I trust Obama in forgien policy MUCH more than Romney Ryan. The Republican Party is willing to get us into another expensive, deadly war in the middle east… just like GW Bush. Obama has common sense, the GOP, not so much.
Bush attacking every Arab culture but Saudi Arabia, and every Muslim on the planet had a lot more to do with the attack in Libya that killed a man the majority of Libyans, as demonstrated by their demonstration of over 100,000 people in support of him, and the U.S., might have had more with the “great unravelling” than Obama. When even Netanyahu’s “second” plainly states Israel is strongly supported by Obama, but not necessarily to the extent of blowing up their neighbors, again, things aren’t as bad under Obama as “conservatives” would have us believe.
Blowing everyone up, like “W”, Cheney, and now Mitt see as “policy”, is NOT a policy we need to strengthen!!
Saw Ethel Kennedy on NBC news last night. It’s the anniversary of the Cuban Missle Crisis. She talked about the night she and her husband, Robert, told their children at prayers that tonight could be “the last night” The children were asked if they wanted to go out west or stay with their father and all of them chose to stay.If having to decide who is going to grasp those frayed ends of tangled and abused rope that is the Mideast with ANY policy….I trust Obama exponentially more than I do Mr. Romney And what happens across our borders effects us and our economy so badly that even if Romney is the unlikely job creating tax and health care reform expert he would have us believe, it will not matter. If you need links to support this, they’re easy to find, if you trust the sources. Too few countries have the ability to create too much chaos in our country simply by closing markets, or not exporting important minerals, chemicals, products….Then there’s the matter of when to use force and how much. The man who can be thoughtful and calm gets my vote. Where beginning, or responding, to an attack is concerned, it is rarely wrong to study the ‘terrain’ before stepping upon the field of battle. IThat’s just my opinion, I could be wrong,Respectfully,C.
@MortyForTyrant – My comment was not meant to be flip. I’m just pointing out that if he was to do anything, he should have done it immediately – by waiting he has painted himself into a corner and as you point out, damned either way.
One of the many problems with our election process is the fact that the incumbent may not be at liberty to give the real reasons for his decisions – state secrets and all that. Then of course the challenger (and public) is without complete knowledge of situations.

From what I can tell, I think Obama has put off dealing with the Middle East until after the Election.Or at least this next Debate….

If there is retaliation for the attack, I’m sure it will have nothing to do with the election.

First prize for whoever can define Willard’s policy(s) in the Middle East. Other than kicking the can down the road.
