Romney would start Iraq War again
Edited on Tue Apr-03-07 01:10 PM by Poiuyt
Mitt Romney's press secretary, Kevin Madden, tells Chris Matthews on MSNBC's 'Hardball' that the 2008 GOP White House hopeful supports President Bush's decision for pre-emptive war in Iraq. Madden then answers several of Matthews' Iraq questions evasively, focusing instead on Romney's tough stance on fighting "the global jihad."

At one point, Madden says of Saddam Hussein, "All the intelligence pointed to the fact that he may have had weapons of mass destruction and ... we had to act," which triggers a contentious back-and-forth between Matthews and Madden.

Madden later pans Democrats: "When you look at people who just use words like 'hope' and 'wish,' that's not what's going to eradicate Islamic fascism across the globe; that's not what's gonna help us challenge the terrorists."

2. WTF?
"...that's not what's gonna help us challenge the terrorists."

But starting unnecessary wars against secular Arab regimes WILL help?

We invaded Iraq for a LOT of reasons. Fighting against "global jihad" was not one of them.
