Mitt sure does know how to blather on. What is he really saying? What we’re seeing is a region’s countries settle its own destinies. ---

“Can’t kill our way out of this. . .” That’s an interesting direction, Mitt. ---

Mitt wants to help the world of Islam turn away from funamentalism and “we can’t kill our way out of this”, but he’s basically been ranting about Iran and war for the last year ---

ME is much more than Islamic. Gosh, Mitt. Obama also seems talky/wordy. Ooh, taking it to Mitt’s camp. “go after the bad guys”. He took his map from W’s book. Fucking A-winning hearts and minds rears it’s stupid head again. You think in 4 years you’ll create gender equality, Mittens? You don’t even support that HERE. ---

“We can not kill out of this mess.” Ah early Romnesia! Remember Mitt, you are getting the same crowd in your cabinet that believed exactly that. …And then he just said that we should kill them. Romnesia in less than 2 minutes. ---

Mitt: “We want to get the Muslim world to reject extremism on its own.” Piece of cake. Do that in the morning and have a nap in the afternoon. ---

“Get the Muslim world to reject extremism on its own.” Sorta following the theme of self-deportation — it’s a do-it-yourself world. ---
