Just when we thought no one cared about foreign policy…


Post Debate: I see that the debate tonight was on domestic policy only.  Oh well... so much for my blog post.  Waiting on the NEXT debate!  I've been dealing, as Romney has, with my lying teenage boys.

What will be said about Benghazi, Libya in the debate tonight? We’ve heard little about foreign policy but this could change.

Per Bloomberg.com: “That attack by what is now believed to be al-Qaida-linked militants has become fraught with election-year politics as Republicans accuse administration officials of dissembling in the early aftermath on what they knew about the perpetrators and for lax security at the diplomatic mission in a lawless part of post-revolution Libya.”

And from the NYTimes: “The Obama administration sidestepped Al Qaeda ties in the case of the Libyan attack to perpetuate the narrative that the president had decimated Al Qaeda when Osama bin Laden was killed, and to preclude allegations that they were asleep at the switch on the anniversary of 9/11. Better to blame it all on a spontaneous protest to an anti-Islam video on YouTube.”

Does any of this bring Jimmy Carter to mind? Some think so, such as this article on the “JimmyCarter Strategy”


And, last...


Eager to watch the debates tonight!  Not sure why the colors are off on my text. Blog help!
