Romney Criticised For His Model Comment

[CHUQ]

IMO, this was a bone head comment.

"That kind of diplomacy is something that would help America become stronger around the world and help people understand that our interest is an interest towards modernity and goodness and freedom for all people in the world," Romney said. "And so, I want to see America carry out that kind of health diplomacy."

While the comment is not a bright one and Romney appears as if he has sold his soul to the devil to become president what i found most irritating from the article was the National Jewish Democratic Council rush to condemn.

"The NJDC's Forman said Romney ignored Hezbollah's aggression toward Israel and its anti-American views."

"Any candidate for President should know that Hezbollah's social programs are inseparably tied to terrorism," Forman said. "The health clinics and schools praised by Romney have also been used as a cover for rockets launched at Israeli cities."

Just who does National Jewish Democratic Council think they are that they can delegate instruction to US presidential candidates and or their views.
I didnt see this Jewish institution rush to condemn Tom Tancredo dumb threats to bomb Muslim holy sites.

I think the NJDC's lack of comment on Toncredo was two fold, 1--he is not someone they consider important and 2--it was only Muslims he was speaking of and none of their concern.

What stuck out for me was that equated the beginning of Lebanesse democracy and the beginning of Hezbollah as about the same time. It shows me that Romney as with most politicians have no idea what is what or when it all started when they speak of the ME.

Do you recall the Congressman that was a pro war advocate that did not know the difference from shi'a and sunni and he was one of the main men on the intelligence committee. That is just plain pathetic.
