The Olympics are domestic UK affairs?
Point taken. If something like Munich were to happen, it certainly would not be a “local Munich matter.”
But it’s going to be taken that way by the Brits. (Not that I’m agreeing with them.)
It’s nice to see Mitt “Whatever You Want To Hear; Just LIKE ME” Romney having the guts to piss off his hosts, I’ll give him/ you that much.
But I so fear Obama’s somehow winning this thing, that I’d prefer Mitt just smile and wave, at least when overseas and being asked about the local security.
Another way of putting it is: Romney is a better wordsmith than this. He could have lightly addressed the same issue with the same substance, yet had it SOUND like a compliment. E.g., “I read about the private security team having some issues, but I’ve since also heard about the swift response to make things right.” Blabbity blab.
