Romney Slams President Obama on Middle East

The World
Governor Mitt Romney slammed President Obama's leadership in Middle East Monday in a speech at Virginia Military Institute, and offered his most comprehensive foreign policy critique to date. He called for a "change of course in the Middle East," and urged the US to help other countries arm the Syrian rebels. Russell East, a cadet at Virginia Military Institute watched Romney's speech from the audience. He tells host Marco Werman the Republican nominee received an enthusiastic response at VMI. Marc Lynch who directs the Institute for Middle East Studies at George Washington University tells Werman that Romney failed to offer a sharp contrast with the foreign policies of President Obama, and didn't grapple with the deep foreign policies differences within the GOP.
