The Global Citizen: U.S. Foreign Policy
Republican presidential candidates debated again on Saturday in the CBS News/National Journal debate in South Carolina, the first debate entirely focused on foreign affairs. The candidates used the time to highlight their complete lack of awareness and qualifications on international issues. They blundered on every issue, from Iran to foreign aid, to the use of torture in the war on terror, making it clear that the vast majority of the current Republican field does not have the credentials to be our next president.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee continues to push forward with hearings on the New START Treaty, despite vocal opposition from stubborn opponents relentlessly repeating the same misguided objections. Listening to these obstinate Representatives continue to regurgitate these same obstructive statements, a listener is left wondering if any amount of information, military experts or hearings would really convince them to put security over partisan politics.
