The two strongest Republican candidates to emerge from the Iowa caucuses, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, both are open to bombing Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Republican candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum emerged as the twin frontrunners after the Iowa caucuses on Tuesday, and this is likely to have interesting reverberations for Iran.
Skip to next paragraphWhy Iran? Because both former Gov. Romney and former Sen. Santorum are hard critics of the Obama administration?s handling of the country that Romney sees as America?s largest threat. Both men have said they would bomb Iran if that country persisted in its stated drive to develop nuclear weapons. Both believe that Obama?s efforts to negotiate with Iran sends a signal of weakness. And if one of these men emerges as the Republican candidate to go up against Obama, the Republican party will attempt to play to what it regards as its strength ? security and foreign policy ? and the rhetoric against Iran is only likely to grow sharper.
Obama?s approach to Iran, of course, is shaped by his campaign promise to abandon the unilateralism of the Bush administration, and to work closely with America?s allies to deal with mutual threats, using methods short of war. While the US took the lead in dealing with supposed threats in Iraq ? launching the war promising to go after Saddam Hussein?s alleged ?weapons of mass destruction? ? Europe has taken the lead in dealing with Iran through ?critical dialogue? and reminding Iran of its promises to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
Most of the Republican candidates portray this carrot-and-stick approach as weakness, and call for military options.
To?be sure, Texas Rep. Ron Paul's strong third place showing in Iowa showed there is some diversity of opinion among GOP voters. The Congressman argues for rolling back US military commitments around the globe and has warned about the costs of starting new conflicts, particularly with Iran.?But Paul's views on Iran have prompted strong rebukes from other Republican candidates who hope to also use the issue against Obama.
Romney, who officially won the Iowa caucuses with a mere eight votes (with 30,015 votes against Santorum?s 30,007), has long been critical of Obama?s policy toward Iran, but since launching his presidential campaign, he has become a veritable hawk.
During the Iowa campaign, Romney called Obama's efforts against Iran a failure.
"I want to make sure that the people of this nation understand that he failed us not only here at home, he's failed us in dealing with the greatest threat we face, which comes from Iran.?
During his first run for the presidency, in 2007, Romney managed to make the bombing of Iran sound like a somewhat middle-of-the road option. ?
?I don?t anticipate that the kind of strategy we would pursue would be a ground-intensive, change-the-regime, change-the-government type of effort. I think it?s more likely that other military actions would be in the nature of blockade or a bombardment or surgical strikes of one kind or another.?

Khris Middleton had 14 points.

A 3-pointer by Anthony Hickey again reduced Virginia?s lead to a single point before Harris made his 3-pointer with 1:30 left.
MAC
Kent State 90,
Shawnee State 65
KENT
Justin Greene and Carlton Guyton scored 15 points each as Kent State pulled away. An 8-0 run, which included five points by Eric Gaines, gave the Golden Flashes (10-3) a 36-25 lead with 3:13 remaining in the first half and they led 44-31 at halftime. Chris Evans added 13 points and Kris Brewer 10 for Kent State, which outshot the Bears (7-7), an NAIA school, 47.6 percent (30 of 63) to 36.1 percent (26 of 72).
Vanderbilt 69, Miami 62
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
John Jenkins hit five 3-pointers and scored 26 points as Vanderbilt overcame a sluggish start for the Commodores? fourth straight victory. Coming off a 74-57 win at then-No. 14 Marquette, the Commodores (10-4) opened this game like so many this season at Memorial Gym struggling to find the basket, hitting only two of their first 14 shots. They finally heated up, especially from 3-point range where they hit 8 of 18 (44.4 percent) for the game. Jeffery Taylor added 11 points, and senior Festus Ezeli blocked four shots to become Vanderbilt?s career leader, passing former NBA player Will Perdue. Freshman Brian Sullivan came off the bench and led the RedHawks (4-8) with 24 points, going 8 of 10 from beyond the arc. Julian Mavunga had his eighth double-double this season but was held to a season-low 14 points, along with his 11 rebounds.
