I along with many other concerned Americans, will be watching Mitt Romney as he squares off against Obama, for the third and final presidential debate. Some, have suggested that Obama, should have a obvious advantage since the the topic for this last debate will be foreign policy. I'm not so sure that I agree with that assessment. Obama, has been an absolute failure in the area of foreign policy. While it is true he made the decision to have Osama bin laden, killed how hard was it to get on the phone and tell the person in charge of the Navy Seals, okay guys, do it! in truth Obama, didn't even get his hands dirty.The president will point to the fact that he took the troops out of Iraq but that country is already starting to fall apart since the Us troops left. Obama, will boast that the war in Afghanistan is winding down and in deed the troops are scheduled to leave in 2014 but the truth is Al- Qadea, is not on the run they haven't gone anywhere and in many places through out the middle east they are growing stronger and Romney, certainty out to be able to talk at length about the tragic foreign policy catastrophe that is Benghazi Libya.
The fact is even if Romney never mentions Benghazi he sill as a variety of foreign policy failures to challenge Obama on. There are more than enough examples but I'll list but a few. First their is the treat of a nuclear Iran despite massive sanctions Iran is about six months away from being able to have nuclear weapons. Israel, has been virtually abandoned by Obama, and may have to face Iran alone for Obama, has made it clear prim minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that he can't count on any military support from the US.Egypt, is still a troubled nation and their new government hasn't even been fully formed yet. Syria, is certainly a mess the country's own people are being killed often by the direct order of Assad. Yemen, is always good for a terrorist or two indeed , Yemen is a key training place for Al-qadea terrorist and if that's not enough there's always Russia, and China to deal with.
Romney, must use many of the ample examples of Obama's foreign policy failures to demonstrate why the American people need a new president some one who can be a real Commander and Chief some one who won't be content to lead from behind but will lead! I believe if Romney can command the facts on foreign policy he can in affect score a political knock out and I think the time is right for Romney to do just that! As always my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
