Republican Perry would back Israel strike on Iran nuclear sites

Texas governor tells CNN he would support covert and overt military attacks in order to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said on Thursday that as president he would support an Israeli air strike on Iran if there is proof Tehran is moving closer to having a nuclear weapon.

"Obviously, we are going to support Israel. And I've said that we will support Israel in every way that we can, whether it's diplomatic, whether it's economic sanctions, whether it's overt or covert operations, up to and including military action," the Texas governor said in an interview on CNN.

"We cannot afford to allow that madman in Iran to get his hands on a nuclear weapon period," Perry added.

Can we get the same pledge and public pride for Israel, from all our GOP Candidates--Please?

Cain Camp Accuses Perry Campaign of Leaking Sexual Harassment Claims

Herman Cain’s top aide is accusing Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s camp of leaking stories to the media about sexual harassment allegations from the 1990s that have rocked the former pizza company executive’s presidential campaign.

Mark Block, the chief of staff to Cain’s presidential campaign, makes the claim in an exclusive interview with Fox News Special Report on Wednesday.

Cain has been grappling with the scandal since Politico first reported Sunday night that at least two women who worked for the National Restaurant Association when Cain was the head had received financial settlements after they complained about his behavior.

Earlier Wednesday, a third woman said she considered filing a workplace complaint against Cain over what she viewed as aggressive and unwanted behavior, including a private invitation to his corporate apartment.

And the attorney for one of two women who apparently received financial settlements said Wednesday that he will formally request his client be allowed to speak publicly about the case.
