politics can change on a dime. an event can happen, 59 days out from the election and suddenly i guess we are talking about this. we were saying that if the debates were held this week, that these were questions that should be asked of both candidates. well, they were asked this morning, at least of mitt romney when he appeared on another network. eric: listen. i laid out what i would do to keep iran from reaching that red line. i said the crippling sanctions needed to be put in place immediately. that combined withstanding up with iranian dissidents. the president was silent. when disdepartments took to the streets in iran, he was silent. in addition, i think ahmadinejab should have been indicted under the generalized for incitation to genocide. eric: you got to give him credit. there are a lot of people saying he jumped the gun, he should have waited til all the information was in when he sent out his here is a kind of a shot at p. but look, the american people are ready for
