KS -- -- -- seeing is another battle raged on the campaign trail.
In the days ahead and in the years ahead.
On American foreign policy needs more clarity in the firmness -- purpose.
It's clear that message.
Throughout the that states this week in the United States believe they were -- well -- And professional.
Terrorist attack -- dance the US counts -- doesn't.
We also need to understand that this is a fairly volatile situation it is in response not to United States policy not to the administration not to the American people is in response to.
-- video to think that.
We -- people some.
Follow us.
Just not.
Thank you we appreciate terrorist attack -- carried out by terrorists to.
People of Egypt and Libya.
Yemen and Tunisia.
Did not trade that tear any of a dictator and -- -- tyranny of a mob when it comes to criticism I would note that many observers commentators foreign policy experts as well as elected officials.
-- both Democrats and Republicans have.
Pointed out that criticism in particular governor Romney and his.
Team and what seems to be an attempt to score political -- has been on both factually wrong.
-- -- -- -- We're told by the media that Mitt Romney spoke too -- the other day we're told that Romney has no foreign policy experience and yet it was Romney who issued the most responsible and presidential statement of everybody just thought our brave dissidents in Syria mobs storming American embassies and consulates.
Iran for years closer to gaining -- nuclear weapons to Israel.
Our best -- in the region treated with indifference bordering on contempt by the Obama administration -- all these threats and dangers but we do not see.
He's steady and consistent American leadership.
I would like to bring you just closer to us I think it's important -- them understand.
That is taken advantage have a close relationship -- The United States be an ally of the United States when you attacked our embassy when you kill our ambassador when you commit these type of international.
Acts of war when your chanting we are all Osama bin Laden make no mistake you are our enemy.
The American flag on fire all over the Middle East and the al-Qaeda flag is being raised our ambassador through -- -- In the New York Times tries to tell boss.
That Obama has these guys on the run one.
Absolute example of -- -- media corruption no other way to describe them.
And right now the US embassy in Cairo still at the center violent clashes this week's protests started in Egypt and tonight.
US marine quick response teams arriving across the Middle East and the latest news the US now sending a platoon of Marines to Sudan to bolster embassy security there.
All this as Republicans shark attacks on the Obama administration saying it is weak on foreign policy.
Former senior advisor to President Reagan Pat Buchanan joins us fantasy of pat and -- America weaker -- stronger form.
Policy what's happening is the Obama administration's.
Middle east policy is collapsing right in front of us he had his famous Cairo speech.
And you got behind the Arab Spring and don't -- person dictators in -- crafts and other people some of whom are friendly to us and others who were not.
Thereby they've unleashed these new forces -- not all of memory for nine.
Some of them are noxious one of them is anti Americanism.
There's Islamic fundamentalism.
-- -- tribalism.
There's no nationalism all of these forces are on the move across the Middle East.
And president Obama's position is exposed -- utterly naive I think what's gonna happen here quite naturally.
As Americans and Taurus and others in American diplomats are gonna have to be drawn out and drawn down from this region of the world which is turning hostile.
What should the president do.
I think the president should get back to Washington and get out of Las Vegas and realize -- his whole policy.
Is collapsing right now but I will tell you one thing you should do with regard to Egypt call our president -- -- And say -- -- people got away with this but if ever again somebody comes over our -- of our embassy and you haven't made every effort to stop them.
We're gonna cut off aid do you we're gonna cut off world back clones and IMF loans and I'm gonna tell American tourists to avoid dejudder this year.
We've got to get curious what I mean I understand he's a member of the Muslim Brotherhood particular treat the United States in America with -- respect.
It deserves as a great power if we're gonna work together.
Even were only eat chicken would seem a little bit more manageable but pat it is erupted in over twenty countries protests is they're violent protest.
Burning down the German -- jump fires and German embassy -- -- this is not just -- -- Here's the situation.
There is gasoline all the way from Nigeria to Mali to Ethiopia.
To -- road to the middle east of the caucuses.
Anti Americanism as part of -- what they did is they took this crazy little video.
They threw a match Janet in these people did this thing in Libya which was pre planned pre prepared -- back.
Some of these other things were spontaneous but I think the whole thing what has happened this there is a contagion.
All through this region where these people agree on one thing they -- -- Christian hate the United States they -- our culture.
They -- our policy they have historic grievances and they yours anti American as they can do.
Was it avoidable.
I mean this is something that we should -- -- like going back let's say two years three years is this something that you know that we actually didn't in any way you know -- avoided.
I think I think quite frankly all this.
What is exploding now has been building up for years and years and years I think there's a real pin compatibility.
Between American culture and between culture of the fundamentalist and the Islamic world.
This place is basically the whole place is there's a revolution underway and great religious awakening taking place.
Among the poor and the working class -- one thing they have is the Islamic faith they're very militant about it.
And they look at do you have a -- as the great Satan and the Americans and the others -- their cultural intrusions.
Yeah eight is informed posse or did you Eudora or isn't that mean I make it in the way you -- describe me tweeted that it hasn't -- it's not foreign policy that has brought us to this.
All of -- one of -- -- good.
Culture what Israel is one real problem at all -- Israel.
In America backs up to Israelis Americans have been killing people they believe and Iraq.
We put sanctions on them I was one of the causes Osama bin Laden said for declaring war.
There's a history here.
There's religious differences -- cultural differences all of these clashes.
I just antiabortion position and that part of the world I'll be honest I think we should lower our profile retreat from that part of the world.
And what are we doing when -- trillion dollars in debt every single year.
What are we doing.
Borrowing money do give out foreign -- -- in any event.
Well I think we were doing things like admit like the place like Pakistan actually contain their nuclear weapons so that we can try to sort of fire friends and they don't do something about Indiana polls tonight.
The pew poll.
Pakistan Turkey.
Jordan Egypt.
Not one of those countries has 15 of its people saying they admire and approve of the United States 75%.
Of egyptians.
Believe that Arabs did not do 9/11.
It's a -- third country.
So.
Now what.
I think what you've got to basically present and state should get back here what he's even Dicey it got equities at fund raiser tonight I mean is that.
May initiate this afternoon it's unfortunate that Eric thank you mentioned that has -- reports -- sure the world is on fire.
In the Middle East and then after North Africa all the way over to Afghanistan.
And the production -- stage is going to fund raisers.
I -- I believe you ought to be here he ought to be sticking to the doctor.
Because you've no doubt about it.
Our middle east policy is collapsing right before us.
What's the policy he enunciated at Cairo in 2009 -- -- the -- I -- -- do you support governor Romney -- governor Romney do anything different right now.
I don't know exactly what governor Romney would do right now but I do think the idea that they're attacking governor Romney because of some statement he made -- 10 o'clock at night.
That's an irrelevancy let me also say this incident -- video.
That's not the reason for this -- -- excuse.
For what's going on there -- a lot of this has been planned a lot of it's contagious over there.
And as I should thank you happen -- all this -- sitting over there one little Smart can it all went went to bed that kill you.
How America basically and the west are regarded now and that part of the world.
-- so I thank you send thank you.
