Appearing on KT McFarland’s web show, “DEFCON 3,” Herman Cain discussed Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, missile defense, and the threat of a nuclear Iran as he laid out the “Cain Doctrine.”
“The Cain doctrine, as it relates to foreign affairs and foreign relations, is an extension of the Reagan philosophy. Reagan’s philosophy, as you know, was peace through strength. My philosophy is strength through peace and clarity. We need to clarify who our friends are, clarify who our enemies are, stop giving money to the enemies are and make sure that our enemies know who our friends are, that we are going to stand solidly behind them.”
In the same interview, Cain also states his position on Iran, explaining “I don’t think we can stop them from getting a nuclear weapon without some sort of preemptive strike.”
He did, however, caution that he would have to “talk to a lot of people before I would go so far as to say we should do a preemptive strike.”
