Choose your words carefully, Mitt:

…Republican candidate Mitt Romney said he would consider a military blockade or “bombardment of some kind” to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon.

Romney probably has no idea that in international law jargon, “bombardment” is a specific term for describing the war crime of attacking defenseless non-military targets in a relentless, indiscriminate fashion.
