Media Look Past Romney's Shift To Center On Foreign Policy
Following Mitt Romney's repeated claims during the presidential debate that he largely agrees with President Obama on foreign policy, mainstream media adopted the narrative that little separates the candidates on this issue. In fact, this narrative allows Romney to disavow extreme positions.
Media Claimed There Is "Little Daylight" Between Obama, Romney
NPR: "Little Daylight Between Obama, Romney." In an article headlined "Debate Takeaway: Little Daylight Between Obama, Romney," NPR reported:
Romney expressed agreement with Obama administration policies nearly as often as he disdained them. At one point he began an answer by saying, "I want to underscore the same point the president made ..."
Romney instead congratulated the president for killing Osama bin Laden and sought to "underscore" his agreement with at least some current policies with regard to Afghanistan, Syria and Iran.
Rather than accepting compliments where he could get them, Obama essentially accused Romney of being a flip-flopper and having shifted his positions. [National Public Radio, 10/23/12 [1]]
CBS: "There Is Little Difference Between The Two Men On Foreign Policy." A CBS News analysis of the debate reported that Romney "declined to draw strong distinctions between his positions and Obama administration policy" partially because "there is little difference between the two men on foreign policy":
[Romney] declined to draw strong distinctions between his positions and Obama administration policy. That's partially because, when all is said and done, there is little difference between the two men on foreign policy. But it was also, Romney aides said following the debate, a strategic decision. The calculation was that Romney did not need to be particularly aggressive: He could look presidential by declining to go on the attack and letting the incumbent assume the attack-dog mode that is traditionally associated with the challenger. [CBS News, 10/22/12 [2]]
Wash. Times: "Debate Served To Highlight Just How Little Daylight There Is Between The Two Men" On Foreign Policy. A Washington Times review of the debate noted that Romney's position on Afghanistan has shifted, but nevertheless concluded there is "little daylight" between Obama and Romney:
The foreign policy-focused debate served to highlight just how little daylight there is between the two men on the big basic foreign policy choices, ranging from handling the civil war in Syria to unequivocally backing Israel to using drones to attack terrorist targets to trying to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions. [The Washington Times, 10/22/12 [3]]
WSJ: "The Difference Was Mainly One Of Tone." While the Wall Street Journal noted that Romney "appeared to temper some of the tough stances he has taken on foreign-policy issues during the campaign," it nevertheless reported that the two candidates "were in broad agreement" on foreign policy, but that on issues they disagreed, "the difference was mainly one of tone":
On a whole range of issues, including ending the war in Afghanistan, the possibility of U.S. military intervention in Syria and the use of drones as a tool of national-security policy, the two candidates were in broad agreement. They differed more sharply over how to tackle China's rise and thwart Iran's nuclear program, but in the main, the difference was mainly one of tone.
Throughout the debate Mr. Romney appeared to temper some of the tough stances he has taken on foreign-policy issues during the campaign.
He passed up an opportunity at the start of the debate to continue his pointed criticism of Mr. Obama's handling of the attack last month on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador. [The Wall Street Journal, 10/23/12 [4]]
In Fact, Romney Not Only Disavowed His Extreme Foreign Policy Positions ...
Salon: Romney Disavowed "Virtually Everything He's Said On Foreign Policy." In an article analyzing the debate, Salon editor Joan Walsh wrote that she was "horrified by Romney's capacity to disavow virtually everything he's said on foreign policy":
Romney should be doing a walk of shame today, after reversing most of his irresponsible, hawkish foreign policy statements from the last year just to have a hot night with undecided female voters in the final debate. How does he live with himself?
Beyond scoring the debate on style points though, why aren't more people horrified by Romney's capacity to disavow virtually everything he's said on foreign policy and cuddle up with Obama, in order to seem less frightening to voters? On Afghanistan, on Iran, on abandoning Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, on killing Osama bin Laden, on Syria, on drones, Romney mostly said "me too" to Obama's policies. [Salon, 10/23/12 [5]]
Reuters: "Romney's Etch a Sketch Foreign Policy." A Reuters column headlined "Romney's Etch a Sketch Foreign Policy" highlighted several of Romney's "new" foreign policy positions from the October 22 debate, and noted that his new stances on Libya, Afghanistan, and Pakistan were "far more moderate than the ones Romney adopted in the Republican primaries":
During last night's foreign policy debate in the U.S. presidential election campaign, the Mitt Romney of the Republican primaries disappeared.
