and in a country that believes in intelligence and integrity, as the us does, this should put him beyond the pale.
examples:
vacuous - iran has access to both a sea (the Caspian) and an ocean (the Indian), nor does it share a border with syria. so what was the reason for iran's alliance with syria? shows he hasn't thought much about the region or its politics and yet he wishes to be cic. scary.
vacuous - prosecuting the iranian president for genocidal speech. on what basis? twittery? if a republican invokes un law, perhaps he will also submit some of america's own high officials for trial on grounds of wilfully introducing a policy of torture. mirror, mirror.
dishonest - changing his domestic and foreign policy stances purely for the debates.
dishonest - not disclosing the tax exemptions he will remove as part of his tax plan.
