 * ==National Security==

"The key to effective homeland security, in my view, is intelligence, finding the attackers before they attack, gathering and analyzing tips, monitoring suspects, wiretapping, surveillance, all of the tools associated with intelligence work... We need to increase our investment in national defense... We need to fundamentally change the cultures of our civilian agencies and create dynamic, flexible, and task-based approaches that focus on results rather than bureaucracy." || Mitt Romney supports the Iraq War, and believes that the best path is to seek stability in Iraq. He argues that instability can cause a civil war, and the Middle East can be drawn into further conflict. This would lead to further loss of American lives. He fully supports the Bush Administration in their decisions. "At a time when the men and women of our military fighting terrorism around the globe needed them most, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama cast a vote that singularly defines their lack of leadership and serves as a glaring example of an unrealistic and inexperienced worldview on national security that is regrettably shared by too many of their fellow Capitol Hill Democrats." || Mitt Romney believes that it is dangerous to allow Iran to fully develop its nuclear technologies. As a result, Romney feels compelled not to reduce U.S. nuclear weapon stockpiles. He states that it is essential to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power as it could potentially encourage other countries to develop their own nuclear weaponry. Romney intends to prevent a nuclear Iran by diplomatically isolating Iran and negotiating with neighboring nations for their support. ||
