Fox News attributes the following quote to Romney in their transcript, when the CBS transcript indicates that it is Obama:<br /><br />"Now, it is absolutely true that we cannot just meet these challenges militarily. And so what I've done throughout my presidency and will continue to do is, number one, make sure that these countries are supporting our counterterrorism efforts.<br /><br />Number two, make sure that they are standing by our interests in Israel's security, because it is a true friend and our greatest ally in the region.<br /><br />Number three, we do have to make sure that we're protecting religious minorities and women because these countries can't develop unless all the population, not just half of it, is developing.<br /><br />Number four, we do have to develop their economic -- their economic capabilities.<br /><br />But number five, the other thing that we have to do is recognize that we can't continue to do nation building in these regions. Part of American leadership is making sure that we're doing nation building here at home. That will help us maintain the kind of American leadership that we need."<br /><br /><br />Funny how "slicing and dicing" can change everything, huh?Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120601902600481416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-19809108665293732192012-10-24T04:45:32.057-05:002012-10-24T04:45:32.057-05:00Darn it.

I left off the Obama "zinger" that Fox News omitted:<br /><br />OBAMA: Governor Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that Al Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not Al Qaida; you said Russia, in the 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years.Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120601902600481416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-79671515947698831992012-10-24T04:43:47.511-05:002012-10-24T04:43:47.511-05:00Here is something quite interesting (but not neces...Here is something quite interesting (but not necessarily surprising):<br /><br />In the transcipts posted after last night's debate, there is a very distinct gap in the transcript from Fox News vs. the other news outlets (I will use the CBS transcript):<br /><br />http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/22/transcript-presidential-debate-on-foreign-policy-at-lynn-university/<br /><br />http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57537805/transcript-of-final-2012-presidential-debate/?pageNum=2&tag=page<br /><br />What is missing, you ask? How about this, for starters:<br /><br />"OBAMA: But Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s.<br />You say that you're not interested in duplicating what happened in Iraq. But just a few weeks ago, you said you think we should have more troops in Iraq right now. And the -- the challenge we have -- I know you haven't been in a position to actually execute foreign policy -- but every time you've offered an opinion, you've been wrong. You said we should have gone into Iraq, despite that fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction.<br />You said that we should still have troops in Iraq to this day. You indicated that we shouldn't be passing nuclear treaties with Russia despite the fact that 71 senators, Democrats and Republicans, voted for it. You said that, first, we should not have a timeline in Afghanistan. Then you said we should. Now you say maybe or it depends, which means not only were you wrong, but you were also confusing in sending mixed messages both to our troops and our allies.<br />OBAMA: So, what -- what we need to do with respect to the Middle East is strong, steady leadership, not wrong and reckless leadership that is all over the map. And unfortunately, that's the kind of opinions that you've offered throughout this campaign, and it is not a recipe for American strength, or keeping America safe over the long haul."<br /><br /><br />Again, I am not surprised that Fox News as done this, just that it goes unchallenged and unreported.Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120601902600481416noreply@blogger.com
