Romney: "I feel we should have a leadership position, but fuck no, we won't send in our troops."
Yep, That will work well.

Romney's stuttering.

He is worried about literally looking like he is coming out guns blazing. No one wants another war and if Obama can paint Romney as a warmonger, Romney loses.
Looks like England still remembers his visit.

That sound you hear is millions of TVs switching over to Monday Night Football, and to a lesser degree MLB Baseball. Americans dont give a fuck about Syria. At all.
haha, just don't vote republican until you get there
This is completely insane, Obama is killing it beyond what I thought he would.

Well democrat and republican foreign policy tends to feel that way. Are we forgetting Pakistan and drone strikes?

They sure as hell don't care about the people in the US going hungry/broke or protecting the poor. It's just a bullet point.

SYRIA
Obama
- Have organised international community saying Assad has to go.
- Have isolated Assad.
- Continued humanitarian efforts.
- Consulting our partners in the region (e.g., Egypt and Turkey).
- Will do what we can to help the syrian opposition.
- Must make sure we know who we are helping before we commit fully (i.e.,
by providing heavy weapons to opposition).
- We are taking the lead.
- Romney opposed hunting and taking out Qadaffi, thought it was mission creep (was ok for taking out regime).
- Romney does not have different ideas of Syria. We are trying to promote a moderate Syrian leadership.
Romney
- Humanitarian disaster.
- A threat to Israel. Removing Assad is a high priority.
- Don't want military conflict. Need to organise partners in the region that will
take the lead in Syria. Then make sure that they have the necessary arms.
- Coordinate with our allies, particularly Israel.
- Make sure that insurgents that become armed are responsible parties.
- Want to see Syria as a friend when all is done.
- Obama's strategy was to let others take the lead (UN and then Russia).
- US should have taken the lead. America can help form a unity/council group.

I love how we talk more about how idiots will be swayed by the temperament and body language of the candidates than what they are saying.
Debates for most of us is just to watch the circus...no actual interest in what they are talking about.
I'm equally guilty, but wtf are we doing? :lol

Obama lying about America being a democracy. America is a republic.
Are you okay?
Pretty well. This is not contentious. Nobody is talking over anybody. Romney is basically just saying, "Me too."
ah no.
