Why? Presidential Foreign Policy Debate Topics Announced

[mfcorey1]

I am not comfortable with this.


The topics for the third and final presidential debate, which will focus exclusively on foreign policy, were announced in Friday.

Politico's Mike Allen was the first to post the topics, which were selected by the moderator, CBS anchor Bob Schieffer. The debate will take place on Oct. 22nd at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida.

The topics are:

America's role in the world Our longest war -- Afghanistan and Pakistan Red Lines -- Israel and Iran The Changing Middle East and the New Face of Terrorism (two segments) The Rise of China and Tomorrow's World.

1. that means exclusively on libya

2. because...

All of the debate details, down to the minutiae, are decided upon in advance by the campaigns. It's all BS, especially since they were taken over by the Commission on Presidential Debates, which is a construct of the GOP and DNC. The debates should be run by a neutral third party.

5. This will be a debate about Obama's foreign policy and put on the

defense all night.

3. What? No Russia?

Poor Mittens. He will have to bring that up himself.

4. Well, this should be interesting.

Now the Romney team can have their main researcher, Mr. Aesop, come up with something extra special...
