One at a time, Ron, one at a time, no matter how long it takes, wherever, whenever. I didn't say wipe out a whole race of people, but the muslim extremist dirtbags that are hell bent on killing you, myself and that god hating Ed from Ellenville.

By any means necessary and if that includes cameras, checking out overseas communications, barking dogs a little loud music and YES, YES, YES, help from other foreign governments (Thank you Germany).

The previous administration treated such "acts" as criminal instead of terroristic which changes the whole parameter of how to combat and fight the issue.

I would not care one bit if the Germans beat the living snot out of somebody if it meant getting the information that was used to CAPTURE and STOP these muslim extremist dirtbags from killing any AMERICAN, any AMERICAN.

Would you so progressive thinkers be angry if it was found that they used certain tactics to STOP this planned attack or would you rather have seen people die?

Michael, Gallatin, TN, thank you for your post. I'm with you in your fight to preserve this Republic and all of its freedoms.

If we give up even one freedom, the radical Muslems will have won.

Protect our Constitution, and especially the Second Amendment. If, God forbid, we actually ever DO have to "fight terrorists in the streets," we want our well-armed citizenry to blast them out of their boots.

Iran is not the country we'd hope to get support from by having moral high ground.You people need to think faster.

You expect a positive response to a national threat to our sovereignty?That's pretty sad.I suggest you read more about how your mental disability has given you the ability to blissfully suspend your disbelief and engage in bigotry,which religion is.Soon,you people (the true believers)will no longer hold the same rights as the rest of us,as you will be re-classified as mentally unfit.A new article out on that this morning,you'll probably choose to ignore it like reality.I say lots of positive things,just not about traitors to our country!

Right wingers who are guided by backward religious faith, whether they be American or Muslim, and not by reason, science or the rational ideas that arose in modern times (like the last 500 years) are both "deluded".
Mitt, of course, is not totally stupid, but he will pretend to be so in order to win over the brain-dead republican primary voter. His kind of cynical fraud just in the service of power and ambition represents the worst of modern American politics. At least Huckabee and Brownbeck believe most of the nonsense they spew.

Tom, please explain how we are going to kill all the terrorists. Do we kill all their babies also because it is likely they will grow up to hate America also and want to use terrorism as their means of warfare. Oh and what about those Germans, weren't Democrats ridiculed by suggesting fighting terrorism can have a law enforcement component? By Bush and the boys reasoning the Germans should have went a few miles down the road and blown up a Flipino community.

again romney is right!!! don'e count this guy out – he has got somthing good that for sure!

Mr. Romney when one of your five sons joins the military then and only then should you talk about committing other parents children to fight in a war.

Ed,
Do you ever say anything positive? So far you put down anyone stupid enough to believe in God, which is most of us, every post is sardonic and spited. You strike me as an unhappy person. Doesn't lend you a lot of credibility!

I'm sorry, but does anyone really think that, in Iran's administration's eyes, we could ever claim a "moral high ground"? We are, after all, the nation of Wal-Mart and McDonald's, of openly gay couples and Disney...I for one am proud to be here but I don't think we'll be convincing them anytime soon that they should follow in our steed because we are somehow morally superior.

CNN, why did you remove my first comment? It was perfectly appropriate. Do you have some kind of favoritism or agenda?

What ignorance,there is a war it's called the war on democracy by theocrats like bush and bin laden.Neither side can win, it's a fools game.If you expect to beat them at their game by playing along,you're an idiot.We need to restore our constitution so that we have the moral high ground to oppose threats like Iran.Only then can we eradicate this threat of fundamentalist theocrats.The republican view is too much like the pot calling the kettle black.

The war on terror is just a bumper sticker anyway, right "guys"?

Oh wait, German authorities just nabbed 3 converted muslim extremist dirtbags (and are looking for 11 or so more) that had weapons and plans to blow up some US installations in honor of 9-11 and in Florida (also this week) 2 muslim extremists (a pattern here???) were nabbed with pipe bombs near the Navy base.

