(The Blaze/AP) Republican contender Rick Santorum says that if he’s elected president, he would bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities unless they were opened up for international arms inspectors.
The former Pennsylvania senator says President Barack Obama hasn’t done enough to prevent the Iranian government from building a nuclear weapon and has risked turning the U.S. into a “paper tiger.”
Santorum tells NBC television’s “Meet the Press” that he would tell Iranian leaders that either they open up those facilities, begin to dismantle them and make them available to inspectors — or the U.S. would attack them.

“SANTORUM: I would say to every foreign scientist that’s going to Iran to help them with their program,’You will be treated as an enemy combatant like an Al Qaeda member,’ and finally I would be working openly with the state of Israel and I would be saying to the Iranians; ‘You need to open up those facilities, you begin to dismantle them and make them available to inspectors or we will those facilities with air strikes and make it very public.’
GREGORY: You would lay out a red line and if they pass it, air strikes?
SANTORUM: Iran would not get a nuclear weapon under my watch.”
The Obama administration, like President George W. Bush’s administration, has focused primarily on international diplomacy and economic penalties to try to pressure Iran into abandoning its nuclear program. Iran contends its efforts are for peaceful purposes.

Posted on January 2, 2012 at 1:24amHere we go again. Verbatim:
“The Iraq War was a conflict that occurred in Iraq from March 20, 2003 to December 15, 2011. It began with the invasion of Iraq by the US under the administration of President Bush and the UK under Prime Blair. Prior to the invasion, the governments of the US and the UK asserted that the possibility of Iraq employing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threatened their security and that of their coalition/regional allies. In 2002, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1441 which called for Iraq to completely cooperate with UN weapon inspectors to verify that it was not in possession of weapons of mass destruction and cruise missiles. The UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) was given access by Iraq under provisions of the UN resolution but found no evidence of weapons of mass destruction. Additional months of inspection to conclusively verify Iraq’s compliance with the UN disarmament requirements were not undertaken… Some U.S. officials also accused Iraqi President Saddam Hussein of harboring and supporting al-Qaeda, but no evidence of a meaningful connection was ever found. Other reasons for the invasion given by the governments of the attacking countries included Iraq’s financial support for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, Iraqi government human rights abuse, and an effort to spread democracy to the country.” (Wikipedia)

Since 2001, medical personnel at the Basra hospital in southern Iraq have reported a sharp increase in the incidence of child leukemia and genetic malformation among babies born in the decade following the Gulf War. Iraqi doctors attributed these malformations to possible long-term effects of DU, an opinion which was echoed by several newspapers.[78][107][108][109] In 2004, Iraq had the highest mortality rate due to leukemia of any country.[110] The International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons (ICBUW) has made a call to support an epidemiological study in the Basra region, as asked for by Iraqi doctors,[111] but no peer-reviewed study has yet been undertaken in Basra.
A medical survey, “Cancer, Infant Mortality and Birth Sex Ratio in Fallujah, Iraq 2005–2009″ published in July 2010, states that the “Increase in cancer and birth defects…are alarmingly high” and that infant mortality 2009/2010 has reached 13.6%. The group compares the dramatic increase, five years after the actual war 2004, or exposure, with the lymphoma Italian peacekeepers [112]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium

Posted on January 2, 2012 at 9:50amGreat plan Santorum! We can just bomb the hell out of Iran and there will be no repercussions. This surely won‘t lead to war with Iran as they won’t mind a few missiles killing their people and destroying their infrastructure. And we can be positive that they won’t retaliate in anyway whatsoever. Oh yeah, so they do have that military alliance with Syria. And Russia and China have strategic interests with Iran. But why worry about that? You don’t have to think about how attacking Iran could lead to World War 3 as long as you get to talk tough in front of the camera. Anyway, Iran is just a third rate nation that just happens to be 2 and 1/2 times the size of Texas and has the world’s 17th largest economy. But yeah, attacking Iran won’t wreck the global economy at all. $200 a barrel oil would probably make the economy stronger, right?

They have always been the one attacked! Talk about track records. We went into Iraq on false pretenses. The mustard gas that someone else alluded to was complements of the good ol’ USofA. So was the training, etc. Then Libya, funding, aiding and abetting the ‘enemy’ aka al qaeda. There’s more on the list as well. People need to get their head out of their backsides and understand what is going on right in front of their faces!
Many of these people calling for war own stock and shares in defense companies. They make PILES of money with every war. They don’t want wars to stop. NO! That would mean they couldn’t make money! They NEED the wars to continue to line their pockets. WAKE UP for Christ’s sake. A fuel rod is NOT a NUKE! They are needed to produce energy as well. Japan’s system was blowing fuel rods into the ocean. Did that mean they Nuked someone? IF we attack Iran, China and Russia will jump in on Iran’s side and THERE WILL BE WWIII! For heaven’s sake, people..THINK for a change instead of letting the media do it for you!

