Full story here.Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says that if terrorists detonated a nuclear bomb in a U.S. city while he was president he would retaliate "in a very dramatic and clear way." Posed that scenario while campaigning Friday in this early primary state, Romney said he didn't want to say much more.
"The answer is you would retaliate and you'd retaliate in a very dramatic and clear way. I don't want to be terribly more specific than that," the former Massachusetts governor said.
"But there's no question that people understand that the reason that we have the thousands upon thousands of nuclear warheads we have is that we intend to protect ourselves. And I would never shrink from protecting the American nation, the American people, nor shrink from retaliation if somebody used something as awful as a nuclear device. We will be safe."
Mitt clearly has a different thought process than Obama. Mitt will be a responsible caretaker of the United States, protecting us from those who may do us tremendous harm. Barack, in contrast, removes the nuclear deterrence from the table with the following:
"I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance."
As much as you hope to never use such weapons, they've got to be on the table. The bad guys must know we can and will (you listening, Obama?) use them if necessary.
