Yes, the question is whether that description applies to just the incumbent, or his opponent as well.

He seems to be a decent fellow.

People are tweeting pictures of Venezuelan military mobilizing in different cities. Don't know what to read into that about the election results, but probably is not good.

Romney to compare Benghazi to original 9/11 attacks

In a speech Monday, former Governor Mitt Romney will criticize President Barack Obama's handling of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi and say it was probably the work of al Qaeda, the same group that brought down the World Trade Center and struck the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.

"The attacks on America last month should not be seen as random acts. They are expressions of a larger struggle that is playing out across the broader Middle East -- a region that is now in the midst of the most profound upheaval in a century. And the fault lines of this struggle can be seen clearly in Benghazi itself," Romney will say in a foreign-policy-focused address at the Virginia Military Institute, according to excerpts released by his campaign.

"The attack on our consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11th, 2012, was likely the work of the same forces that attacked our homeland on Sept. 11th, 2001. This latest assault cannot be blamed on a reprehensible video insulting Islam, despite the administration's attempts to convince us of that for so long. No, as the administration has finally conceded, these attacks were the deliberate work of terrorists who use violence to impose their dark ideology on others, especially women and girls; who are fighting to control much of the Middle East today; and who seek to wage perpetual war on the West."

I wonder how many nations he'll insult and bridges he'll burn in the speech. He ticked off Spain the other day in the debate, forcing the Spanish leader to respond. Dude has NO idea what he's doing on the foreign policy front, which isn't surprising with the PNAC people informing him. They did a horrific job with Bush's foreign policy and they are off to a similar start with Romney. The list of nations he's insulted, most of them our friends, is too long for me to list off the top of my head.

I know it's campaign rhetoric, but portraying anything in Libya as a simple black and white situation is either meretricious or stupid. And Mitt Romney is not stupid.

If Obama doesn't smoke Romney on FP, then we might be in trouble.