Posted on January 2, 2012 at 10:36amAnd I’m sure it will just be airstrikes. Do you not believe that if the US was to openly attack Iran, that Iran would not retaliate in some way? Add on the same old situation where it will be deemed that the country needs a regime change in order to ensure peace….
Anyone believing in such actions against a somewhat developed nation without the need for soldiers to invade is naive. If it happens, it may not be the same conflict, but just like Iraq, they’ll find an excuse to invade the country in the future.

In a perfect world, not going to war would be great but this is not a perfect world and is getting more dangerous every day. If we brought all our troops home as some would suggest, it would not be long before we would be surrounded by our enemies and then it is too late. The Constitution is not going to help us then.

Posted on January 2, 2012 at 3:29pmLet us all be transparent and intellectually honest in regard to Iran. First, they are indeed led by a very radical theocracy. President Ahmadinejad has stated numerous times, on US soil and abroad his clear intentions to wipe us as well as Israel off the map. When is the last time a head of state has so openly and unapolegetically made such statements towards another nation(s)? Though the threat of Iran is very real, does this conclude we must engage in airstrikes or military action? Perhaps, we maybe left with no other choice? How long are we willing to wait before the words of a madman become reality? i.e Hitler? As a whole, no one wants to see war or watch family and friends go off to war. However, burying our heads in the sand because we are tired of talking about it doesn’t negate the realities of the world. How well did it work for us pre WWII when we tried to take a Isolationist approach?

Posted on January 2, 2012 at 4:02pmLet’s be honest. Regarding that overly spread quote. Amadinejack never said that he wants to wipe Israel off the map. That is a translation made by those who would like to intimidate us through manufactured fear and propaganda. He never referred to the land mass of Israel. For Pete’s sake, one of the holiest sites in the Muslim world is in Jerusalem. The last thing they would do is destroy their own holy site, much less nuke it. Heck, he never said Israel either. He said Zion, referring to Jerusalem. And he said he would like to end the regime present in Zion. That is totally different from wiping Israel off the map. Heck, we ourselves changed the “regime” in Iraq. This better interpretation makes absolute sense with the Bible. Look at Psalms 83 and Zechariah 14 wherein all Nations are gathered against Jerusalem (they don’t nuke it), and God alone defends and fights for Israel. They don’t want to destroy, wipe out, or obliterate the land of Israel. What they don’t want there is the “regime” or “Zionist rule” present there. I am totally against Iran or any Muslim nation taking over Israel, but let’s get the facts straight. He has never said that he will nuke the US or Israel. That is totally fabricated. The man is a madman, but even he knows it would be idiotic for him to say that, as that would be a declaration of war against the greatest military. If we want war, let’s DECLARE WAR by Congress. Fight it, win it, and come back home. No Nation building.

Posted on January 1, 2012 at 9:46pmAnother war hungry Republican. We may have a bigger military than Iran; add Russia & China to the mix we do not look so tough. Then add the cost of another war, the loss of life, the absolute havoc a war will create on our economy due to skyrocketing oil and commodity prices, what the heck do we gain? The Arab Spring has worked out real well in our favor. Egypt, Libya & Tunisia, secular countries before the uprisings are now turning towards islamic fundamentalist governments. Let’s not forget the recent comment from the Afghanistan government saying they will side with Pakistan if there is a conflict. Iraq and Iran are now getting in bed with each other due to their shared religious beliefs of Shia Islam.
We can not just go in an blow up the nuke plants (that we know about), because they will just rebuild them. The only way we would win a war against Iran is to turn the country into glass. No one in our govt, including Santorum has the b@lls to do that. With our ridiculous rules of engagement & political correctness it will be another 10 yrs or more of armed conflict. Unfortunately, China (who will jump in to protect Iran because of their oil interests) has a larger population to spare so they already have an advantage over us. With such great success we have had over the past 10 yrs I can not wait to see the outcome of WWIII. I think I will invest in Rosetta Stone and learn a few new languages. Once the land of the free the USA now = War Machine.

