As if the Iranian people aren't suffering enough from current sanctions, Mitt Romney said today that he would use the threat of additional sanctions to deter Iran's nuclear capabilities and reverse planned cuts to the US military.
"I will put the leaders of Iran on notice that the United States and our friends and allies will prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons capability," Romney said in a speech at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. "I will not hesitate to impose new sanctions on Iran and will tighten the sanctions we currently have."
He also said he would restore the permanent presence of US aircraft carriers in the eastern Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, and work with Israel to contain any Iranian threat.
I seriously doubt, given the neocon advisers around him, that Romney would stop at sanctions. How's that John McCain song go, "Bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran"?
