HERMAN CAIN AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF: DOES HE KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT? (874 hits)
THINK PROGRESS, November 14, 2011 -- Former pizza executive Herman Cain has struggled with foreign policy throughout his campaign to be commander in chief, but never more so than an in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today in which he muddled through a flailing, nonsensical answer on Libya for five excruciating minutes.
Ultimately, Cain lands on being generally supportive of the intervention, but says he perhaps would have a bit more cautious at the outset.
But this seems to contradict with his longstanding strident opposition to the Libyan expedition. “I’ve said many times before that US intervention in Lybia [sic] is inappropriate and wrong. The US does not belong in this war,” he wrote in a Twitter debate in July. That same month, he appeared on John Stossel’s show on Fox Business, where he clearly stated his opposition:
CAIN: Should we be in Libya? The answer is no.
STOSSEL: That’s clear.
CAIN: That’s because U.S. interest was not clearly defined.
It’s worth noting that Cain’s foreign policy slogan is “peace through strength and clarity.”
Watch the flip flop, along with a compilation of Cain’s less-than-clear foreign policy vision, produced by ThinkProgress’ Jeff Spross:
Unlike Rick Perry’s infamous “opps” moment, Cain doesn’t appear to have a momentary brain lapse, but seems to be genuinely befuddled by the substance of the question.
Last month, Cain said he had studied up on foreign policy and “challenge[d] anybody who says I wouldn’t know how to address foreign policy.”
While becoming the next commander in chief is looking increasingly unlikely for Cain, he has a backup plan. This weekend, he said he would like to be secretary of defense so he could “kick the you-know-what out of everyone in the world.”
why do you, come to BIA and post a------- "HERMAN CAIN AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF: DOES HE KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT?" subject?
i totally agree with it, but how about FIRST, a blagSubject ---
"Mitt Romney, AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF: DOES HE KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT?"
or
"Newt Gingrich, AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF: DOES HE KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT?"
by the way what is a mitt and a newt?
we at BIA know why there are hermanCain, affirmativeAction negro superStars in the liberalWorld----never was substance, never to think, but to LOOK(for Liberals) like your generation was FAIR...........
but newt and mitt; both talk about starting another war with 3 million israeliSuiciders, against a nation of 90 Million Muslims------THATS IGNORANT, thats lunacy, thats an American Tragedy, not herman.
herman is our fathers with good incomes, herman is the wish of many a BIA female in her church on Sunday morning, herman is the dream of a BIA highSchool student hearing his speech about success..................
I think the negro is EVIL, but youLiberals made him----so am i supposed to fear the Monster or Frankenstein(the dr. has made many)
so I suggest a little sensitivity on your part, to our Large negroChristian BIA private member groups.............and our blackSiebra private groups.............
Excuse me Robert, I thought this was originally a discussion about HERMAN CAIN and not myself???
And how can anyone love Herman Cain when he refuses to talk about Obama's eligibility??
Don't be an sucker for Cain people...use common sense!!!

nonThinking little girl, this is a blog by a writer who wants to give a point of view.
i as a commentator on his blog, ask him why does a liberal man choose to baffoon a man named Cain, and not a newt or a mitt?
he is blogging on a Network that gave us Herman Cain................
i do not have ANY interest in Cain, as Cain is a paganChristian, HATER of Muslims.
you came up because you also commented on Cain, yet you also are a HATER of Muslims and based on YOUR writings, you hate the color of richard and MY skin............color
I comment that you and cain and richard are the same to me: disrespecters of the Truth of America.................deviators and dividers of the Family of Adaam(as) using colorWorship and slaverAmericana thinking...........
newt called President Baraka Hussein Obama, antiChristian----newt called Our Leader of the mentality of a mauMau Kenyan colonial terrorist........
cain has MORE eligibilty to be USA president than mitt, newt, perry, michelle, paul and the rest of that sorry group..............
richard does not need to disRespect BIA with his subject, in my opinion.
and you, are a DELETER --- so as long as richard disrespects BIA, YOU disrespect TRUTH, I Feel OK to write about you on this mess of a blag................
Robert you are wrong...I LOVE Islam and have never shied away from my religious beliefs...I am not a hater of Muslims...what I AM a hater of is egotistical people like you who are constipated with the idea that everything has to be YOUR way or the HIGHWAY all of the damn time...

you littleGirl seem to have a constipatedMind,
i, robertPowell, have NEVER shown on BIA; a(yourWords,) "egotistical, your way or the highway"
all I present to any reader of the writings under my name, is Generally --- AlQur'aan and Sunnah of Mohamed(as) with 1400+ years of Scholarship and History......
you, like richard, do not read or use; in your writings------AlQur'aan or the Sunnah of Mohamed(as); and your blags are disrespectful to afroCentric IslaamicThought.....
so you are both haters of AlIslaam................in my opinion
over and over you delete the AlQur'aan and Sunnah and reprint
-----but you love the BS gay woman wants to have a baby, beethoven was "black" FOOLISHNESS that our Father Elijah Muhammad called the Talk of the DEAD.....................
so, i am not wrong on these points, little frightened deleter-- Qur'aan blocker
Rich, I do believe Lawrence O has beat all of the comedians in his Last Word segment tonight...L.O. says it is that red tie...and he showed both Perry and Cain having their qalifications to be president moments ( with a time clock timing it all for breaking Perry's time record) had on red ties.It was so funny...I can't wait for Cain to explain his way out of this one...(otfl) (smile)

(Rich, if I may...robert you are begining to sound exactly like Harry)
Rich did you watch my girl tonight? Cain may even get a little break as Newt takes front runner status into his past 'caught on camera moments'...but it is begining to look like Cain will follow in Palin's foot steps in not being able to not have the last word therefore keeping his screw up as a running joke going on as long as possiable. LOL (smile)
