Today Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice rejected Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee’s recent bizarre comments to Iowa voters that the Bush Administration’s foreign policy is characterized by a “bunker mentality.”
“The idea that somehow this is a go-it-alone policy is just simply ludicrous,” she said at a State Department news conference. “One would only have to be not observing the facts, let me say that, to say that this is now a go-it-alone foreign policy.”
Huckabee’s comments have angered many Republicans including rival candidate Mitt Romney who called for the former Arkansas Governor to apologize to President Bush.
You expect to hear that kind of rhetoric out of Ron Paul or any Democrat, but not a leading Republican candidate. Besides the fact that it isn’t true, it’s also a little odd that the candidate with the least amount of foreign policy experience would make such an uninformed, and ignorant statement.
If Mike Huckabee thinks he’s going to sway conservative Iowa Republicans, or any other Republicans by attacking the President’s foreign policy, then he’s not smart enough to be President.
