Mitt Romney in Israel stops at Jewish holy site on Tisha Be’av. Mitt Romney has visited one of Judaism’s most holy sites. The U.S. presidential candidate, who’s on a pre-election, 36-hour visit trip to burnish his foreign-policy credentials, visited the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Mitt decided to visit Israel on Tisha Be’av- A Jewish day of mourning and an inter-generational lifeline.
Psalms 137: 5-6
5 If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.

Romney aide says he’d back Israel if Iran strike is needed
Ahead of meetings with top officials in Israel, aide says Romney believes Iran “is testing our moral defenses” and would “respect” an Israeli strike to prevent Iranian nuclear weapons capability.
US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney would back Israel if it were to decide it had to use military force to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, a senior aide said on Sunday.
“If Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from developing that capability, the governor would respect that decision,” Romney’s senior national security aide Dan Senor told reporters traveling with the candidate.

Israel with Romney in office would sigh with relief.
Why he’s going where he’s going By Charles Krauthammer, Published: July 26
A generation ago, it was the three I’s. A presidential challenger’s obligatory foreign trip meant Ireland, Italy and Israel. Mitt Romney’s itinerary is slightly different: Britain, Poland and Israel.
Not quite the naked ethnic appeal of yore. Each destination suggests a somewhat more subtle affinity: Britain, playing to our cultural connectedness with the Downton Abbey folks who’ve been at our side in practically every fight for the last hundred years; Poland, representing the “new Europe,” the Central Europeans so unashamedly pro-American; Israel, appealing to most American Jews but also to an infinitely greater number of passionately sympathetic evangelical Christians.
Unlike Barack Obama, Romney abroad will not be admonishing his country, criticizing his president or declaring himself a citizen of the world. Indeed, Romney should say nothing of substance, just offer effusive expressions of affection for his hosts — and avoid needless contretemps, like his inexplicably dumb and gratuitous critique of Britain’s handling of the Olympic Games. The whole point is to show appreciation for close allies, something the current president has conspicuously failed to do.

Romney and Netanahu have known each other for years. I much rather have my Pres. friends with Israel than with the MB.
Obama is in fear:-)
He better be. Obama is going down!!!! 🙂
