It is as I have noted from the beginning. None of the front runners has a CLUE on foreign policy.

JFK had no foreign policy experience, yet he has the biggest foreign policy success story of any President in the history of the country (his well-documented leadership during the Missile Crisis, during which he prevented the world from being destroyed). That is the closest the world has come to being destroyed, yet Kennedy knew better than to attack Russia or Cuba. Imagine had he not stolen the election from Dicky!

Well, on this site Shaun already outdid Obama’s campaign guy (who also blamed Bush and Iraq), and was the first to swallow an entire leg. And now he can make the same false, ridiculous charges against Dem party hack Krugman as he made against me.

somebody – I agree with your point and add Biden to the list. But voters want someone to drink with or change a tire, not call up the USSR leader and tell him to get his missiles the fu## out of Cuba. Nor would Eisenhower have a chance today, he “cut and ran” from Korea.

Dont get excited about “They can surround themselves with smart guys” Presidents prove time after time after time they surround themselves with YES men.

All of them. This batch of egomaniacs will be no different.

Everyone should humbly bow out of this race except Bill Richardson and Hunter Duncan and let the country decide who has the better plan dealing with foreign affairs, the economy, immigration, debt and Global warming. Then let the people decide.

Where is George Bush Sr. when you need him? Is it too late for Colin Powell to enter the race??

President Bush and all the presidential candidates that made comments about the Bhutto assassination came off looking shaky in my opinion. This was terrorism winning. And nothing we could say nor do would have stopped this. This is a time for the Pakistanis to DEAL WITH THEIR PROBLEM.

Frankly I’m not caught up in how crass, cold, smooth, etc. someone looked responding to the tragedy. I just want the Pakistanis to DEAL WITH THEIR PROBLEM. All the political cool point grabs here in the USA makes my hair fall out.
