Asked whether the American commanders on the scene were right in not attacking the Iranian boats, Mr Huckabee said he backed their decisions, before warning Iran: "Be prepared, first, to put your sights on the American vessel. And then be prepared that the next thing you see will be the gates of Hell, because that is exactly what you will see after that."Fred Thompson, the former Tennessee senator and Law & Order star who is banking all on victory in South Carolina to revive his campaign, said of the Iranian boat crews: "I think one more step and they would have been introduced to those virgins that they're looking forward to seeing." The crowd cheered.
Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor, said: "I think an incident like this reminds us that we shouldn't be lulled into some false sense of confidence about Iran."
Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor seeking to become America's first Mormon president, said: "I believe it was a very serious act."
Of course we now know that the incident was exaggerated by the Navy to feed into the Pentagons craving to start some shit with Iran. But that is what are known as facts and it is unlikely that Republican voters would bother themselves with those.
As if we need any further reason to vote Democrat this election season, the Republicans remind us that we should fear everything and that each them will continue to threaten other nations to keep us insecure and frightened.
And remember who among the Democrats has recently used the same tactics. (Here is a hint: No Y chromosome!)
gee how Rovian ....
