Romney's team gives Israel green light to attack Iran.

The Obama Administration and the American military must be seething angry at Mitt's senior national security aide, Dan Senor, for making a public statement affirming that Mitt Romney would back up Israel if they unilaterally attacked Iran.

That is a vile attempt to put the Obama Administration into a corner, having to publicly speculate which side it would support, if Israel were to launch a unilateral attack against Iran's nuclear facilities, and it basically gives Israel the green light.

There was zero qualification for Mitt's support of an attack against Israel, and it comes less than a month into the EU and US oil sanctions that have cut Iran's exports by as much as 40% without a resulting oil price shock.


Simply reading David Sanger's book, one would know that the issue of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities is far more complicated than simply firing some rockets.  Mitt's political team is playing a dangerous game by pushing the issue front and center, boasting as if they're tough guys.


I am frustrated by the amateurishness of Mitt's team, and by the constant unforced errors they've committed in such a short time.  I do not want this man in charge of our national security, as he is dangerous and takes political rhetoric lightly, as if he can have a do-over and change his mind, the second after he's made a mistake.
