at least I don't think it has
is when Romney is quoted (I'm paraphrasing) that he is looking to exploit some foreign policy disaster like Iran with carter/Reagan.
He did say this right? I am not imagining this? I think it might been from the same 47% tape
This is despicable and gets to the true character of the man.

Ronald Reagan was able to make a statement, even before he became, was actually sworn in
Romney: Yeah
Audience member: the hostages were released
Romney: on the day of his inauguration, yeah.
Audience member: So my question is, really, how can you sort of duplicate that scenario
Romney: Ohhhh. [A few chuckles in audience.] Im going to ask you, how do I duplicate that scenario?

"And the American people are not concentrated at all on China, on Russia, Iran, Iraq. This presidents failure to put in place a status forces agreement allowing 10-20,000 troops to stay in Iraq? Unthinkable! And yet, in that election, in the Jimmy Carter election, the fact that we have hostages in Iran, I mean, that was all we talked about. And we had the two helicopters crash in the desert, I mean thatsthat wasthat was the focus, and so him solving that made all the difference in the world. Im afraid today if you said, We got Iran to agree to stand down a nuclear weapon, theyd go hold on. Its really a, but
by the way,
So this part is the kicker.... "if something of that nature presents itself, I will work to find a way to take advantage of the opportunity."
I believe Rmoney believes he has his "opportunity" with the deaths at the Libyan consulate in Benghazi.
