Romney Channels George W. Bush's Middle East Policy

Reader comment on item: Romney Channels George W. Bush's Middle East Policy

Submitted by Judith (United States), Oct 8, 2012 at 15:35

Dear Dr. Pipes,

I could not agree with you more! It seems neither side of the aisle ever gets the best advice on Middle East Policy. That said, once Mitt is in the driver's seat, perhaps the failed policies of the past will be re-evaluated with the right advisors! Methinks it may be strategic on Mr. Romney's part to address issues in a fashion he believes more politically viable with such a seemingly confused and misled group of voters in this country, in no small part due to most of the press. Hum? Either he has not been paying attention to reality or he decided to punt this one! Hope it's the latter. A carefully crafted speech can tighten the noose on the opponent and take leverage away. Let us hope he needs your phone number real soon! I have a hunch he will use it!
