Foreign Policy Fast Forward: Third US Presidential Debate in 60 Seconds
October 23, 2012 from Telegraph.co.uk
President Barack Obama accused Republican candidate Mitt Romney of being consistently wrong on foreign affairs as the two presidential rivals squared off in their third and final debate on Monday with the race in a dead heat two weeks before Election Day. Obama criticized Romney's support for beginning the war in Iraq, for opposing his plans to withdraw troops from Iraq, for inconsistent stances on Afghanistan and for opposing nuclear treaties with Russia. "Every time you've offered an opinion you've been wrong," Obama said. In their third and final debate just two weeks before the November election, Obama and Romney wrangled over foreign policy and national security issues, occasionally finding areas of agreement. Following a lackluster performance in the first debate earlier this month, Obama came ready for a fighting finish, sharply challenging Romney as reckless in world affairs. Instead, he found a more subdued Romney who was eager to agree with Obama's more popular positions. The two men found accord on more than one occasion. Each stressed unequivocal support for Israel when asked about a US response if the state were attacked by Iran.
