On how it seems Romney learns about foreign policy by watching rerun episodes of '24'

A Dirty bomb, despite what you and Romney think, is NOT a WMD. Anyone who has looked into this in even brief detail can tel you thgat.
What’s more, building one does not require material from a nuclear weapons or energy plant. One could get all the radioactive material needed from a couple of the world’s largest rubbish dumps, for goodness sake.
And the whole ‘24’ comparison is very different from what you think it is - you may prefer to tie the argument up in odd, cherry-picked specifics, but what we’re obviously saying is, that the entire argument Romney puts forward is a paranoid right wing fantasy born of uninformed nonsense that’s at once laughable, and alarming in how it shows how little Romney knows about an issue he claims would be a very high priority for his administration.
But you do know, don’t you, that Obama himself is seen by most republicans as the ‘mole’ or ‘traitor’ you suggest is required for the ‘24’ narrative to be ? Just this week Romney was telling the country that Obama sympathizes with Islamic extremists WHILE they were attacking our embassies.
What’s more, Romney’s paranoid fantasy was based on Americans behaving - not being taken hostage. You did actually watch the video, didn’t you? Or are you doing what the Romney campaign is doing, and simply pretending he said something entirely different to what he actually said?
Look I know it’s easier to defend statements by pretending something else was said, but really - you’re either telling he world you’re dishonest, or you’re telling the world that you don’t actually know what statement you’re defending.
