Romney: "Hope is not a strategy in the Middle East." Um, say what?

[Anonymous]

He just made a speech criticizing Obama's Middle East policy which included this statement.

This is the same guy who was telling his high-rolling donors behind closed doors in his 47%er speech that there's nothing you can do about the Middle East conflict except kick the can down the road and hope the whole thing doesn't blow up.
Did he forget? Does he have early onset Alzheimer's?
I guess the WP should have included the innuendo: "Hope isn't a strategy. Utter cynicism and callousness on the other hand, should work for my purposes."

I have been wondering why the pro-obama ads yet do not highlight Romney's comment on his Middle East in the video.

I guess someone shook the Etch-a-Sketch. Is anybody surprised when Romney does a 180 these days? I'm surprised when he doesn't.

History has shown that all the US and European meddling and wars in the Middle East have been extremely beneficial. (sarcasm intended). Sigh, we really don't need more wars started pro-actively by Republicans.

Romney has no foreign policy. He made a huge mistake when he fired his best adviser, for being gay.

Wait a week or two till the next poll numbers come out. Then we'll see another strategy. You can always count on Romney to change position to whatever sounds good.

Well, it sounds good to someone who doesn't know much about affairs outside the U.S.
