The Ugly American: Mitt Romney’s Disastrous Overseas Excursion
He’s the prince of verbal pratfalls, overseas and at home. And in a
sense, that’s a good thing because the more you see and hear him in
this presidential campaign, the more you know he’s just not up to the
job.
Mitt Romney gave an anti-Iranian speech in Israel and University of
Tehran Professor ... Standard YouTube License ... its bomb bomb
iRAN ...
Mitt Romney - I will bomb Iran and create jobs at the same time!!
NOBODY invests during war. There is absolutely NO job creation during
war. There is no growth of economy and progress of the country during
war. But instead ... your current resources are used in the war. And
what resources do you have ... yes, one trillion dollar in debt.

Isn't anyone else the least bit uneasy that Romney essentially turned
our foreign policy authority over to Benjamin Netanyahu? By declaring
that Israel has the right to defend itself in Netanyahu's version of
the Middle East he endorsed preemptive war. That worked so well for
us in Iraq, right? Then insisting that Israel could depend on the
United States to back their play no matter how belligerent or half
witted he virtually committed us to another full time war in the
Middle East with the worst possible enemy. No matter how much you
dislike the Iranian leadership it is just goofy to imagine that we
would benefit in any manner at all from an Iranian war.

Though his advisors keep putting Romney is a message box, he keeps
bursting out with gaffes, writes Robert Shrum.
Romney went overseas to show he was qualified to be president—but
seldom if ever has any such an effort made someone look so foolish so
fast, with so much blowback coming from across the political spectrum.
Romney was programmed to be gaffe-free as he made a political
pilgrimage to the Holy Land in search of the holy grail of Jewish
votes back home. The programming was almost successful-- and it was
certainly a direct result of his previous stop on a not-so-grand
journey. In Israel, Mitt was supposed to act like a mutt brought to
heel after he earned the worst welcome in London since King Richard II
was deposed following an ill-timed and inconclusive invasion of
Ireland. Romney was in the stadium at the opening ceremony of the 30th
Olympiad, sitting in a relative and blessed anonymity, a forced smile
on his face. It had been a painful few days as he auditioned on the
world stage for the most powerful job in the world
