Romney's empty foreign policy agendaBy Michèle A. Flournoy, Colin H. Kahl and Marc Lynch, Special to CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/02/opinion/flournoy-kaul-lynch-romney/index.html
"SNIP..............................................
Yet in a recent op-ed calling for a "new course" for the region, Romney refused, as usual, to outline any policy specifics, instead putting forth platitudes and falsehoods about President Barack Obama's record.
Romney likes to criticize the president's handling of Israel and Iran and to recycle tired attacks on his record on Israel. But he repeatedly sidesteps the facts, ignoring Obama's unprecedented efforts to make our closest ally in the Middle East more secure.
Under Obama's leadership, Israel has received record levels of security assistance, including aid for rocket defenses that have saved Israeli lives, and our defense and intelligence cooperation has never been better.
The president has forged an international coalition to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Under the most crippling sanctions ever imposed, Tehran's economy is floundering and has never been more isolated. Obama has repeatedly vowed to use all instruments of national power to ensure Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon, taking no option off the table.

that they won't be able to gin up enough fear and loathing to "shock and awe" Iran? Netanyahu clearly seems to be getting desperate, judging by his hand-drawn (?) pictures of an Iranian nuke.

It is hard to debate someone who stands for nothing.
