Foreign Policy

Does Rudy have foreign policy experience? McCain does not directly take him on but talks about his own role in opposing Rumsfeld and supporting the surge. When chips are down McCain has class, you ahev to give him that. Says he knows war and how the government works and lead largest squadron. Very effective. Rudy says he'd support McCain if he wasn't running but he's better. I'm not running on 9-11 but as Mayor of third largest city. List all he did : facing fiscal crisis, crime crisis, reduced taxes, most conservative government, etc. Romney have a time table? If surge works and says no timetable. Will eventually be in a standby role. See support role in 2008? Romney hesitates, says we should begin to see if surge working and hope for best. McCain says "Governor, the surge is working." Romney tries to interrupt with 'apparently." McCain cuts him off. McCain 1-Romney 0 on that. McCain repeats "Not apparently." This is where McCain shines. Now Chris Wallace is arguing with Ron Paul. Boos.
