I had the same concern about candidate Reagan....

[ilgipper]

As long as Cain or any president has the right advisors and listens to the military leadership, that is sufficient. Cain is an excellent decision maker.

Neither Reagan, Clinton, bush43 nor obama has any previous experience other than advisors briefing them.

[MNJohnnie]

Well when the author of the article cannot even get the question Cain was asked right, there really is no reason to waste any time responding to his hyper hysteric ignorance

Here is a clue. The reason certain candidates are polling in single digits is GOP voters are interested in solutions and idea from their candidates not these sort of childish personal attacks.

[CowboyJay]

Cain flunks foreign policy?

LOL. That’s rich.

Perry and Romney both flunk basic ethics. I’ll take my chances with Cain.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Cut the crap! Listen, who the President is and how much knowledge he has in foreign affairs is BS! Obama has been all over the globe partying with leaders. Do you think he actually sits down to discuss foreign policy with them? As I have stated many times before, its not the President, its the people he appoints to the important cabinet positions. He can’t declare war as a President nor can he plan battles. Those in the past that have tried that ended up losing. How many of the Presidents in the last century had experience in foreign affairs before they were elected? (Outside having been in uniform.) I don’t care what the other nations think, I want mine to continue to succeed. Foreign policy should be left up to the NSA and the Sect’y of State. War problems should be the job of the SOD,JCS and the President. Appointments should be made on their proven ability, not a political payback. What we have now is Obama and Friends filling in the top politically appointed departments.

Is this all they’ve got? Obama didn’t know what language they speak in Austria! He, for all his bowing and scraping, didn’t know to shut up for G-d Save The Queen!

I got this far:

A man no one could accuse of being anything but conservative, Bill O'Reilly of Fox News ...

[bwc2221]

Save us from neocons, who are almost as anxious to destroy our country as liberal Democrats.

[chris37]

Yes, he clearly isn’t as skilled at installing radical muslim militants in key middle east countries as the current homo in chief is...

[Safrguns]

At least he knows how many states are in the United States!

[Mariner]

I agree with the author.

Cain is not prepared for the office.

[almost done by half]

How is that sell centered know it all we have now working out for us? ;-)

[nuconvert]

Who is Alan Caruba and why should I care what he thinks of Cain?

[MNJohnnie]

Seems someone who actually knows a few things about Foreign Policy gave everyone BUT Cain a failing grade in Foreign policies

Here is Henry Kissinger thoughts

Kissinger said all the candidates have contacted him but only Cain asked what to do on Foreign policy, all the rest asked Kissinger what they should SAY about it.

Leaders ask for ideas, managers ask for directions

You want leaders in the top slots, not managers

[AnotherUnixGeek]

What would Cain do if Iran was going to unleash an attack on the U.S.?

He'd turn to his military advisers and select the best option they presented him, same as any other president. Or are we expected to believe that the likes of Michelle Bachmann or Rick Santorum would instantly formulate some brilliant, innovative response which would be studied in military academies a century from now? What nonsense.

I don't believe that any of the GOP candidates is a foreign policy wizard, and quite frankly I don't care. Right now, the Sword of Damocles hanging over our heads is the economy.

[TigersEye]

A man no one could accuse of being anything but conservative, Bill O'Reilly of Fox News,...

ROTFLMAO So much for this author's credibility.

[WalterSkinner]

..translation: Cain is not a Wilsonian Globalist, hence unqualified...

[TigersEye]

Cain replied, "After I looked at all of the information provided by the intelligence community, the military, than I could make that decision." That is what is known as a lawyerly response.

As opposed to the famous knee-jerk, pandering know-it-all response to a vague hypothetical question that candidates are prone to give.

Alan Caruba

[BobL]

Good enough for me. Short of a felony conviction, he has my vote and my money. I’m simply NOT going to let the media pick my candidate.

Anyway, he’ll likely have Newt on the ticket, so if he’s a bit weak there, Newt will easily make up for it.
