Thompson is great on the Iranian speed boats. “Introduce them to the virgins they are looking for.”
Giuliani good too. Hucabee allright. McCain allright. Ron Paul is just no good on this. He forgets the USS Cole that was bombed by a speedboat. Wrong on Iran too. Romney quip on RP reading Achngidad press releases was a little sharp - and warranted. Romney answer all right.
McCain good on Democrats and Iraq. He claims his credit, and then some, on the surge. Very good on Petreus!
Giuliani gets a tough question on Bush’s initiative on Palestinian Authority. Allright answer.
Oh no, Paul. Israel working with moderate Arab nations against Hussein?
McCain is putting the right focus on US casualties, not prescence or time in place.
Thompson. Good going after NYT. Gets a tough question on Pakistan. Very good answer. He is the first to mention Pakistan nukes and the need to keep them away from terrorists.
Romney is doing well to mention Islam and extremist schools.
Huckabee going wrong to push accountability so much during war. To some degree he is going where the liberal press leads him. He is doing well to emphasize Israel - and ping Paul.
Giuliani is the “best of” the other candidates. Those are the plusses and minuses of coming last.
Thompson again. Doing well in supporting the Pakistan military.
