The format calls for six 15-minute segments, each devoted to one international topic. Mr. Schieffer himself got to pick these subjects, and they are as follows:
• America’s role in the world.
• Our longest war – Afghanistan and Pakistan.
• Red lines – Israel and Iran.
• The changing Middle East and the new face of terrorism, Part 1.
• The changing Middle East and the new face of terrorism, Part 2.
• The rise of China and tomorrow’s world.
Schieffer gives his first gift to Obama: nothing about the Western Hemisphere and our neighbors. Any mention of Mexico would have opened the door to Fast and Furious.
I don’t know why Romney or one of the PACs haven’t been running ads on Spanish language stations nonstop about Fast and Furious, especially after Univision opened the door, but closed it when the president’s wife was bought off with an ambassadorship.
