Lehrer doing horrible job as moderator on foreign policy debate

Thirty minutes into the the debate on foreign policy there has yet to be one foreign policy question. Both are being asked about the bailout bill that neither knows how it will shake out. They are arguing about taxes and spending and not about Obama's weird foreign policy and his disastrous plan for Iraq. Is Lehrer shielding Obama from being challenged about his bad judgment?

Finally at 8:39 p.m. we get the first question on foreign policy and the lessons of Iraq.

Obama is blowing the question because he is still wanting to argue whether we should go in rather than in what we needed to do to win. He ignores the significant strategic defeat of al Qaeda in Iraq. He just does not comprehend strategy or tactics.

McCain cleans his clock on Iraq and Afghanistan. He also showed greater knowledge of Russia and Eastern Europe. Obama tries to slip out of the question by talking about energy.

  1. Forty-one minutes passed before the first foreign policy question was asked.

  2. I found your blog because I was dumbfounded that this "foreign policy" debate was not about foreign policy. I did a google search to see if anyone else was irritated about this fact.