Posted on January 1, 2012 at 10:01pmThe USA has squandered all the leadership we ever had over the past 50 years. I don’t trust anything that comes from DC, Iran with nukes? well that sucks but we can’t invade the entire planet. The US should be the best friend a nation could have to a very few, neutral to most and if something were to happen the worst nightmare any nation could imagine. The US is none of those, we politically failed at every war we ever fraught since Vietnam, Iraq at first had everyone in the middle east afraid of us until we started nation building and lost sight of the victory. Should have left the day Saddam was caught and we would have won. No wars, and if we are attacked then the attacking nation should be glowing green.

I get what you‘re saying and I’d prefer non of those countries left us in shambles, too, but the point is, if we end up completely broke, not only will we not be able to sustain any more wars on foreign soil but WE WON’T BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO DEFEND OURSELVES ON OUR OWN SOIL!!! Do you think the money supply is endless?
We need to get our priorities straight and starting a war with a small country that has no real military to speak of and certainly can‘t reach our soil just doesn’t make sense to me. Israel has the fire power to defend herself and if we start bombing Iran, their big nasty friends who DO have the ability to mess us up just might take the opportunity to do so. And for what? What’s the end goal?

It is the height of absurdity and naivete to think aggressions against Iran would stop at only airstrikes. Amazing useful idiot Santorum supporters are utterly ignorant of what REAL conservatism is, and Rick Santorum DOES NOT represent it, he represents the exploitation of Christian evangelicals for the neo-conservative ends. You people who do not believe me I implore you to ACTUALLY do some homework instead of devouring prepacked propaganda off of Fox News or the neocon hacks on talk radio.
If you neocon useful idiots/progressive Wilsonian Trotskyites actually knew what sort of people you support you would be revolted at this revelation. Look into the roots of neo-conservatism, learn its Trotskyist roots, learn of the Leo Strauss then see the progression over the years. Some of neo-conservatisms most prominent voices even would call themselves Wilsonians, and Im sure you all know who that alludes to. As you read of neo-conservatism you will find how these destructive people(who BTW hold no allegiance to any nation just as a parasite holds no allegiance to its host) have infiltrated our government on all levels and in both parties.

It was those war stories that the pilots told Paul about which turned him into an anti-war pacifist and future GOP carpet bag’gng impotent Libertarian.
Brings tears to me eyes… the stories….

Posted on January 1, 2012 at 8:07pmRon Paul is the only one that I have heard speak out on the new world order and the danger we are in as a country. I don’t think anyone else would consider the matter.
I still think the new world order if too far along to stop, but with one world marxism, we would all be slaves. If the one elected doesn’t fit the illuminati agenda, they would probably be assasinated anyways.
Jessie Ventura denounced his citizenship and moved to Mexico.

Posted on January 1, 2012 at 8:06pmIs Santorum running for the position of god? What did we do when the old Soviet Premier Kruschev said, “We will bury you”? Does Red China, Russia, Pakistan, and our other buddy North Korea have nuclear weapons? Why hasn’t something been done about those countries? Hell, even our troops can’t fire at our enemies unless they are fired upon first! Viet Nam, don’t shoot unless they shoot first. What a bunch of BS. Bomb Iran my ass!

Posted on January 1, 2012 at 8:30pmOstrich Policy? Yeah, provoking the ENTIRE world by bombing Iran is smart and prudent. WOW, WOW, WOW – I better stop reading comments b/c I lose more hope that way than any other way. I am becoming more and more convinced I will be struck down defending my little piece of turf.

Posted on January 1, 2012 at 8:05pmI agree. My guess is the 2012 election is why. Although I would like to believe Santorum does not follow Obummer in putting politics above country. My vote is still with him.

Posted on January 1, 2012 at 7:57pmPeople who are idelists and fanatics such as the leaders in Iran only understand the sake of force for the usasge of terror it inspires.
Second though is they do understand the way the US traditionally does it – to warn what happens if they intitialte hostilites; this is called “the fear of the APPLICATION of force.” or in short, we will make them howl for so long and loud the screams will still be heard echoing for 1000 years to come.

Posted on January 1, 2012 at 7:54pmI dunno… I like Santorum, but there is a helluva lot more to this than meets the eye. I don’t think that China or Russia would sit idly by as we bomb Iran. However, I do appreciate Santorum’s depth of knowledge of the Middle East. This may be a bit extreme, but no doubt an effective way of making our intentions known…

Posted on January 1, 2012 at 8:16pmI’m not sure how I would want to see it handled, but I’m thinkng it would be a coordinated effort with Israel. And maybe let them carry out the strikes on reactors with strong American support. Confine strikes to reactors only.Thats my first thought anyway. I would think that Russia and China might not get too upset if it was done that way. Then they could just sell Iran more stuff to rebuild and trade for oil with little disruption in their relationship to Iran………But what do I know?
