Here’s What Glenn Beck Would Have Told President Obama in Foreign Policy Debate

Oct. 23, 2012 7:43pm Tiffany Gabbay

In the wake of Monday evening’s final presidential debate focused on foreign policy, Glenn Beck expressed his dismay that GOP contender Mitt Romney did not assail the president the way he would have over the administration’s botched handling of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi. On Monday, Beck invited former CIA analyst Claire Lopez on the program to discuss what really happened on the ground in Libya and what the real motivations were for Ambassador Christopher Steven’s slaying. What was revealed was shocking, to put it lightly.

Beck said he was waiting on bated breath while watching the debate for Romney to hand Obama “his head” to him over Libya but instead, Romney chose to take a different approach. It is likely Obama’s rival sought to err on the side of caution, particularly because the mainstream media is already stacked against him.

“It is dangerous how arrogant this guy is with his lies,” Beck said of Obama.

And indeed, the media has wholeheartedly named Obama “winner” of the last presidential debate. Beck noted that Romney could have “hit harder” about how the administration is “funneling weapons into Syria via the Muslim Brotherhood” and how the president is “too buddy buddy with Turkey right now chatting up with Iran.” But Romney didn’t. Rather, “he deflected the attack line Obama surely wanted to go off on: ‘Mitt Romney is a war monger.’”

Romney may have successfully told people last evening that he is not simply a rich, out of touch aggressor. Romney also knew that it is difficult to trump a sitting president on foreign policy issues and perhaps that is why he tied many of the issues back to American economic policy.

Beck went on to list the myriad “lies” perpetrated by Obama during the debate including his worldwide “apology tour,” requesting “permission from Pakistan” to perform special operations there, particularly with regard to bin Laden, and a host of other foreign policy-related blunders.

Watch Beck “expose the truth” below. What follows is an additional segment further dissecting the attacks on our embassy in Libya.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

If rolls were reversed the ayatollah in chief would have buried his opponent with this treasonous chain of events. Romney is not briefed by the state dept. He isn’t privy to that. He’s a private citizen.
He should have gone for the jugular!!!!!!!!!!

Hey,Glenn. It is easy to second guess on something that someone said. Rather than trying to to make yourself look good by bashing Romney on his debate . Somes times you should keep the pie hole shut.

I’m glad the Blaze didn’t waste any valuable space reporting on the 3rd Party Debate last night hosted by Larry King. After all, I wouldn’t want Beck’s Mormon buddy to lose any votes. Doing a story on the new Iron Man 3 trailer is much more important!

Dear Glenn Beck,

Has it not occurred to you that perhaps Romney didn’t harp on Libya because he gets the same intelligence briefings that the President does? Of the three, you, Romney, and Obama two persons actually know what is happening, and happened there, and those two are choosing not to talk about it too much. So yes, Glenn you go on thinking that you are omniscient. I, however, am not and will trust that when two adversaries choose not to make a certain topic an issue, adversaries who actually have the facts, there is probably a good reason.

It’s either that or Romney as smart as you are and even I do not believe that.

  Dear gradstudent:
  
  Nobody really cares what you have to say. That’s why I’m the only one who has posted under your username.
  
  I would venture to say that Glenn Beck and most of The Blaze readers (excluding you) is intelligent enough to know what’s going on without intelligence reports. It’s called opening your eyes, looking at the world around you and seeking people out who have worked in the Intelligence field like Glenn did.
  
  Have a nice day you dolt.

  Since you are most likely asleep now …the agencies that were dumped upon by the putz ‘n chief are handing out the information NOW..and will until November 6. Romney kept his mouth shut for good reason, just not the reasons you seem to think. The noose is being tied and strung up…and ‘o’ will be hung by his own administration. This is ALL a metaphorical conjecture.

I really used to think Glenn was a good guy who knew what he was talking about. I can see now that the has lost his damn mind because he wants Obama gone so badly. Don’t get me wrong, I want to see him go too, but Glenn has gone off the deep end this time and I don’t think he will be returning to the normal, sane Glenn Beck for quite some time, if ever.

