Colin Powell questions Mitt Romney’s foreign policy: “C’mon, Mitt, think.”

“C’mon, Mitt, think.”

So said Colin Powell on Wednesday as he assessed Mitt Romney’s foreign policy views. Powell, appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” said he wondered what Romney was thinking when he heard that Romney had declared that Russia was the top geopolitical foe of the United States. Powell said Romney’s comment about Russia was “catching a lot of heck from the more regular GOP foreign affairs community who were kind of taken aback by it.”

I am very much afraid that General Powell hasn't remembered his History. Putin is not only the chief sponsor of Iran( without which Iran would suffer greatly) but is the block to our placing missle defenses to block Iranian missles which soon may be ICBM's. If miracles occured and Russia were to become a country that would be four square against the Mullahs, the entire balance of power in the Middle East would change.
