Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told Missouri voters today that they will be in danger if Iran acquires nuclear weapons.
“Once they have a nuclear weapon, let me assure you, you will not be safe even here in Missouri,” Santorum said. “These are folks who have been and are at war with us since 1979,” he said of Iran.
Santorum recalled that the improvised explosive devices which are “the number one killer and maimer of our troops in the Middle East” were “manufactured in Iran, by the Iranian government, and distributed to the terrorists in both Iraq and Afghanistan.”
