Former Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D, MT) wants us to 'cozy up' to Iran.

His words, not mine.  That first link is to the video: text below.

“What’s interesting is not that we are going to have a treaty with Iran, it’s going to tip the balance away from the Saudis and the Egyptians to the Persians, the enemies for the last 3,000 years to the Arabs,” he said, pointing out that he had lived in the Middle East for seven years. “Big changes are happening in the Middle East. If we cozy up to Iran, we are not going to need Saudis anymore. We will be energy independent.”

The bolding is mine; and I am just going to note here that if Gov. Schweitzer thinks that he can run for President on a platform of ‘cozying up’ to a regime that thinks Death to America and Death to Israel are perfectly normal and unobjectionable policy statements, then Gov. Schweitzer is free to try.  And I’ll add this: rhetoric like that might work in a Democratic primary.  It won’t fly in the general.

PS: We don’t particularly need to rely on foreign oil to be energy independent in the first place.  I know that most of my readers already know this; I’m hoping that somebody will clue in Gov. Schweitzer.
