Remember Obama Mocking Romney With This Comment About Russia During A 2012 Debate? Have a look back. It's long but amazing and worth the listen.
- Every time you've offered an opinion you've been wrong!
- Attacking me is not an agenda.
- After the election I'll give more backbone
- You got to be clear
- Make sure countries are supporting our counter terrorism measures
- Make sure we are doing nation building here at home
ROMNEY:
Mali has been taken over, the northern part of Mali by al-Qaeda type individuals. We have in -- in Egypt, a Muslim Brotherhood president. And so what we're seeing is a pretty dramatic reversal in the kind of hopes we had for that region. Of course the greatest threat of all is Iran, four years closer to a nuclear weapon. And -- and we're going to have to recognize that we have to do as the president has done. I congratulate him on -- on taking out Osama bin Laden and going after the leadership in al-Qaeda.
But we can't kill our way out of this mess. We're going to have to put in place a very comprehensive and robust strategy to help the -- the world of Islam and other parts of the world, reject this radical violent extremism, which is -- it's certainly not on the run.
Obama
Well, my first job as commander in chief, Bob, is to keep the American people safe. And that's what we've done over the last four years.
I have to tell you that, you know, your strategy previously has been one that has been all over the map and is not designed to keep Americans safe or to build on the opportunities that exist in the Middle East.

" We can't kill our way out of this mess" - Romney
It was not clear what Romney intended. Millions of boots on the ground all over the world? Millions of US Christian missionaries seeking converts? Colonization? Air lifting people from all over the world who claims to be Christian?
Romney also encouraged Americans to be fruitful and multiply.
Note the current Republican Governor of Utah has made it clear, Utah welcomes Syrian refugees.
As for Russia, there seems to be potential for Russia, France and the US to join forces to fight ISIS. Putin probably sees an opportunity for some relief of sanctions as a condition.
Did you hear Obama's response? I didn't hear anything that said he intended to do. All he did was attack Romney. That's typically what he does, attack republicans, even today.
O: ISIS is contained!
(Hours later, Paris has its worst attack since WWII. ISIS claims responsibilty).
O: Paris is a "setback." (then goes on world stage to whine about republicans).
Bots: But, but, BUUUSH!
