Well this is one of the other reasons you should never vote for Romney an on CBS comment sections 100 at least a lot of them are firing back at Romney for his foreign policy speech.

In Policy Speech Romney would encourage more military spending, Syria intervention and arming the Syrian opposition the FSA in Sryia and No withdraw from Afghanistan

NBC news (http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/08/14279951-in-foreign-policy-speech-romney-will-encourage-military-spending-syria-intervention#comments)

The speech links the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi last month to al-Qaida, a position Romney has rarely engaged in on the campaign trail. Romney calls the attack "likely the work of the same forces that attacked our homeland on September 11th, 2001," and "the deliberate work of terrorists." The attack was not, he says, a spontaneous response to a movie trailer maligning the Muslim Prophet Mohammad, as the Obama administration initially said.




Romney’s remarks also attempt to stake out a more activist public position than President Obama on supporting the rebels in Syria's civil war. Romney plans to say that he believes in working with partner nations to arm rebels fighting the government of Syrian President Bashir al-Assad.

He would equip the rebels – “who share our values” -- with heavy weapons to take out "tanks, helicopters and fighter jets," according to the remarks. The Obama administration has refrained from doing so out of concern that the weapons would end up in terrorist hands, according to The New York Times.


Romney will also argue that the U.S. must support the rebels to develop influence and good relations with the Syria’s future leaders.



"Mainstream foreign policy isn't what Mitt Romney is putting forward: having plans to start wars but not end them; wanting to keep 30,000 U.S. troops in Iraq indefinitely; exploding our defense spending to levels the Pentagon has not asked for, with no way to pay for it; insulting our allies and partners around the world on the campaign trail; and calling Russia our number-one geopolitical foe," Obama campaign spokesperson Lis Smith said in a statement Sunday. "If that's where Mitt Romney thinks the mainstream is, he needs to find a better compass."

Mitt Romney: 'I would arm the Syrian rebels'
Republican presidential candidate is to call for an escalation of the conflict in Syria in a major foreign policy address


Mitt Romney will call for an escalation of the conflict in Syria by arming rebels with the heavy weapons needed to confront president Bashar al-Assad's tanks, helicopters and fighter jets.



Romney is to make the proposal on Monday in what his campaign Romney is to make the proposal on Monday in what his campaign team has billed as a major foreign policy speech in Lexington, Virginia.



he opened up the prospect, if he becomes president, of a US-Iranian proxy war being fought in Syria.

But wait this only the tip of the ice break.


"I share this hope. But hope is not a strategy. We cannot support our friends and defeat our enemies in the Middle East when our words are not backed up by deeds," he said.

He warned Iran not to pursue a nuclear weapon capability and said the US had to back this up "through actions, not just words", and urged an expansion of the aircraft carrier presence in the eastern Mediterranean and the Gulf.




he said he would not be tied to the deadline set by Obama for withdrawal by the end of 2014 and hinted he might delay it.

"The route to more war – and to potential attacks here at home – is a politically timed retreat that abandons the Afghan people to the same extremists who ravaged their country and used it to launch the attacks of 9/11," he said.



Romney his polices.

-If Romney Wins he would encourage more military spending.

-Romney would encourage the Syrian intervention as Obama did with his Libyan intervention, Romney isn't concerned that the Free Sryian Army are nothing more then Terrorists who had been in Kosovo to train with the KLA.

-Romney urged an expansion of the aircraft carrier presence in the eastern Mediterranean and the Gulf.

-War on Terror is now renamed as War on the West

"who are fighting to control much of the Middle East today; and who seek to wage perpetual war on the west."

-The only Reason Romney wants to Arm the Free Syrian Army and its Islamist fighters is that so Sryia can be a puppet towards to America and Romney already admitted it.

As if its already a done deal.


Romney anticipated that the rebels will one day lead the country and the US should align itself with them, given the country's position at the heart of the Middle East.

That means that a Future Syrian Government whatever that would be a Muslim Brotherhood leader or a different left or right wing candidate it wouldn't matter Sryia will be a fully satellite country to America, and as Romney mentions it out in the open.

The American Sphere of Influence.


The Bad News for anyone thinking on voting for Romney. Romney is a Hardcore NeoCon as much as John McCain.


He has a large team of foreign policy advisers – more than 30 – a mixture of realists and neo-conservatives. The aggressive language in the extracts of his speech released indicate he is leaning towards the neo-conservatives.

If Romney Wins the election, he would became the second neo-conservative president of the united states someone with a lot more radical view similars to those of John McCain its not a surprise McCain endorsed him.

Romney winning the election would mean the start of WW3.

Or, stated another way: The massive instability and violence in the Middle East is the result of insufficient US involvement. If only we send more weapons and get more aggressive when it comes to starving, torturing, and bombing people, things will settle down and become more friendly to US interests.

Barry's Big Fascist Medical System is here to stay. The RED TEAM won't repeal it, and has only promised to replace it with the R version. Take heart! It's like RP said, the bankruptcy of the country will repeal it.


Romney will lose whatever gains he made at the first debate

So instead he insists that the cruel and pointless sanctions policy Obama has pursued against Iran is not harsh and punitive enough, and he complains that the completely defensible reluctance to become ensnared in Syria’s civil war represents some sort of failure rather than a wise avoidance of another unnecessary foreign commitment. To the extent that he has genuine disagreements on policy, he has displayed recklessness and seems eager to provoke other governments to no purpose. If Romney restates these views next week, he will remind the public once again that he has poor judgment and would not conduct foreign policy very well.

The decision to give yet another foreign policy speech at this stage in the election is strange. Romney gave a terrible speech at the VFW convention before he left for Europe, and then in Poland he gave a completely forgettable speech. His convention acceptance speech touched on foreign policy issues in passing, and what he had to say there was almost entirely boilerplate. If Monday’s speech is anything like his recent almost unanimously ridiculed op-ed, Romney would be better off saying nothing at all. Romney finally has some momentum in the election, and he is preparing to squander it to placate people in his own coalition who will vote for him no matter what happens.

Why do Republicans see Bush's foreign policy as helping them?
