quote:

"Bob Levinson went missing because of the Iranian regime,” Rubio, R-Fla., said Friday. “I believe with all my heart they know where he is, they know what’s happened to him and we should hold them completely and entirely responsible for his fate, his whereabouts and the outcome of this.”

“It should influence everything we do with Iran moving forward,” Rubio said. “How this case is handled up to this point and from this point forward will in many ways determine U.S. policy towards Iran.”


quote:

“I certainly believe that everything we do – whether it’s pressure on Iran, outreach to Iran or working through third parties – should all be predicated on the assumption that he is alive and that his return to his family is still possible,” said Rubio, who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

“What those consequences are, obviously the administration will make a determination,” he said.

Just like Marco said Trump should have zero diplomatic dealings with Tehran until they release Levinson. The absolute power of the United States should be held against that tyrannical regime to include a complete embargo and asset forfeiture. Marco is the only person with sense enough in Congress to call a spade a spade.

Iran could disavow Islamic radicalism, hand over all of its weapons to us and their leader could publicly kiss Donald Trump's arse and the neocons would still want us to go to war with them.

Who exactly has stated they want to go to war?

Your statement reeks of knowledge and I want you to share it with all.

Neocons have been calling for war with Iran for 2 decades. Kristol, Krauthammer, Cohen, Kagan, Frum and the lot of them.

As for Rubio, this is all the way back in 2012 at CFR summit.

RICHARD STENGEL (Moderator): But you would—hust to be straight about it—but you would sanction a strike before you would tolerate a nuclear Iran?

RUBIO: Yes and I think that we need to begin to prepare people for that. See, I think that the—not just the people of the country, but the people of the world appreciate when their leaders walk them through this process and explain this is what we’re working on, and more importantly, these are the stakes of a nuclear Iran.

Ah. As a conservative I don't pay attention to them.

And I have heard talk of surgical strikes from many quarters concerning nuclear facilities but not so much of a all out war.

Although I'm sure you could find that the MiC and some political arms from the left and right would support such.