Romney's April criticism of Obama's decision to commit the United States military to helping oust Muammar Qaddafi in Libya disappeared. Missing was a promise on his website to reduce foreign aid by $100 million. Romney's past criticism of what he called Obama's rushed exit from Afghanistan vanished as well.
Given his lurch to the center on domestic policy, that comes as no surprise. But it does not make Romney's record - or his willingness to change positions - a nonissue.
Last night the new Romney praised Obama's toppling of Qaddafi, said he supported the president's policy in Afghanistan and agreed that the administration's economic sanctions on Iran were "crippling."
When asked about whether the U.S. should "divorce" Pakistan, he counseled patience and correctly said it was in the interests of the United States to try to help stabilize a troubled, nuclear-armed country. And he largely endorsed Obama's plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2014. Yet all those positions were far more moderate than the ones Romney adopted in the Republican primaries.
After what should have been a pivotal 90 minutes, I know less about Romney's foreign policy vision than I did beforehand. I only know his electoral calculus. [Reuters, 10/23/12 [6]]
NY Times: "Today's Moderation Was A Far Cry From The Gun-Toting Positions Mr. Romney Used To Win The Primaries." A blog post by New York Times editorial board member David Firestone noted Romney's shifting stance on foreign policy throughout the campaign:
Is Mitt Romney a neoconservative? Or an isolationist? Is he a hard-eyed realist? A democracy-spreading dreamer? Or a strutting warmonger? He has been all those things over the course of his campaign, and he followed a similar pattern at Monday night's debate.
Every time Mr. Romney shrugged and essentially conceded that the administration is already doing the right thing around the world - on Syria, on Iranian sanctions, on drones - Mr. Obama would sarcastically remind viewers that today's moderation was a far cry from the gun-toting positions Mr. Romney used to win the primaries. [New York Times¸10/23/12 [7]]
... He Evinced "A Striking Departure" From Previous Positions
Romney During Debate: U.S. Should "Dissuade Iran From Having A Nuclear Weapon Through Peaceful And Diplomatic Means." During the October 22 presidential debate, Romney claimed he wanted to use "peaceful and diplomatic means" to "dissuade Iran from having a nuclear weapon," despite his previous insistence on military action.
ROMNEY: It's also essential for us to understand what our mission is in Iran, and that is to dissuade Iran from having a nuclear weapon through peaceful and diplomatic means. And crippling sanctions are something I'd called for five years ago when I was in Israel speaking at the Herzliya Conference. I laid out seven steps. [National Public Radio, 10/22/12 [8]]
Romney In June: "The Iranians Will Have No Question But That I Would Be Willing To Take Military Action." During a Face the Nation interview in June, Romney stated that there was "no question" that he would be willing "to take military action" against Iran:
ROMNEY: I can assure you if I'm President, the Iranians will have no question but that I would be willing to take military action, if necessary, to prevent them from becoming a nuclear threat to the world. I-- I don't believe at this stage, therefore, if I'm President, that we need to have war powers approval or a special authorization for military force. The President has that capacity now. [CBS News, Face the Nation, 6/17/12 [9]]
NY Times: Romney's Remarks On Iran "A Striking Departure" From Previous Positions. In a fact check of his remarks, the New York Times noted that Romney's remarks on Iran were "a striking departure from the more hawkish tone he has used throughout the campaign":
Mr. Romney's remark that he wants to use "peaceful and diplomatic means" to persuade Iran not to pursue its nuclear program was a striking departure from the more hawkish tone he has used throughout the campaign.
And it was only a few weeks ago that Mr. Romney called for more muscle-flexing aimed at Iran -- saying that he would "restore the permanent presence of aircraft carrier task forces in both the Eastern Mediterranean and the Gulf region" -- in a speech on Oct. 8 at the Virginia Military Institute.
"For the sake of peace, we must make clear to Iran through actions -- not just words -- that their nuclear pursuit will not be tolerated,'' he said.
And Mr. Romney has long been dismissive of Mr. Obama's attempts to use diplomacy to persuade Iran to abandon its weapons programs.
