrogant neocon. No thanks.
What’s the alternative look like? A nuclear Iran may kill millions of people. Think what might of happened if we intervened before hitler built his military machine. I certainly don’t want to go in and fight another war with our hands tied behind our back. But I could support an air campaign or support Israel if they will do the deed.
So who does that leave?
Obama hasn't taken war off the table with Iran either. Romney and Newt see war with Iran as the last option of many options and only after those have failed.
