Biden says Romney ready to launch ‘war in Syria and Iran’

Source: the hill

Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday said Mitt Romney was ready to “go to war in Syria and Iran.”

Biden hit Romney’s acceptance speech at last week’s Republican National Convention, offering a broad critique of the GOP candidate’s foreign policy, during a campaign rally in York, Pa.

"He said it was a mistake to end the war in Iraq and bring all of our warriors home. He said it was a mistake to set an end date for our warriors in Afghanistan and bring them home,” said Biden, according to pool reports. “He implies by the speech that he's ready to go to war in Syria and Iran."

Start shit in the Middle East and we're up against Russia and China at the same time. President Obama has finesse and understands nuance. I certainly hope he can approach Putin with more "flexibility" and with a Democratic controlled Congress, in his second term.
