“Iraq had been largely pacified,” Perry said. “America had won the war. But our president failed to secure the peace.”

Texas always was a good place to pick up some strong peyote.

In the 2011 GOP debate in which Perry said he’d send troops back into Iraq,none of his fellow GOP candidates would touch that and he got skewered in the court of public opinion. The electorate wanted our troops out of Iraq. we cannot secure peace in the ME. The people in the ME have to do that if that’s really what they want. I don’t think they do want that.

“I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery…”

As Major General Stanley put it, and yet, I cannot help but think that a Victorian Era Major General likely knows more of tactics than a Republican politician.

"Perry’s biggest attack lines in his speech focused on Obama’s handling
of the Middle East. He said that “no decision has done more harm than
the president’s withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.”

Another reason to disqualify Perry. The decision to begin the withdrawal troops began under Shrub’s regime. Naturally no reporter will confront him with that.

Why is Perry pro-unregulated unmonitored Iranian nuclear development?

The fact that other nations are involved in these negotiations means nothing to him. “Murica goes it alone.” He’s the Lone Ranger!

Now we have TWO candidates who say their first act as President will be to UNILATERALLY GO TO WAR WITH IRAN.
Sheldon Adleson’s money has absolutely nothing to do with it. Nope. Not here. Nothing to see. Move along.
“And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is in Iran;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.”

Guess Perry actually got hit in the head with a shoe, unlike Bush who dodged it, when Bush held a press conference in Iraq after having signed the SOFA with Iraq that mandated that all U.S. troops must be out by 2011.

This is very helpful. I finally have a means of distinguishing the positions of one GOP candidate from the positions of another.

Perry has signed on as a Kill-the-Iran-deal First Acter.

I will be watching for candidates to sort into other categories, such as:

Kill Obamacare First-Acter
Cut taxes First-Acter
Deport all the immigrants First-Acter
Close the government First-Acter
Hug Netanyahu First-Acter
Refuse to bake a cake First Acter
Nominate Jeebus to Supreme Court First Acter
Replace White House veggie garden with shooting range First Acter

"“My very first act as president will be to rescind any agreement with
Iran that legitimizes their quest to get a nuclear weapon,” Perry said. "

Indicted man says it’s Okey Dokey by him if Iran builds a nuke. No deal means the Ayatollah can do whatever he wants…which would be to build a nuke so he could threaten Saudi Arabia. Then the saudi’s would do the same as would Egypt and Turkey.

Thanks Perry,
Why don’cha go back to your coloring books?

“My very first act as president will be to rescind any agreement with Iran that legitimizes their quest to get a nuclear weapon,” Perry said.

Oh, come on! I recommend you aim as high as possible for your first act in office. How about single-handedly amending the Constitution to prohibit gay marriage?
You’re never going to win anyway, so why not?

TV ad heard today:

“If you or a loved one has been injured or died from taking (Insert drug name here) please call the Relion Law Firm”

Now, would anyone trust a law firm that expects dead folks to call? My 6 yr old grandson pointed this out to me.