"In his first TV interview as president, he said we should talk to Iran,'' Mr. Romney said in his speech at the Republican National Convention. "We're still talking, and Iran's centrifuges are still spinning." [The New York Times, 10/23/12 [10]]
Romney During Debate: "I Felt The Same As The President Did" In Ousting Hosni Mubarak. During the October 22 presidential debate, Romney stated that he supported Obama's decision to oust Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak:
SCHIEFFER: Governor Romney, I want to hear your response to that, but I would just ask you, would you have stuck with Mubarak?
ROMNEY: No, I believe, as the president indicated and said at the time, that I supported his -- his action there. I felt that -- I wish we'd have had a better vision of the future. I wish that, looking back at the beginning of the president's term and even further back than that, that we'd have recognized that there was a growing energy and passion for freedom in that part of the world and that we would have worked more aggressively with our -- our friend and with other friends in the region to have them make the transition towards a more representative form of government such that it didn't explode in the way it did.
But once it exploded, I felt the same as the president did, which is these -- these freedom voices in the -- the streets of Egypt where the people who were speaking of our principles and the -- the -- President Mubarak had done things which were unimaginable, and the idea of him crushing his people was not something that we could possibly support. [National Public Radio, 10/22/12 [8]]
Romney In July: "President Obama Abandoned The Freedom Agenda" That Could Have Pushed Mubarak Toward A More Democratic Posture. In an interview with an Israeli newspaper in July, Romney suggested that President Bush's "freedom agenda" could have urged Mubarak toward a more democratic agenda if only it hadn't been halted by Obama. From the interview:
You say that Obama failed in many areas especially in foreign policy. How do you view the Arab Spring and the way in which the U.S. responded to the uprisings in those Arab states?
"Clearly we're disappointed in seeing Tunisia and Morocco elect Islamist governments. We're very concerned in seeing the new leader in Egypt as an Islamist leader. It is our hope to move these nations toward a more modern view of the world and to not present a threat to their neighbors and to the other nations of the world."
"The Arab Spring is not appropriately named. It has become a development of more concern and it occurred in part because of the reluctance on the part of various dictators to provide more freedom to their citizens. President [George W.] Bush urged [deposed Egyptian President] Hosni Mubarak to move toward a more democratic posture, but President Obama abandoned the freedom agenda and we are seeing today a whirlwind of tumult in the Middle East in part because these nations did not embrace the reforms that could have changed the course of their history, in a more peaceful manner." [Israel Hayom, 7/27/12 [11]]
Foreign Policy: Romney Previously "Suggested That Mubarak Could Have Been Persuaded To Reform." In fact, the Romney campaign has made contradictory statements regarding Mubarak, as Foreign Policy detailed, including his suggestion that "Mubarak could have been persuaded to reform":
In an interview with Israel Hayom, the GOP presidential candidate declared that the Arab Spring "is not appropriately named" because of Islamist victories in the region and suggested that Mubarak could have been persuaded to reform, had President Obama not bungled the effort:
President [George W.] Bush urged [deposed Egyptian President] Hosni Mubarak to move toward a more democratic posture, but President Obama abandoned the freedom agenda and we are seeing today a whirlwind of tumult in the Middle East in part because these nations did not embrace the reforms that could have changed the course of their history, in a more peaceful manner. [Foreign Policy, 10/12/12 [12]]
Romney: "When I'm President, We'll Make Sure We Bring Our Troops Out By The End Of 2014." During the October 22 debate, Romney adopted Obama's position on the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, saying "we [should] bring our troops out by the end of 2014":
ROMNEY: Well, we're going to be finished by 2014. And when I'm president, we'll make sure we bring our troops out by the end of 2014. The commanders and the generals there are on track to do so. We've seen progress over the past several years. The surge has been successful, and the training program is proceeding apace. There are now a large number of Afghan security forces, 350,000, that are -- are ready to step in to provide security. And -- and we're going to be able to make that transition by the end of -- of 2014. So our troops'll come home at that point. [National Public Radio, 10/22/12 [8]]
FactCheck.org: Romney's Position On Afghanistan "A Change." A FactCheck.org review of the October 22 debate noted that Romney's comments on Afghanistan were "a change," writing:
In the past, Romney had said that announcing a specific date for the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops was among Obama's "biggest mistakes." He later told ABC News that he also would adhere to "the same time frame the president is speaking of" for turning over responsibility to Afghan forces by the end of 2014, but qualified that by saying withdrawal depended on what military commanders tell him and on circumstances "on the ground."
