Maybe Muffin didn't want to highlight the fact NONE of his FIVE healthy sons have served....
Yet he continues to threaten Iran, Russia & China.
How many countries will Muffin intervene in?

Bill Kristol Slams Romney For Ignoring Troops, Afghanistan In RNC Speech

by Andrew Kirell

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, neoconservative commentator and founder of The Weekly Standard Bill Kristol told host Chris Wallace that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's RNC speech had a "narrow" message because it ignored the War in Afghanistan and any mention of American troops abroad.
Kristol made the case that the Romney campaign sacrificed other issues to focus solely on the economy and jobs. “Mitt Romney used the term ‘jobs’ 25 times I think,” he pointed out, “but he didn’t mention Afghanistan, he didn’t mention the troops, didn’t even thank the troops for their their service.”

“He mentioned debt once, deficits twice, didn’t mention the Supreme Court,” Kristol continued. “A lot of important issues out there in American politics. They decided it was a very conscious tactical and strategic decision: we just got to make it about jobs. Obama hasn’t produced, we can produce.”

“In my view it’s maybe a little narrow for a presidential message,” he added before conceding that the war is unpopular and would have begged a multitude of questions had Romney mentioned it in his speech.