While the MSM was choosing to give wall to wall coverage on that idiot Craig sticking his piggies where they don't belong, these more important stories either get glossed over (Germany) or not reported at all (Florida).

Yeah , I know and agree Bush sucks, but guess what, we should be united on killing these bastards and you kumbya singers just want to ignore it, kiss their asses and only sit down and find out what "we did wrong" so we can understand why they want to kill us and the Jews.

Why do you think the MSM downplays this stuff?

I for one applaud these folks and YES, other countries that are DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO PROTECT PEOPLE.

Will you all be so upset if it turns out that these were thwarted using cameras or heaven forbid, wiretapping of overseas phone calls, or oh double no, some barking dogs were used to get information?

Ignoring the threat or believing old mindsets won't make it go away.

As for blaming Bush because nobody supposedly hated us until January, 2000, how do you account for the 6-8 US installation bombings or the first WTC bombing while Billy boy was in office?

As for you sheep who also only believe people that served can discuss these matters, I did VOLUNTEER proudly, 1981-1987.

Big fuzzy Hugs.

With Mitt stating "I want to communicate to them that becoming a nuclear nation is not a source of pride, it's a source of peril."

But the USA is proud to be a nuclear nation aren't we? And we are "the deciders."

John McCain jokes/sings about "bomb Iran", Bush calls them one of the Axis of Evil and Faux News is starting to beat the drums for war with Iran, so no wonder they are feeling a bit threatened. When you back any dangerous being into a corner, threaten it – you best be prepared to be bitten.

America! Watch out for the Mormon Moron. It will drag our beautiful country down the drain if he becomes president...God forbid..

To Ed (NY) and Patrick (AZ),

Thank you for raising very serious points. Romney is an idiot who says he isn't running on a religious platform, yet wants to appeal to the psycophantic christian crowd that has become the Republican party, by calling others deluded on the basis of their faith. So it's ok toridicule others on their faithbut his own Mormon delusions are off limits?! get a life Romney, and while you're at it, get offf that American high horse youcame riding on, who are you to dictate nuclear terms to the people of a sovereign nation while you're ass is sitting on the largest such arsenal in the world?? Where do you get off telling Iranians how dangerous it was to acquire such technology while you wouldn't dream of giving up yours?? It seems to me that what's really dangerous is the fact that you actually believe that it is in your place to lecture Iran and the rest of the world on how to run their affairs, such dangerous notions got us into the current mess we're in in Iraq, the last thing we need is another incompetent brain running this country.

"ridicule and disrespect is now the moral and ethical duty of every american.This will continue until you religious freaks all retreat from politics and allow our government(our secular democracy)to function intelligently."

Wow, whose the evangelical theocrat here ed? Whose the one militantly cramming their beliefs down other's throats? And to take the whole of spirituality, which has inspired many of the world's greatest philosophers and scientists for centuries, and reduce it to a brain defect is not only naive, its intellectually dishonest. Or more clearly, its false. I say this as a liberal, agnostic, graduate student in biology.

I don't like the republicans' attempts to blur the line between church and state any more than the next democrat, but you, my friend, seem like the wild-eyed zealot to me.

Wow Romney is so misinformed. Didn't someone tell him that the call for genocide against Israel was a translation mistake?

And yes the country is in need of a change....we can either continue pissing billions of dollars away fighting other people's battles all over the world and watching our economy crumble.

Pretty much all republicans except Ron Paul here. And all democrats(don't fool yourself they may want us out of Iraq...just to put them back in Darfur or other 3rd world country we shouldn't be involved with)

watch the republican debate, god is involved in their platform so its perfectly fair to ask if they say ..you know believe a guy read some gold tablets from a top hat and no one else saw it about 200 years ago, and that magicial pjs protect you under your clothes.

Whoa... Mr Ed,
This great nation was founded and its constitution written by men of faith. They also must have suffered from your so called "biological brain defect. What arrogant blather. Your comments are un-american. Mr Ed, why don't you just move to Europe where you can worship your narcissistic atheism with people like yourself?

