"The central tenets of the Center for Security and Diplomacy were restoring U.S. leadership, maintaining a strong military and getting tough on terrorism," Gordon said. "That matches exactly with Herman Cain's views on foreign policy. His overarching philosophy is an extension of the Reagan doctrine: peace through strength and clarity."

Those who have joined Cain's campaign: Robert Brockhaus, who was community relations manager at the Heritage Foundation and one of the founders of CSD

Matt Martini, a former legislative correspondent for former Rep. Mark Green (R-WI)

Mark Pfeifle, who worked with Gordon at the Pentagon and then served as deputy assistant for strategic communications in President George W. Bush's National Security Council

Roger Pardo Maurer was deputy assistant secretary of Defense for the Western Hemisphere (specialist in the field of Afghanistan) from 2001 to 2006 under Rumsfeld. He's advising Cain on the wars in the Middle East.

Manny Rosales was assistant administrator at the Small Business Administration during the Bush presidency, and then served as deputy director of coalitions at the Republican National Committee.

Joseph Humire, a former Marine and senior fellow at the Atlas Economic Research Foundation, which works to establish free market think tanks in foreign countries.

Gordon and the rest of the foreign policy team work with Clark Barrow, the campaign's coordinator on policy matters. Barow gives Cain his daily briefing on all domestic and international news. Gordon chips in on most days with one-page briefs on specific foreign policy issues.

If any other GOP candidate had unveiled a team made up of low level aides and PR staffers the people on this forum would have attacked him/her without mercy.And would have been justified in doing so.

One of Cain’s strengths as a president will be surrounding himself with people who know what they are doing and how to do it. It’s a must in business, and exactly what we need to dig America out of the pit Obama has put us in.

I like.

But if he’d put one guy in a cubicle whose entire job was to “Say No to Giving Money to Countries that Aren’t Our Friends”, that would be a lot better foreign policy than we have now!

Cain is demonstrating what an exceptional CEO does. You find the best people you can to advise you.

Hey, sickoflibs, this is how Herman Cain handles problems like the true CEO he is. Not bad, huh?

a former staffer for House Foreign Affairs Committee chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL).

She was one of the few Republicans with the courage and intelligence to stand up to 0baMugabe and Hillary and say the right things about Honduras in 2009.

He needs John Bolton in there. Pity no one is talking about the clusterf**k called Kosovo. America's involvement and backing with NATO of the wrong side in a conflict....bombing America's allies in 2 wars

It may come back to bite us in the azz when NATO and the world wants us to give back the SW to Mehico and laRaza.
