It's starting now, and I thought someone should make a thread.

Livestream here.

This one is all foreign affairs. I look forward to seeing how ignorant most of them are.

    hah, ron paul and new gingrich got the huge applause

    Oh good, starting off with a high level of crazy. Herman Cain wants to support a revolution in Iran.

    Only one person in this group is probably not crazy. But that is because Huntsmen is a former ambassador and is pretty smart.

    And is Cain talking about the green revolution? You know the one that has been violently stomped down?

    "He should have supported covert action on the ground."

    How would we have known if he did or didn't?

    We'll see how long this blog lasts

    Damnit I gotta wait to finish watching this Kanye West concert before I can watch the debate.

    Keep up reporting the crazy!

    I'm so glad I'm at work and will miss this one. As a FR buff, the front runners positions leading to this debate are headscratchers, to put it kindly.

    Romney, "Lets do exactly what the Obama administration is doing, but because it is me it will work." *face palm*

    Sanctions haven't worked, and saying America supports your movement doesn't do shit. Covert Ops are way too risky.

    I think Newt just said we should assassinate their scientist.

    Oh right, the smart way- assassinating all Iranian nuclear scientists. Good thinking Newt.

    This worked so well last time, after all.

    The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

    'there are lots of ways to be smart about iran

    a few ways to be dumb

    the current administration has leapfrogged all of the smart ways'

    These Moderators, aside from the "I don't know how the time allocation works" moment, are rather pointed tonight.

    Let me say this loud and clear; Afghanistan cannot be secured by outside forces.

    Lack of support? He put the troops in and more resources in Afganistan. And Taliban isn't a security threat? Why do they control a good chunk of Afghanistan still?

    Huntsmen must be using all his control to not face palm when these people are talking.

    If we strip Iran of all life, we can push them back indefinitely! Exterminatus!

    Huntsman bringing it back to economy.

    Also showing he knows what the fuck he is saying.

    Wait, another one?

    Wait, is Mitt saying we shouldn't be leaving the middle east?

  • Pi-r8Pi-r8 Registered User regular
    I can't help but feel like "let's do whatever the commanders in the field recommend" is bullshit. No general is ever going to give up their power- they'll always just ask for more and more soldiers. At some point the president needs to reign them in.

  • deadonthestreetdeadonthestreet Registered User regular
    Obama is the worst because he wants troops out in september rather than December next year.

  • Capt HowdyCapt Howdy Registered User regular
    The only way to "secure" afghanistan is to go in full force, all guns firing, all bombs dropping, and raze the country. We will not, should not do that. Afghanistan is just a giant money and resource sink unless we play for keeps.

    And of course violence has sprung up elsewhere. It's like an ant infestation in your yard. You poison the hill, so the ants move to another spot. Poison and repeat.

    Military is under civilian control for a reason, yes.

    To see the cloud from that, it would almost be worth it.

    Did he just say we'll, instead of giving money, we'll just ship jobs over there?

  • galenbladegalenblade Registered User regular
    Wow. Hammering on foreign aid after being asked a question about Pakistan's duplicity.

    I swear, it's like he just reads the Republican Cliff's Notes and tries to make a connection somewhere.
