As usual, this administration has no idea what the "right thing to do" is until they do the wrong thing, rational folks balk, then they walk it back. Rinse and repeat.
The consequences of electing a narcissist that is more focused on his golf game than doing his job.
Well that is their solution to the middle east problem. They really do want to nuke the entire region. As usual, brutish solutions to complicated problems.
Oh yes. By all means, let's all just hug it out, and it'll all be OK.
Hey! Not ALL Repugnants are with Mittsyboy on this one....his BIG lie/flub/mispeak/STUPIDITY on the timing of the Cairo announcement have left a few speechless and BACKING AWAY...
Why? We still live in a country that believes in free speech. Despite what our enemies are trying to do.
This has NOTHING to do with free speech...it has to do with being wise enough and discreet enough to know what to say AT THE CORRECT time....and NOT LIE!
That is the makings of a leader and MittsyBoy showed NONE of those qualities....no diplomacy skill ....he never needed any to lay off thousands of middle class Americans...

Mr. Romney is not just anybody shooting off his mouth. He's running to be the next president of the U.S.--his words will be carried around the world. Blundering around trying to score political points in the midst of a delicate international situation and making statements before all the facts are known is not a way to instill confidence in his ability to handle crisis in a calm and reasoned manner. Even his GOP comrades figured that out. How many of them are backing Romney today?
He should have taken a page from Condi Rice's book. She understood what needed to be said, said it well, and then closed her mouth. Romney is such an idiot that he doesn't even know when he's being an idiot, and instead of backing off, he doubles down. If this is an indication of how he will handle foreign affairs, we are screwed if he is elected.
We wouldn't be in a world of sh** if we didn't have Israel as an ally. An "ally"? Does an ally cost billions of dollars every year, does an ally spy on the hand that feeds it and pays for the universal healthcare its citizens enjoy, does an ally attempt to manipulate elections, does an ally murder the citizens of its protector without fear of reprisals?
The United Kingdom is an ally. Canada is an ally. Israel is the U.S.'s welfare state. Something the right-wingers on here should loathe.
Yeah, uh, are you really so naive as to think the Mossad doesn't help our FBI and CIA against terrorists? I haven't heard of the Canadian Mounties nailing any terrorists of late.
