Romney campaign quickly distances itself from Mitt's statement of support for Obama's Iran policy

by Jed Lewison for Daily Kos

<..> GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: President Obama said exactly the same thing. He said it's unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. So your red line is the same as his.

MITT ROMNEY: Yeah, and I laid out what I would do to keep Iran from reaching that red line.

<..> Meanwhile, however, two of Mr. Romney’s most senior foreign policy advisers, Eliot Cohen and Richard Williamson, were offering a far more muscular stance on Iran. Asked specifically how Mr. Romney’s foreign policy differs from that of the Obama administration, Mr. Romney’s advisers said that he would have already told Iran that he would not allow it to come close to building a bomb.

Mr. Romney, said Mr. Cohen, “would not be content with an Iran one screwdriver’s turn away from a nuclear weapon.” Though he did not say exactly where, in the development of nuclear capacity, Mr. Romney would draw his own red line, Mr. Cohen said that it would be far before Mr. Obama’s own line — at the point of actual weaponization — and that it could be in a different place that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel draws it.

Willard agrees with PBO and his handlers try to spin it. Confusing.....to say the least.

Oops, looks like they forgot to write his policy stance on his hand before the interview. Romney is an empty-suit.

By the current Israeli standard Iran could have already been attacked to thwart it's nuclear ambitions.

Israel is a strong ally but we cannot let any foreign government dictate our national foreign policy.

Did the GOP forget that they attacked the administration for leaking the fact that they had sabatoged Iran's nuclear capabilities via a computer virus? That isnt exactly a weak foreign policy. I think theyve shut up about the leaks because they dont want their voters to know just how much this President has done.
