Al Jazeera - Secret video reveals Mitt Romney's views on Middle East

Last edited Tue Sep 18, 2012, 10:38 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)



Published on Sep 18, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney appears to think there is no point in seeking peace in the Middle East. At least, that is what he told the people bankrolling his run. It is the second excerpt of what is turning out to be a damaging video for the Republican campaign. Al Jazeera's Alan Fisher reports from Washington.



- Okay, in this video I've seen at least two Republicans from Memphis saying they can't vote for Rmoney and that they're voting for ''Baracko'' -- I swear! And believe me, I know Memphis Republicans -- that Baracko is being used in this case as a term of endearment!!!

At least I'm pretty sure it is.......

6. Mitt said it would be easier if he were "Latino"..

Opinion: If Mitt Were Latino

If Mitt were Latino, he’d be more likely to be dependent on services that would be cut by the Ryan budget. Senior policy advisor for the economic and employment policy project at NCLR, Leticia Miranda, argues that the “Ryan Budget” would “make the ax fall hardest on the most vulnerable in our society.” Cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, and programs like Head Start and Pell Grants would also disproportionately affect Hispanics.

9. That is not as bad as this ...






-snip-

Romney: If I were Iran, if I were Iran—a crazed fanatic, I'd say let's get a little fissile material to Hezbollah, have them carry it to Chicago or some other place, and then if anything goes wrong, or America starts acting up, we'll just say, "Guess what? Unless you stand down, why, we're going to let off a dirty bomb." I mean this is where we have—where America could be held up and blackmailed by Iran, by the mullahs, by crazy people. So we really don't have any option but to keep Iran from having a nuclear weapon.


Romney didn't appear to understand that a dirty bomb—an explosive device that spreads radioactive substances—does not require fissile material from a nuclear weapons program. Such a bomb can be produced with, say, radioactive medical waste. If Iran's nuclear program poses a threat, it is not because this project will yield a dirty bomb.