This time there were no such qualifiers. Romney said flatly: "[W]e're going to be able to make that transition by the end of -- of 2014. So our troops'll come home at that point." And for the record, both Obama and Romney have left the door open for leaving a residual force of support troops behind, if the Afghans agree. [FactCheck.org, 10/23/12 [13]]
CNN: "Romney's Change Of Heart May Have Something To Do With The Fact That According To A Poll In March, Less Than A Quarter Of Americans Continued To Back The Afghan War." In noting Romney's new position on Afghanistan, CNN wondered whether it was related to polling data that found that "half of Americans actually favored speeding up the planned 2014 withdrawal":
Just two weeks ago in a keynote foreign policy speech at the Virginia Military Institute, Romney said of the Afghanistan drawdown, "I'll evaluate conditions on the ground and weigh the best advice of our military commanders. And I will affirm that my duty is not to my political prospects, but to the security of the nation."
This seemed to leave on the table the prospect of U.S. combat troops remaining in Afghanistan after the scheduled drawdown date at the end of 2014 were Romney to be elected and was one of the few tangible significant differences on national security between the two candidates.
But during Monday's debate, Romney echoed the Obama position: "When I'm president, we'll make sure we bring our troops out by the end of 2014. The commanders and the generals there are on track to do so."
Romney's change of heart may have something to do with the fact that according to a poll in March, less than a quarter of Americans continued to back the Afghan War. Another poll in the same month found that half of Americans actually favored speeding up the planned 2014 withdrawal. [CNN News, 10/23/12 [14]]

Laconia Sled Dog Derby set for competition Feb. 22-24
February 11. 2013 9:53PM
Diane Lyman, spokesman for the race, said organizers decided late last month to postpone the race because there was no snow.
She said races can be held on ice, but enough snow is needed to allow for a snow hook, which allows a sled driver to brake. The three days of races draw anywhere from 30 to 45 teams, which come from New England, the Midwest and Canada.

Arsène Wenger says that footballers can learn the art of dedication from top professionals like Thierry Henry.
The Arsenal legend has been linked with another loan move to his former club in January and Wenger fielded a number of questions about arguably his finest signing when he faced the media ahead of the Montpellier game.
The Frenchman's admiration for his compatriot is well-documented and he thinks the likes of Henry can be role models for other sportsman - including Arsenal's players.
"I saw last night Jonny Wilkinson, for example, on Canal+ in France," said Wenger. "When you see the dedication... he's not an extrovert, but when you see the dedication the top, top players show in their sport, that's what you want - multiplied by 25.
"I think I don't need to say that to my players because they are [dedicated]. On that front, this season, the players are fantastic."
Wenger is happy with his players' spirit but he is aware of how quickly confidence levels can rise and fall in the modern game. Saturday's north London derby has put a spring in the step of Arsenal players and fans alike but belief had dropped after defeats to Norwich, Schalke and Manchester United.
"Yes [it worries me]," said Wenger. "Look, today we live in a world that is completely emotional. You have one defeat and you listen to people: they say 'get him out, get the player out, get the manager out'.
"Now they speak of Roberto Di Matteo. He's just won the Champions League and the FA Cup three months ago!
"It is, of course, affecting you and when you're young it's more difficult to take a distance with that. We forget that we were 20 as well. I forget it more than you but you're more fragile when you're younger. [Last weekend shows that] it turns round quicker and quicker."

Straight From the Horse's Mouth
posted at 3:09 am on December 15, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
(Or perhaps the other end.)
Barack H. Obama held a meeting today with top bankers and financial mavins, the CEOs at such corporations as American Express, US Bancorp, JP Morgan Chase, Capital One, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and others; at this gathering of the world's financiers, Obama issued a proclamation of what noble sacrifice the very universe demands of them:
The president said it is not his intent to vilify one person or industry — to not dictate to them or micromanage their compensation practices.
"My job is to ensure that consumers and the larger economy are protected from risky speculation and predatory practices, that credit is flowing, that businesses can grow, and jobs are once again being created at the pace we need."
In working together towards a lasting recovery, Mr. Obama said, "we rise and fall together: banks and small businesses, consumers and large corporations. And we have a shared interest in working together to ensure a lasting recovery that will benefit all of us and not just some of us."
