I’m not sure what Romney’s point really was back in 2007. However, IMO, Obozo’s comment was ill-timed and ill-conceived in that the U.S. should NEVER give away to our enemies what actions we will or might take during a time of war, at least not through a public statement.

Well said.

Advertsising your intentions beforehand, whether about whom you will attack, where...or when you plan to add or withdraw troops...gives the enemy an advantage they do not deserve, and that can and will endanger US personnel.

I thought Reomney's best reply was that, "Even Jimmy Carter would have made this order."

Romney's point was to do what he always does: say one thing and then flip-flop on it later. Free Republic is full of threads chronicling the plethora of flip-flops from Romney.

Rino Romney hedges his bets and then pivots later. That is his MO.

Apparently making those comments public didn't save Bin Laden’s hide, BTW.
