Romney: War with Iran 'not going to happen'

"The president made it very clear that he thinks the greatest foreign policy mistake, probably in the modern age, was the decision by President [George W.] Bush to go into Iraq," Romney said. "The idea that he would follow the same path by going after Iran, a more difficult enemy, if you will, militarily — that’s just not going to happen.

"In circumstances like that, when the intelligence community says there’s a greater degree of risk, out of an abundance of caution you, of course, take people out of harm‘s way and you also communicate, as the president has, that we’re not going to sit back and just watch things unfold," the Utah Republican continued.

Romney's GOP colleague in the Senate, Tom Cotton, also downplayed the threat of military conflict with Iran in an interview Sunday. "No one, to my knowledge, is proposing what you saw in Iraq with 150,000 troops mass to invade a country, overthrow its government and try to govern 80 million Iranians," Cotton told host Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"We'd like to see the regime change its behavior," the Arkansas Republican continued. "But my point about the first strike and the last strike is the United States is not going to take the first strike here. But if Iran attacks the United States or our allies in the first strike, then it will be up to America in a time and a manner of our choosing to take the last strike because our military will devastate theirs.

*-“unless Trump tells me we are going to war with Iran then I am for it. “

And he is gonna stop Bolton, Trump how?

I agree with sen Romney .Even though Trump is a reckless leader he cannot send american troops to an unrealististic war trump is too clever to think about war POTUS ewarren ProudResister

Romney has no SPINE! That is why obama beat him. To understand How is mind works I recommend you watch Youtube South Park explanation of the Mormon faith. The really sad part Is South Park is EXACTLY Accurate and True.

Mitt Romney is a never trumper he is no good

Who cares what he thinks? He isn’t our president

Well Mitt ....if tRump is bluffing , you are gunna blow it MittRomney

Well here's someone who dodged the Vietnam war!

realHeatherD The secret with a good waffle is knowing when it needs to be flipped. Waffles don't have backbones, after all.

Can we rely on his Confidence? Trump could make him sing a different Tone?

Hope you're right Romney

Sounds a lot like Obama. Now if someone could only get it through his egotistical skull that he LOST.

“Personally Going to war, with John Bolton in Iran, is not going to happen,' Mitt Romney said.

If Trump calls War with 🇮🇷, that just means he's just trying to start another dumpster fire, to overlook the other thousand dumpster fires he has started! NO MORE DUMPSTER FIRES!!!!IMPEACH MAKESUREPENCEGOESWITHHIM

Hope he is correct. Let pray our resources are limited. Don't want our arm forces get another hit with losing life, limbs etc. Where as he is draft dodger.

Sorry Mitch, low credibility

The administration is already at war with women, the gay community, the environment, laws, decency, common sense, facts...

SenatorMitt... Better tell DerangedDonald that the war with Iran that Bolton is trying to start isn’t going to happen. I forgot what nickname realDonaldTrump created for you..! 🤔

Like this limp buttlicker is gonna do anything about it

This is the same spineless guy that had to eat crow (Drumpf Rump) while DRUMPF watched him eat it So consider the $ource

SenatorRomney you are not truly believable as you still place the party before democracy. Stand up and defend the values or history will trash you for failing to do so

Ha! You’re funny! ResignTrump resignRomney Iran

Maybe it's an option if more info keeps coming out and impeachment starts Point is it would be distraction and be his excuse to escape investigation. I put NOTHING out of the realm with Trump!!!

Or what? You'll shake your head and mutter about disappointment? Speaking of which, I'm disappointed Utah let you claim 'residency,' and then elected such a spineless wimp to the Senate, Mitt.

Mitt's going to write a sternly worded letter that Susan Collins will proofread for him.

What an ignorant fool. He isn't for the war until trump fully starts it and then Romney will be for the war. Blood thirsty war criminal republicans.

Yeah because Mitt has the backbone to stop it...
