Are you Mayor Giuliani and Senator Mccain all in the same place right now on Iraq


Gov. Romney On Sen. Obama: Jane Fonda To Doctor Strangelove

 

STEPHANOPOULOS: Governor Romney, are you, Mayor Giuliani and Senator McCain all in the same place right now on Iraq?

 

ROMNEY: I think we're pretty much in the same place. It is critical for us to win this conflict. It is essential, and that's why we're going to continue to pursue this effort. And we're going to get a report from General Petraeus on the success. And I agree the Brookings Institution report over the weekend was a very encouraging indication that we're making progress. That's great news.

 

At the same time, you look at that Democratic debate, I had to laugh at what I saw Barack Obama do. I mean, in one week he went from saying he's going to sit down, you know, for tea, with our enemies, but then he's going to bomb our allies.

 

I mean, he's gone from Jane Fonda to Dr. Strangelove in one week.

 

(LAUGHTER)

 

STEPHANOPOULOS: We're going to get to that. We're going to get to that in a little bit.

 

(APPLAUSE)

 

ROMNEY: Let me continue. Hold on. I had more time, let me continue.

 

Gov. Romney: We Need A Surge of Support

 

I want to make one other point.

 

ROMNEY: And that is, while we are waking up here in the United States and thinking about our barbecue in the afternoon and what's on TV, what baseball game is on, there are lot of families in this country, hundreds of thousands of people, who are waking up wondering whether their loved one is still alive.

 

We have families who made a huge surge of sacrifice to support this surge. And it's time, in my view, for the people of America to show a surge of support, including our leaders in Washington, for these families and for the troops. Let's get behind them and give them everything we have: our prayers, our encouragement, our funds, anything to make sure this surge is successful because it counts for America.

 

(APPLAUSE)
