Amen, Mitt
Here's why Mitt Rom-nee sounds good to me:
"GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney urged renewed support Tuesday for the war in Iraq and a major U.S. military expansion.
"'Running away from Iraq now would embolden our enemies, giving them the sanctuary they need to plan more devastating attacks against our country,' Romney said in remarks prepared for delivery Tuesday night at the George Bush Presidential Library. 'In this difficult time, some in Congress are trying to deny our troops the resources they need. This is a grave error. We need to rally behind the effort, and support our men and women in uniform in this time of war.'
"Romney, the 60-year-old former governor of Massachusetts and a leading candidate for his party's presidential nomination, also proposed a major military buildup to offset what he called a 'dangerous decline' under the Clinton administration, and the strains of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"Romney proposed in his speech an increase of 100,000 troops and the dedication of at least 4 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product to defense spending." [Emphasis mine]
