Will Romney deliver this monologue in order to boost his foreign policy creds?

Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my deferment, they gave me one. Brought it up to me along with room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I could go back to the states… I was going to the worst place in the world and I didn't even know it yet. Weeks away and hundreds of metres up a voie secondaire that snaked through the countryside like a main circuit cable plugged straight into Kolob…"Never get off the bike." Absolutely goddamn right! Unless you were goin' all the way... Pierre didn't get much USO. He was dug in too deep or moving too fast. His idea of great R&R was cold soup and a little skinny bread. He had only two ways to dine: baguette, or vichyssoise…How many people had I already proselytized? There were those six that I knew about for sure. Close enough to slam the door in my face… Oh man...my bullshit piled up so fast in Bordeaux, you needed wings to stay above it… They were gonna make me a Bishop for this, and I wasn't even in their fucking tabernacle anymore…
