MORE MITT. Mitt Romney did not excerpt this part of his Herzliya speech on his website, but a group called Control Congress transcribed it from a video excerpt provided by Romney’s campaign. Romney also said:
In the current conflict, there�s only one way to lose, and that is if we as a civilization decide not to lift a finger to defend ourselves, our values, and our way of life. It is time for the world to plainly speak three truths:
One, Iran must be stopped. [Applause]
Two, Iran can be stopped. [Applause]
And three, Iran will be stopped. [Applause]
A “Rightwing News” outfit called PipelineNews.org has the complete transcript, which reveals that Romney also said:
I believe that Iran’s leaders and ambitions represent the greatest threat to the world since the fall of the Soviet Union, and before that, Nazi Germany.
That’s quite an assertion.
