Leon Panetta Responds To Mitt Romney's Afghanistan Comments (VIDEO)


You may be partly correct, however, what hs has said so far indicates a reasonabbly firm stance on important historical security and treaty issues.

I would prefer a much more robust stance on using economic weapons to achieve compliance with foreign policy goals. Like, "Cut off ALL trade and financial activity with Iran, or forget about doing ANY business with the U.S., and by Presidential decree, I am ordering an embargo on any trade or financial transactions with you including shipments already under way, unless you comply."

Fortunately the U.S. still has enough economic strength to carry this off, and I bet that cheaters and non-compliers would soon feel real pain.