Very well then; we take the president at his word: We must never again make risky, speculative loans to poor people who cannot pay them back.
- Such loans, generally at usurous rates, clearly qualify as "predatory practices."
- They bring the free-flow of actual credit to a screeching halt by diluting it with ersatz "credit" that is in fact welfare.
- They stifle the growth of businesses by sucking all the credit oxygen out of the room and blowing it at unqualified borrowers instead of credit-worthy companies, small and large.
- And they damage the economy so that jobs are lost, not created — and not "saved" — at a stunning rate… as we have seen since the inauguration of one Barack Obama.
Taking the man at his word, I can only conclude that President Obama now calls upon Congress to repeal the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, along with every act, amendment, or regulatory "reform" since then that has driven banks and other financial institutions to pound sand down a rathole, lending too much money to people with too little credit, too much debt, and too little ability to meet a mortgage payment.
Thank goodness Obama has finally come to his senses!
Either that, or… well, there's always the faint possibility that he doesn't really mean what he says. But surely no President of the United States could be so despicable as to gallop into the history books, at least those written by liberals, across the shattered dreams of the undeserving poor, lured into believing they can purchase spectacular homes despite having insufficient income.
After all, they are all honorable men, these well-meaning do-gooders; all, all honorable men.

Sebastien Squillaci believes his relative anonymity has made it easier for him to settle in English football.
The French defender was an established international and a consistent performer with Sevilla in La Liga before he arrived at Arsenal in late August but he remained an unknown quantity to many Arsenal fans.
Nearly three months on, Squillaci has already captained the Gunners and only three players - Alex Song, Gael Clichy and Marouane Chamakh - have started more games for the Club this season.
The 30-year-old put in another solid shift in Arsenal's 2-1 win at Everton on Sunday and he believes that his low-key introduction to the Premier League - and the large French contingent at Emirates Stadium - have helped him acclimatise.
"Yes, I think it helped [that I was a relative unknown]," Squillaci told Arsenal TV Online in an exclusive 'Spotlight' interview.
"I knew a lot of the players and there are a lot of Frenchmen here, which always makes it easier to adapt. There are players here who I have played with for France and also against in the French league and that makes coming here not so hard.
"It's always better coming to a club where you know the players, it helps you if there are any problems and also helps on and off the pitch too.
"Adapting-wise, I knew that it [English football] would be physical with some good sides, playing good football. The strikers are big and strong and it is a great contrast with Spain where the strikers are faster and not so strong. But it's not going too badly. I'm stepping up to the challenge and it's getting easier."
The common consensus last summer was that Thomas Vermaelen would emerge as Arsenal's senior defender but the Belgian's ongoing Achilles trouble has allowed Squillaci, fellow new boy Laurent Koscielny and Johan Djourou to stake their claims.
Squillaci has helped steady the ship in defence but he wants to see Vermaelen return as soon as possible.
"Thomas Vermaelen got injured and still is injured and that's a shame for us because we need players like him and that brings confidence to the team," he said. "But there is competition at any big club and you also need all your players as there are injuries, lots of games every three days and so you need a good group of players to make up for this and to be able to cope.
"I hope that everyone gets fit, Thomas and everyone else so that we all get our chance and we'll be able to catch up in the league."

DUII suspect wrecks two parked cars
Residents in Aloha living near 166th and Southwest Oak Stree heard a crash around 12:45 a.m. Saturday. When they looked outside they saw two cars were hit and sitting in the middle of the street.
When deputies arrived they located two previously parked vehicles in the middle of the street. A suspect vehicle had left the scene. One of the vehicles was a pickup truck that was pushed about 30 feet from the point of impact. A second car, a Lexus, had also been struck and was pushed about 25 feet from the point of impact. Both vehicles had major damage.
Deputies did an area check for the suspect's car. They found an Audi that was smoking and had major front-end damage, about two blocks away from the wrecked vehicles. They identified the house where the suspect's car was registered and contacted the owner, 39-year-old Bruce Jones.
Jones was arrested for Hit and Run and DUII.

Dear Sir
I am Pipit, an English teacher of a course in Jakarta, Indonesia. My boss is going to establish a university, to teach there I need to have my master degree in teaching English, sadly the state university doesn't have flexible time for me, as I am only able to study in the morning. I am really excited to continue my study. Please I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Pipit Novita
