Stephen Colbert reviews Mitt Romney’s speech on foreign policy and concludes that he knows what Americans want: Vague, long-winded threats and “four more wars.”

Colbert also points out the danger of Iran, which is ‘days from having an atomic bomb,’ and ‘has been for years.’ He formally puts Tehran ‘on notice.’
