Romney makes it better: "The only answer is show them strength. American strength!"

'There's a little Palestinian I could make MY bitch!'
"... The Romney campaign retaliated by accusing the Obama campaign of leveling "false attacks against Mitt Romney based on a debunked and selectively edited video," citing an article by Politico's Dylan Byers published Wednesday morning. In it, Byers argued that the initial clip on the Middle East was misleading, because in the complete video of Romney's remarks, he doesn't entirely rule out peace as a possibility, stating:
But I always keep open: the idea of pushing on the Israelis to give something up to get the Palestinians to act is the worst idea in the world. We have done that time and time and time again. It does not work. So the only answer is show them strength. American strength, American resolve, and the Palestinians will some day reach the point where they want peace more than we’re trying to force peace on them. Then it’s worth having the discussion. So until then, it’s just wistful thinking.
