WASHINGTON (CNN) – Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney delivered a scathing criticism of President Obama's Afghanistan strategy Friday night, accusing the president of delivering rhetoric and not action in the war-torn country.
Quoting from a speech Obama delivered in March, Romney agreed with the president "that 'we are in Afghanistan to confront a common enemy that threatens the United States, our friends and allies."' Romney continued on seconding the president: "I believe 'that to succeed, we and our friends and allies must reverse the Taliban's gains, and promote a more capable and accountable Afghan government.'"

"This is a pivotal time in the history of our country," Romney said at his political action committee's office. As the Republican Party searches for ways to rebound and find leaders it can turn to, Romney clearly is trying to position himself to be one of them.
Get bent, Myth!

Sorry, Mitt, but we gave that job to Sarah.

Romney can call upon the deep military history of his family to assure us he’d be a better military leader.

Hey Mitt...did you buy your "Captian Obvious" uniform yet?
Quit trying to buy the presidency...it's not for sale...and you don't have the advantage of EEO.
We have been talking about obama's disregard for the troops for several months, and here in the middle of November Romney gets a brain fart and informs us of all the wrongs of Afghanistan.
Well, there's nothing like waiting for the outcome to make a prediction...that way you're always right.
Go back to sleep, mitt.

See, this is the residual effect of being the “big tent” party. You get guys like Romney in the fold and you can’t really truly get rid of them.
(well, I tend to be pessimistic, as it seems no matter how many times Romney gets pwn3d, he just won’t go away).

I haven’t seen any sign of that. If Mitt said he likes ice cream, you guys would find something nefarious about it.
I like him. And, no, I’m not a RINO. Don’t know that he’s my pick. I still prefer Rudy.
But he’d be a heck of a lot better than what we got last time...or what we have in the White House now.

Who is going to protect us from Romney?
I know, the voters. Just like they protected us from Obama.
We're hosed if Romney comes anywhere near getting the GOP nomination for 2012.

Best line in the story is that thieving Mitt's
"
political action committee, Free and Strong America, has raised more than $2.6 million this year
(but only given out a paltry) $118,000 in contributions, according to financial records and the PAC."
Stingy Mitt the RINO.

Yep -- get lost, Mitt. You're the Eddie Haskell of the Republican party. Go try to snow some private boardrooms, where the damage you do will do less damage to us taxpayers and freedom-lovers.
Me, I'm on the verge of sending money to Marco Rubio and openly encouraging others to support his campaign against Charlie Crist in the upcoming Florida Republican primary for U.S. Senate. CONSERVATIVES NEED TO TAKE BACK THE REPUBLICAN PARTY -- the NY23 was the wake-up call.
This race is the next on the list, it seems to me. Do any FReepers know of any reason I shouldn't send money to Rubio and urge others to join me?

I like him.Do you really buy that he "converted" from liberal to "conservative" just timely for the GOP primaries?
Mitt is a fraud.
