Duncan Hunter Did a Righteous Thing

He did it here at Little Green Footballs.  Mr. Hunter will get my full attention going forward in this race.

I strongly support the wall that the Israelis have built, which has greatly reduced terrorist attacks — and believe that it’s very important for the United States to help Israel improve its missile defense in order to prevent the sort of attacks that country suffered during its war with Hezbollah last year. Incidentally, I’ve been encouraging Israel to build up her missile defense since back in 1987 as well as supporting the funding of joint missile defense technology programs such as the Arrow program.

Additionally, while the United States should do what it can to resolve the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians, it’s simply not possible for the Israelis to make peace with people who refuse to recognize their existence, kidnap their soldiers, and blow themselves up in crowds of Israeli civilians. So, until the Palestinians renounce terrorism and stop their attacks on the Israeli people, peace will be out of reach. Let me also add that I’ve been to Israel, have seen the importance of regions like the Golan Heights to their security, and believe that Israel should not be asked to give up any more land in order to make peace with the Palestinians.

I consider Israel to be America’s best ally in the Middle East and strongly support Israel’s survival as a free nation. So, if I become President of the United States, people who care about the fate of Israel can feel confident that they’ll have a friend in Duncan Hunter.

Wow. Very cool indeed.

His words are righteous, but why can't we hear a politician come out and tell the absolute truth which is that ANY support for any Hamas-led coalitional government of Palestine is support for genocide.

Atlas,

I decided on Duncan Hunter a few weeks ago.

He has my support for President.

Duncan Hunter is a man of convictions. He served in the Vietnam War in the 173rd Airborne Brigade and the 75th Ranger Regiment.

Hunter introduced H.R. 552, The Right to Life Act, on February 2, 2005.

In 1994, Hunter legislatively mandated the construction of 14 miles of security fencing on the international land border separating San Diego County and Tijuana, Mexico.

His son is a U.S. Marine and Duncan Hunter's personal support of the new security strategy or the "Surge" in Iraq has sent his own son back to Iraq for his third deployment! Wow. Talk about putting your heart where your mouth is.

Two great posts from two men who *get it* -- Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson. I am encouraged there is some intelligence among politicians.

Gunner, thanks for the background on Hunter.
