Santorum: I’d Order Airstrikes On Iran If They Got Close To A Nuke

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum repeated his pledge to order airstrikes on Iran should that nation come close to creating a nuclear weapon. “Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on my watch,” he said, saying that President Obama had been soft on the issue. When Gregory said that all Presidents say they won’t allow Iran to gain nuclear capabilities, Santorum argued that unless they are willing to back it up with military action, it makes the country look like a “paper tiger.”
