Early in Thursday's Republican presidential debate, CNN
moderator Wolf Blitzer caught Mitt Romney flatfooted on one of his
anti-Gingrich ads. The ad accuses Newt of calling Spanish a

postponed plans to return to Pakistan to re-launch his

The Elliot Abrams business Jeff
uncovers does raise some interesting historical points:
1. Some who bill their foreign policy preferences as
"neo-Reaganite" today were fairly critical of Reagan's actual
foreign policy in the 1980s, even as they remained...
This morning, Jennifer Rubin
lambasted the Obama administration's "feckless
Iran policy." Fair enough. I agree the president's approach has
proven disjointed, at best, and "rudderless," at worst. Waging a
