Foreign policy a deciding factor (11/15/12)   Here's my take on
the presidential election: Mitt Romney lost because of his
foreign policy. President Barack Obama won because he promised
to have all troops out of Afghanistan by December 2014.  Romney
supported the 2014 deadline but with an exception large enough
to drive a truck through it. If in Romney's evaluation the
Afghan army was unable to keep the Taliban in check, he would
keep U.S. combat troops in Afghanistan for as long as it takes.
Would that be 100 years?  Romney's plan was a recipe for
disaster. For his plan to succeed, it would require depopulation
of the entire country of Afghanistan.  Charles Hazard Muhlenberg
