"A hollow force incapable of sustaining the missions it is assigned." This is exactly matching Mao Tsedong's remarks during the Korean war: Paper tiger!

The race has turned into less of a competition between candidates and more a waiting game of who messes up the worst. In that regard Paul and Gingritch are the best. Ron Paul always sticks to his principles and he has decades of speaking on those (without notes or prompters might I add) and Newt is a professional passive talker, he's very calculating and rarely says anything he can't back up.

The race is Romney's to lose though. As much as I love Dr. Paul his small, staunch following is fairly exclusive and his straight talking, blatant honesty just doesn't appeal to the voting populous.

Foreign policy doesnt matter in the big picture. Elections are won and lost on the economy. This is particularly true now, since Obama has copied and expanded so much of the Bush administration's policy.

Get rid of the deficit, get spending under control, pass a budget (something the Obama administration has failed to do for years), give the economy a chance to recover. Those are the issues that will decide the election.

This bunch of GOP candidades know squat about foreign policy.

The other day Cain claimed he would have done things differently from President Obama and then admitted he couldn't say how because he "hadn't been briefed."

If that wasn’t illustrative enough of the clumsy, ignorant attitude of this current crop of GOP candidates toward foreign policy, Gingrich initially supported America getting involved in Libya, and then criticized President Obama when he did!

Clueless, and a threat to America’s security if voters are foolish enough to send any of them to the Oval Office.

DS - "Get rid of the deficit, get spending under control, pass a budget "

The GOP/TP have already clearly shown they won't have a bar of any of this.
