al-Qaeda
Do you think al-Qaeda is coming back/a threat or do you think everything is under control under the Obama administration?
Re: al-Qaeda
Do you truly believe everything would be under control under a Romney administration?
I don't but I just never felt that obama is a strong leader and neither do some other leaders in other countries.
I see Romney as more presidential and feel he would be taken more seriously. Obama skips out on meeting world leaders and meetings in general more than he should. I don't think that is good leadership. Staying informed is key.
This terrorist group will grow and pop up no matter who is in the White House. As long as they perceive Western ideas/thoughts and money in their turf, they will persue destruction of Western ways and of Western people.
While I agree that Obama is not a strong leader - even he gave himself an "incomplete" - he, or Romney, can do very little against this group except to protect innocents, Americans, and other Westerners from harm.
That is hilarious. Which leaders in other countries are you referring to? Please enlighten me.
Obama had so much work to do to put the US back in the good graces of the rest of the world after the fiasco of GWB's presidency. We were reviled by much of the world then.
I honestly do not think an over privileged, out of touch misogynist is going to help anything. Why would it? And Al-Qaeda leaders will never openly fear the US. Do our leaders say they fear the Al- Qaeda leadership?
Terrorism will neve end. The US will always have enemies who hate what the country stands for. Forever. Get real.
Who?
give me a little bit to find the source. I just heard it last week
I want to know who you're referring to as well.
Maybe I have a biased memory of this summer, but it seemed like Romney pissed off a lot more foreign leaders than Obama ever has.
Obama is far and away better than the current French president or the former French president.
I don't see anything about Romney that would make me think he would be better at foreign relations than Obama.
I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation!
I'm sorry we got bad news this morning that a friend of DH's passed away and I'm not anywhere , where i can pull it up. you will have to take my word, although I'm sure you won't
al-Quada is in far, far worse shape now than it was in 2008, and no where near where it was in 2000. Who deserves credit is certainly something you can debate until you're blue in the face. You can probably spread that credit around to the military, our allies, the Obama administration, and even the global recession. al-Quada leadership also made some serious blunders by tacitly encouraging certain attacks on moderate Muslims in arab countries. Moderate Muslims were much more supportive of al-Quada when their focus was on Israel and the Western world. My understanding is al-Quada has a bit of an image problem and just can't recruit or fund raise like it was once able to.
