Mohammad says Cruise missiles go BOOM on Libya

Former U.S. Ambassador to China and presidential candidate Jon Huntsman said on Friday that Mitt Romney’s response to the violent protests in the Middle East and North Africa posed a “problem” for the man he endorsed several months ago.
Romney’s decision to criticize the Obama administration was ill-advised and was a lost opportunity, Huntsman said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “This was an opportunity to instruct, to elucidate, to educate, to talk about how you put the pieces back together again in North Africa and the Middle East,” he said. “Not to condemn, not to criticize, not to turn it into a political event, but to explain to the American people what we're going to do during a time of need, during a time of crisis, during a time of uncertainty.”
In a time where relations between the U.S. and the Arab world is strained, and questions surrounding the broader implications of the Arab Springs are prevalent, Huntsman said that Romney should have explained his position on the democratic uprisings of late.
“I don't know what Governor Romney is proposing at this point,” Huntsman said.
While protests were still taking place outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, where protesters breached the compound, Romney went after President Obama for what he called “apologizing” for the U.S. The Romney campaign cited a statement by the embassy that condemned religious intolerance.
Obama has pledged to “bring those who killed our fellow Americans to justice.” On Friday, Huntsman praised the president for his actions in the wake of the tragedy overseas.
“The president has said that he will go after those who killed our American diplomats abroad,” Huntsman said. “I think these are things that all Americans can rally around.”

Who cares what this jackass thinks? He’s less relevant than Charlie Crist.
BS
To hell with this guy.
I would agree but we are going to see a lot of both Huntsman and queer charlie between now and November. they , after all, represent the ‘sane sensible moderates ‘ who the evil ‘extremist’ GOP is forcing out and into the Democrats ranks. (barf alert)
Charlie Crist without the tan?
See? The press won't be the only ones to back 0bama's "Rally Round the Flag" play. This was planned and asswipes like Huntsman were counted on to be asswipes.
How I wish the idjits would simply keel over and die. Horribly.
The problem is that despite all of the attacks since 1979, our government refuses to acknowledge that we are at war with Islam. Every mosque is an enemy outpost.
Can anyone give me a good reason why Huntsman did not have a speech slot at the DNC?
Horsecrap! I am sick and tired of being kicked in the nuts, being told it was my fault, and being lectured by the kumbaya-klowns about how I should be making nice to these cretins. Huntsman needs a comfy chair and a nice hot cup of STFU!
They only bring him on because he’s a Mormon and they hope he’ll divide the Mormon vote.
If there were to be a Crist/Huntsman or a Huntsman/Crist ticket, who would be on top, and who would be the bottom? Ahem.
Mohammad says Cruise missiles go BOOM on Libya
I would prefer to be deaf than have to listen to ANYTHING Jon Huntsman, Jr. or Sr. says and I am appalled that the father and son of one of the most celebrated entrepreneurs in our country has been negated because of their liberal leanings. Morons know what Obama and the democRATS are doing to our country.
For all you Obama fans out there, let’s do a quick review. This week: four U.S. citizens dead, several embassys set ablaze, Iran ready to create a nuclear bomb, the US economy downgraded, 16Trillion in debt, 40Million + added to food stamps, etc., etc., etc.
Is this the sort of change you were hoping for? Obama must go. As the legend Clint Eastwood stated, “If you’re not doing the job, you gotta let em go.” This November will be Obama’s pink slip. Our way of life depends on his exiting the stage. 2012 will be an end of an ERROR.

Huntsman, Huntsman, Huntsman - hum?
Isn’t that the guy who tried to kill “Snow White” at the order of the evil queen, why would we care what he says.
The liberal POS worked for Obama for crying out loud
If only Huntsman would slither back under his rock and stay there.
Huntsman is a Democrat plant, gaining credibility by being a planted “candidate.”
John McCain told Hannity that relations with the Arab world aren’t strained, it’s just the malcontents are making life difficult for the peaceful elected leaders of the Arab Spring.
These 7th century fleas are pretty good at making it impossible to define the enemy. That way, no matter what anybody says, someone like Huntsman or McCain can be offended.
The only way to quell them is to level Mecca. That’s the only definable point in common.
Basically Huntsman is as nuts today as he was the day he agreed to turn his back on America and become Obama’s voice in Big China.
They’re killing our people and burning down our embassies ~ hardly the time to engage in detached discussions .......... much better to bring in some firepower and make the little batardes pay
Huntsman is a narcissist as great as Obama. He is just an unlucky narcissist, a fate worse than any he could imagine. It will eat at him for the rest of his life and leave him an embittered old man.
since when has that been defined as a “ticket”???
The only “problem” we have is Huntsman.
codswallup
Ain't gonna happen.
Total war and beat them into submission is the only answer because their religious beliefs of total world domination.
Huntsman recommends doing in the ME and N Africa what we’ve been doing for decades with exactly no results. Is this not the very definition of insanity?
I think you owe a royalty payment to Mark Steyn for using that word.
It was taken by Charlie Crist?
I was just googling that word and nobody seems to know where it came from. I have always liked it. I always assumed it meant cod guts or leavings. It is one of those words that you kind of get an idea of what it means just from the way it sounds. You just know it can’t be anything good.
America’s response of no response is a problem of historical precedence!
King Leopold please pick up the white courtesy telephone!
Until now, all those alleged Republicans (the ones who were, according to MSM reporters, apoplectic over Romney's criticism of Obama's apologies) were anonymous.
Now that we have Huntsman's name, we see they weren't quoting a Republican after all.
Ahhh, I see. Well Mark Steyn used it in an article within the last few days. But I agree, it is a wonderful word, especially when used in conjunction with anything the current administration says.
Thank you. Jackass came to mind.
I was afraid to articulate.
I love Mark Steyn. Now there is a fellow who can turn a phrase.
shut the hell up you loser Huntsman...
ROMNEY - Huntsman’s Reaction a Problem
Huntsman, ...Because we needed a Republican who was left of Barry.
Well, let’s get Huntsman as the next ambassador to Libya and then he can show us how things should be done there.
LLS
“Who cares what this jackass thinks? He’s less relevant than Charlie Crist.”
The media needs another RINO media suckup. John McCain getting a bit old.
Being a former Ambassador, Hunstman has ceded his b@ll$ in favor of “tact” and “nuance”. He is incapable of understanding what pure naked truth, and its implications are all about. He thinks Romney should have pulled a Chamberlain like the rest of the Administration. Romney did educate folks - he hinted that sometimes, to put all the pieces back together again, one needs to break a few thongs and make more pieces.
