By picking Ryan, Romney demonstrates a "Pre-9/11 mindset".

Anyone else recall that phrase? Pre-9/11 mindset.

What Foreign Policy credentials does Ryan bring to the R/R ticket? NONE.

Which of these guys would we want answering the call at 3Am? NEITHER

Which could be as calm as Obama, making the call to send seal team 6 to kill OBL, and then showing no fear at a light-hearted dinner the night before it goes down?

Should the US people trust the R and R ticket to be able to handle such issues.

No.

I see your point, but the pre-9/11 mindset was much preferable to they way we have done things for the last 11 years.

9/11 was not only destructive to human lives, but to future direction of this nation's political climate.

and now we should show it up their a** and force them to come clean on the "we want to invade Iran" part of their strategy.
