Leon Panetta on Iran: Bombing Hospitals and Schools, That Will Undermine the Effort to Get the Iranians to Rise Against Their Regime

RUSH EXCERPT:
PANETTA: "Well, look. There is no question, Aaron, that war is horrific. War is horrific. And when you‘re dropping as many bombs as we‘re dropping when as many missiles are being fired, as we‘ve seen both by the United States and Israel I‘m sure these kinds of things can happen. But the hope is that the principal mission that we‘re engaged in is to destroy Iran‘s war making capability. And that means going after military targets means going after missiles, means going after radar sites. It means going after those targets that are military and if you‘re starting to hit hospitals and schools what what what will happen is that the very effort to get the Iranian people to rise up and basically go after their regime. What that‘s going to do is basically undermine that kind of effort so I would hope that they would stick to military targets."
