I read the whole article. There is no way this is an attack or Cain Derangement Syndrome. Why are we so defensive when our candidates are questioned?
If Cain cannot answer policy questions with something more than, “I would wait to get all the facts, then decide on the proper course of action, then act.” is not going to wear well with the electorate. He can paint a broad picture of how a given situation, i.e. Libya, fits into his overall foreign policy position, but I will not vote for someone who says, in essence, you’ll have to elect me to find out what I would do.
I appreciate his methodology, it is great for explaining how he would attack a problem, but it is not very helpful in determine actual policy positions. I very much respect the man, and I think he could be part of a ticket that could send Obama packing. But I want some substantive answers to legitimate questions.
IMHO...
Libya in 2013 ? Who knows who the government of Libya will be in 2013 ? Who knows what will have happened in any of the mideast by then ? I would think there’s a rather high probability of war between Israel and muslims by then.
No candidate can really answer what their stance is other than “we don’t know who the revolutionaries are, exactly”.
Egypt I guess is going with the muslim brohood-nazi faction.
I honestly think the only mideast knowledge a President needs is to basically know that Israel is our only friend over there; the rest hate us to varying degrees and virtually always lie to us.
I guess a candidate might not want to phrase it quite that way. /sarc
