involved militarily in syria including arming the resistance and beyond. what does it do to mitt romney s position as an authority on foreign policy, as somebody who could be commander in chief, to have john mccain, still the guy holding the republican party s banner on this? i don t think it does much because romney, the few things he said about foreign policy, the few positions he has articulated, he s going for the i m going to be as hawkish as possible. he s trying to duck the syria questions. you have mccain being more p proactive there. but what he said about iran, romney basically saying i want the military option on the table, i don t want anybody holding me back. my israel policy is go to be the opposite of obamas. so the theme is from romney is to strike a hawkish note, and i think what he s trying to go for is this carktuicature of obama t
