Gohmert: 'It's Time To Bomb Iran'

Tough-talking Texas lawmaker Louie Gohmert issued some unequivocal advice to President Obama during his recent radio interview on “Washington Watch,” telling host Tony Perkins it’s time the commander in chief take up bombs and send them Iran’s way.

“You know what? We need to encourage this administration to go take out Iran’s nuclear capability,” Gohmert said. “This is serious stuff and I don’t think we ought to put Israel in position of having to save both themselves and the United States. I think it’s time to bomb Iran, anything that resembles a nuclear facility with centrifuges, it’s time to bomb.”

Gohmert expressed frustration with the White House’s watery approach to dealing with a nuclear Iran and suggested the only way Tehran would respect the West would be with a show of force.

“We need to make clear to Iran: You can play these silly games with our president that buys into them and our secretary of state, but the American people aren’t buying it and you’re going to pay a price,” Gohmert said, according to audio of the show posted on RightWingWatch.org.
