John Yoo: The Best Way to Stop Attacks Like the One in NYC from Happening Is Finishing Off the Iranian Gov’t

EXCERPT:

YOO: “The only way, we learned this after 9/11, the only way to stop future terrorist attacks on our homeland is to go to the source and take preventive action in Iran, to take preventive action in the Middle East, where these terrorist groups are forming, where they’re trying to send people here, where they’re trying to radicalize. The Iran war is going to create the circumstances where a foreign government is going to try to stoke more of these attacks. The best way to stop this from happening is finishing off the Iranian government and the Iranian military forces and remembering we’re at war with these terrorist groups. We should not be, as Trey said, in a reactive after-the-fact posture after a bomb has gone off. We want to break up their networks, intercept their communications, and stop the attacks before they happen.”
