Is he kidding?

"Is there any major presidential candidate who has espoused a view anywhere near this radical or controversial?"

Did this guy really just ask that? How about Barack Obama's stance that if the U.S. knew that genocide would result from a withdrawal of troops from Iraq, he'd still go ahead and pull them out anywhere? Or how about Dodd's stance that the solution in Iraq is U.S. sanctioned ethnic cleansing? Perhaps Obama's view that the U.S. should invade an ally? Just asking...

Giuliani's proposal for endless Middle East wars on behalf on Israel
Unclaimed Territory - Salon

In London this week, Rudy Giuliani proposed what is probably the single most extremist policy of any major presidential candidate, certainly this year and perhaps in many years:

Rudy Giuliani talked tough on Iran yesterday, proposed to expand to NATO to include Israel and warned that if Iran's leaders go ahead with their goal to be a nuclear power "we will prevent it, or we will set them back five or 10 years."...

While Giuliani did not explicitly addresses the implications for Iran of adding Israel to NATO in his speech, his aides later highlighted a 2006 Heritage Foundation paper by Nile Gardiner, a former Thatcher aide who was announced as a new Giuliani adviser yesterday.

That step would "leave the mullahs with no illusions about the West's determination to respond to Iran's strategic threat to the region," Gardiner wrote. "Any nuclear or conventional attack on Israel, be it direct or through proxies such as Hezbollah or other terrorist groups, would be met by a cataclysmic response from the West."

Adding Israel to NATO has been opposed by France and some other European nations in the past, largely because it would entangle the alliance in the Middle East.
