Good description. Seems like a nice guy but he’s wrong.
Obama’s entire mideast policy going up in flames and Romney shouldn’t mention it?
I think instead of getting bogged down in details and parsing words (in lawyer fashion) Romney should explain the BIG PICTURE:
1. The apology tour didn’t work;
2. No respect = more dangerous world for everyone and especially the United States;
3. Energy independence means we aren’t dependent on mideast oil and won’t be drawn into wars there;
4. We can’t allow a militant state that has a history of backing terrorists to get a nuke; and
5. Why are we apologizing for Free Speech rights? We need to educate the rest of the world how a free democracy works, not apologize for our basic God-given rights.
My thoughts are that Obama’s Middle East foreign policy is a steaming train wreck, and even folks with little interest in the rest of the world can sense that. The encounter on Libya in the last debate, which some felt was an error by Romney (and I disagree) merely served to call more attention to Obama’s failure. I think this will be the same issue in the 3rd debate, whether Romney handles it well or not. Any more attention on this subject is to the detriment of the President.

You nailed it!
Seems hard for them to get around this:
If they knew it was a terror attack, (and said it was) then why run the ad over there about the video, make speeches about the video and, most especially, put a target on the back of that film maker, necessitating him being taken into custody (for his own protection maybe), and making more people upset about something they would not even know about?
I can’t think of any possible way to explain this in a remotely credible way. They put that video guy in danger and drew attention to something that put more lives in danger as well.
