The Neocons in control with Romney

[d-ray657]

The Romney foreign policy advisers have kept up with the narrative that Obama is weak in the middle east. They suggest that he has been too "risk averse." It seems that their definition of weakness is not getting entangled in a civil war in Syria or not orchestrating Libya's transition from revolution to government.

Also "getting in step" with Netanyahu regarding the military option in Iran.

It astonishes me that these people seem to believe that "leadership" in the Middle East is doing what Israel wants.

After Iraq, the NeoCons were so discredited that it's a wonder anyone takes them seriously, much less a Presidential candidate.

What is it with some people!

Saying democracy is the way and when it happens see nothing but the negative,. Other countries have totally different outlooks and agendas then what the US likes and wants.

Clearly, what we're doing wrong in Egypt and Libya is not loading up our embassies there with recent B school grads whose daddies give heavily to Repodlican candidates.

I agree.
The Republicans have gotten so used to this vocal minority tail wagging the dog that it's considered political suicide to cross them. Norquist and Rove have been pretty effective since Iraq in delineating what the GOP believes and does. Ultimately it's pretty bad for the country in general to not have a loyal opposition, IMO.
