Recovering From England Gaffe, Romney Boasts War With Iran

Moving on to a more hospitable environment, Mitt Romney has found his stride as he takes a militant stance with Israel against Iran. After all, what God fearing Republican doesn't want to bomb another third world Middle Eastern country? Look at how close they put their country to our 45 American military bases.

Some of the first words out of Romney's mouth were that military strikes would be "on the table" if he were president.

"Make no mistake: The ayatollahs in Tehran are testing our moral defenses. They want to know who will object, and who will look the other way," Romney says in a foreign policy speech set for Sunday afternoon. "My message to the people of Israel and the leaders of Iran is one and the same: I will not look away; and neither will my country." The Huffington Post 7/29/12

This stance isn't that different from President Obama, whose administration continues to push for sanctions as opposed to military action, but maintains the option is not off the table. Not breaking from tradition, Romney is not directly criticizing the president while on his overseas trip, however implications are peppered throughout.
