re: #298 blueraven

Perhaps Romney wanted to keep this election and his speech focused so much on the economy to the extent that he felt introducing anything about war, Afghanistan or even the troops would remind people that Obama has been a good CIC.

It was a mistake to do so and I think he shot himself in the foot.

There that and he doesn’t have an alternative plan for Afghanistan. He’s done some minor bitching about lack of US leadership in Syria but that probably needs to wait until after the election. He’s also offered no alternative for Iran. Obama has all the foreign policy bases covered and it’s tough to find major flaws or radical alternatives to differentiate himself from Obama. Some minor quibbles is the best he can do.
