Biden claims Romney wants war with Syria and Iran. - Edit 1

Before modification by Burr at 02/09/2012 10:50:38 PM

Now, his political motives for making that claim are obvious and unhidden. Americans are tired of war, however much we might fear Iran or sympathize with the Syrian rebels. But the political benefit of associated Romney with hawkishness has neither bearing on the likelihood of Biden's claim, nor whether the truth of it would be a good or bad thing.

Can anyone shed light for me on those two aspects?

1) How hawkish does Romney strike you outside of his necessary campaign leanings? And how likely is he to surround himself with hawks?

2) From the perspective of a reasonable person with hawkish leanings, how apparent will be the necessity or foolishness of another war in the middle east in the next four years?

3) Would a second Obama administration really be any different on that score from a first Romney administration?
