Wow, I thought people were being hyperoblic when they said he didn’t mention Iraq or Afghanistan. He didn’t. Wow.

ANd this bit:

The first step is to understand how we got here. Since World War II, America has been the leader of the Free World. We’re unique in having earned that role not through conquest but through promoting human rights, free markets and the rule of law. We ally ourselves with like-minded countries, expand prosperity through trade and keep the peace by maintaining a military second to none.

Isn’t true. Saudi Arabia is not a like-minded country with the US. Nor are many other countries that we ally with strategically. I’d agree that we should ally with like-minded countries, but I doubt Romney is actually suggesting that.