Saying you are going to indict the Iranian President for incitation to genocide is not likely to prove a useful negotiation ploy in disarmament talks.

Romney is clearly naive and inexperienced in international politics.

The republicns will for the first time be stupid if the did not chose mitt only his clean past can beat Hilliary its just plain and simple – Rudy is no different than hilliary he is moraly bankrupt so who do you pick well in this kind of silly match up the dems always win:

Romney is successful, focused, dedicated, loves America and its ideals. He has broad understanding and possesses the leadership skills necessary to steer this country.

I AGREE _ GO ROMNEY!

Romney was a pitiful governor of Massachusetts – he never missed a chance to ridicule the state he was elected to govern, and only wanted the job as a stepping-stone to the White House. He accepted no salary, and was worth every penny of it – (0).

The faster he fizzles, the better. He is an empty suit, beside being delusional.

Fear of: the loss of a resource required for a stable modern life. Who is setting this policy of not truly embracing and helping these ‘forever’ second world nations: keeping those who would cause a resource to be used up faster: depressed, only creates the required threat for holding them back so disrupting their growth rates and stability.

An Iran with a nuclear program will generate electricity from uranium and allow that precious resource: oil, to be traded for transportation and construction purposes in greater quantities and so support a greater first world base for invention and innovation.

Nuclear programs demand a higher and more respected seat in the United Nations, but that is all it grants towards world order. Those who chose to make weapons of Mass destruction threaten that order only to create an expensively maintained 'stability of tension'.

I did notice that and it raised my ire that these theocrats would allude to the revolution to promote their attempt to overthrow our government.Thank you for pointing that out though.

Did anyone bother to notice that Romeny cited the Revolution as a time America had to change it's course? America didn't exist as a sovereign nation, so how could the country have changed it's course. Second, for someone running for President to blatantly challenge Iran and charge their president with Genocide is what is really dangerous, and who mare we as Americans to tell any nation they cannot have nuclear weapons? Romney and all the other like minded candidates and citizen must realize that America does not in fact police the world. Romney is, for lack of a better term, a moron.

Me: Romney's deluded

Politics is the official place for the ridicule of theology,thanks to the theocratic republican party.It has been nine years since the discovery that a biological brain defect is responsible for religious indoctrination being so successful and the fact that one party is laying claim to these defective thinkers is a travesty.Since the current republican party cannot stand without the crutch of so many of you with this mental issue,ridicule and disrespect is now the moral and ethical duty of every american.This will continue until you religious freaks all retreat from politics and allow our government(our secular democracy)to function intelligently.This wall of separation that you seek to destroy will only bring you a state run theocracy that I don't think any religious leader or victim would enjoy very much.So get your god crap off our money and out of our courtrooms or face a lifetime of the cruelist ridicule you can stand to hear(or read)for your attempted subversion of our government.You deserve it.

Yes, the United States is indeed in a period of historic conflict and crisis. Romney says that because of external threats he is "convinced America is going to have to change course in some respect." Well, Romney and others like him have been hard at work changing America's course alright, by putting aside the principles embodied in our constitution and by doing everything in their power to undermine the freedoms and rights guaranteed by it. No thank you Mr. Romney. I'd rather fight terrorists in the streets here than surrender even one freedom in the name of "Homeland" security. Even the term Homeland reeks. If this is the Homeland, what's the rest of the world, the outlands of our empire?

Well, it would help that if all of the quotes saying President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for the destruction of Israel weren't actually misquotes. He never said that... look it up yourself if you don't believe me. However, don't you find that misquote convenient?

Ed,
Politics is no place for religious ridicule or derision. Everyone holds their faith dear to them. And every faith has beliefs that look ridiculous when held up to the secular light.

That disrespectful post is more telling about you than Romney.

Romney is successful, focused, dedicated, loves America and its ideals. He has broad understanding and possesses the leadership skills necessary to steer this country.

Romney isn't so well grounded himself,maybe he should refrain from calling others "deluded",it might lend itself to some hypocrisy.Does'nt Mitt practice a delusional superstition about a supernatural being in the sky?
