The magazine Mother Jones has released the full version of the secret Mitt Romney campaign speech that has sparked a national controversy. In one excerpt from the tape — recorded at a Republican fundraiser in Florida earlier this year — Romney says Palestinians do not want peace with Israel and suggests his Middle East policy would be to do nothing and hope for the best.

Mitt Romney: “I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these thorny issues, and I say, ’There’s just no way.’ And so, what you do is you say — you move things along the best way you can, you hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize this is going to remain an unsolved problem. We live with that in China and Taiwan. All right, we have a potentially volatile situation, but we sort of live with it, and we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it.”
