Re: "...Today he did say we are in a global conflict against extreme Islam. Romney agreed..."
During the first Bush vs Gore Presidential Campaign debate, Bush promised that one of his first acts as President of the United States of America, would be the immediate moving of the U.S. Embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem.
The "Christian Conservatives" applauded! They had found their man!
The Jews applauded! They all slapped each other on the back and said "At last!"..."A Bible believing President will recognize our claim over Jerusalem!"..."Vote for Bush!"..."He loves Israel and the Jews!"
Becoming President, one of Bush's first acts was to immediately sign an Executive Order claiming that "it is not in U.S. interests to move the American Embassy from Tel-Aviv to 'disputed territory'"
Shortly thereafter, Bush appeared with Secretary of State General Colin Powell, who during a TV appearance stated "Attacks against Israeli civilians by Philistines are not terror!"..."but are legitimate acts of resistance to Zionist Occupation!"
Do all of you reading this know the definition of "fool's gold"?
It's a mineral which glitters like gold, but when prospectors take it in to have it weighed and valued, they find to their dismay that is less than worthless.
Kind of like the recent Israeli campaign motto "Sharon will bring Peace AND Security!"
