Neocon Romney just flip flopped on Iraq war ( a $3 Trillion flip flop):


Romney Reverses Position on Iraq

In an interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd today, Mitt Romney asserts that “of course” invading Iraq was a bad idea now that we know Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction.

His dad did the same on the vietnam war during his presidential campaign -- that he lost in the primaries.

Good point. I wonder if this is a political move? Funny how all these morons always say, "well had we known this" - can anybody see through the bull&&it? Oh wait, I know someone who can...

Mitt Romney Now Opposes the Iraq War?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he just changed his stance:

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/mitt-romney-on-iraq-war-in-hindsight-obviously-we-would-not-have-gone-in/

“if we knew at the time of our entry into Iraq that there were no weapons of mass destruction, if somehow we had been given that information, obviously we would not have gone in.”

Now, if you remember, back during the 2007 debates, Romney was adamant that the Iraq War was the right thing to do.

Romney and Ron are working together lol.

 

[blazeKing]

Romney's views change with the poll numbers, that has always been the case.

 

[Epic]

Does this mean Rick Santorum is gonna go after Romney for being weak on the war on terror?

 

[The Gold Standard]

If Ron keeps rising in the polls he'll come out against the Fed and claim to bring our troops home.

“if we knew at the time of our entry into Iraq that there were no weapons of mass destruction, if somehow we had been given that information, obviously we would not have gone in.”

I clearly remember the run up to the invasion and there was widespread skepticism of the veracity of the "intelligence" from both within the government and without.

He is an isolationist...

Good point. I wonder if this is a political move? Funny how all these morons always say, "well had we known this" - can anybody see through the bull&&it? Oh wait, I know someone who can...

Paul/Romney 2012!

I'm sure he'll say something completely different in the next day or two.

This is how the regime operates, "oh, well we would have never invaded if we knew they didn't have WNDs". Total nonsense. They knew there were no weapons, but still went in for the interests of Israel. This is just the latest b.s.

This reminds me of when all the liberals started saying that the war was started for oil. That was just a coverup to divert attention from the obvious Israeli interests. If the war was really for oil, they would have done what Donald Trump said and just taken it, yet as you can see, the U.S. did not take all of that oil.

Mitt Romney would become a spokesperson for the Flat Earth Society if he could somehow be convinced it would help him get elected.

Mitt Romney is like Silly Putty.

 

[Erazmus]

I KNEW IT!

This quote by William Norman Grigg sums up Romney nicely!

Mitt Romney, a polymer-based life form of nearly limitless pliability, is as long on cash as he is short on genuine convictions. For the Power Elite's political brokers, few traits are more endearing in a potential president than malleability. Romney's suppleness of spine helps explain how he was able to soak up $10 million in promised campaign donations from politically connected oligarchs during a day-long marathon fundraiser in Las Vegas.

Oh my God, this guy is the worst flip flopper in history. If it really comes down to Romney and Paul next year then the media will only discredit itself by throwing its support behind Romney.

 

[Matthew Zak]

If it were Santorum changing his stance I might care. Romney doesn't know about camera phones, the internet, or youtube.

What about global jihad and caliphet threat he was scaring people about not too long ago?