What does he really believe? What really is his plan? Guess it doesn’t really matter to all of you. He’s not Obama so that’s good enough. Sickening.

  Wow hating a president it’s like the liberals were all hugs, kisses, and fairy dust under Bush, but we are bad people because we don’t recognize they are just plain better people than anyone else, and any and all disrespect we get must be deserved. Because they are perfect and just trying to help even if that means we have to live the rest of our lives with their boot on our neck. After all only our actions have consequences, and only their actions have justification. So remember to thank our fascist overlords, after all every day under liberalism is “fascist overlord appreciation day”.

I do not know how some of you people are going to sit on your hands and not vote or vote for a 3rd party, while knowing our president (Obama) and the Sec. of Defense watched the attack on our embassy in real time. It was not overrun until 6 hrs after the attack began. We had quick respond forces just 3 hrs away. Somebody had to give the order not to respond. Is beck the only one covering this? where is the rest of the MSM? Obama and the Sec of Defense should be tried!!! Can you imagine if this happened under Bush?, we would hear it 24/10.

  I suspect if you were to read more of Soy’s post you would agree with him more than you disagree. I understand what you are saying that America was the NWO when she first started out. You are right about that. And yes the illumanti and masons were at the epicenter of the french revolution and ours, but are you saying that todays illumanti and upper masons are a force for good? That they are still trying to create 1776 wordwide? Because what I see from our current elites is a depopulation eugenics agenda and throwing the world into a china model. Have yu seen whats happening in europe right now?

  YOU ARE NOW OFFICIALLY A CERTIFIABLE MORON IN MY EYES FOR NOT KNOWING.
  
  The Masons are FOOLS for trusting the Illuminati to any degree (pun intended).
  
  Once upon a time, there was a Squirrel. This Squirrel had endured a terrible Winter with many predators nearly catching it. The Squirrel barely survived the winter & narrowly escaped it’s predators. So Spring came and the squirrel went looking for a place to live and have a family. During the Summer the Squirrel met a Snake. The Snake seemed friendly because of how reserved it was. The Snake was also wise. The Snake rarely went out to eat so the Squirrel didn’t think the Snake was a threat. The Squirrel decided to make his home in a Tree. Autumn came and the Squirrel with his Power of Foresight gathered food for the coming Winter. The Snake watched the Squirrel take food into the Tree. The Snake also had the Power of Foresight. When Winter came, the Snake entered into the Home of the Squirrel and ate him, took his family as his own, & enjoyed the store of food throughout the Winter. Eventually the Snake ate them too. Before the Squirrel & his family were eaten, they despaired. They asked why they ever tried to be happy. Each of them died inside before they were eaten. The Snake then died inside knowing loneliness and their despair finally realizing that the Squirrel deserved to lived and really it was he that deserv

It’s pretty simple now that I look back on the debate…

Obama was using all his Alynski tactics and Romney didn’t fall for them.

Obama set his traps and Mitt walked around them.

Obama wanted a tennis match and Romney went bowling.

Obama got stoned beforehand to mellow out and Mitt prayed.

Obama lost in his own mind and Romney won in his.

Obama turned of the undecided and Mitt won them over.

In the long run….. it was all about the undecided voters.

Romney is a step in the right direction………but a far cry from what is truly needed. We’ve gotten so far from what the founders wanted its gonna take a lot of effort and time to get back. Term limits for congress, senate. Senate appointed by the states. We have to erase 100 years of progressive movement in the wrong direction and get back to the constitution. Constitutional law not president or case law. Everything must be measured against the Constitution. Eliminate executive orders. …… wtf is up with that. Good god ……elect me and I’ll get it straightened out. WTF

If you look at Romney’s face while Obama berates him about submarines, you see a man who is peaceful, confident in himself and who, I believe turned this debate over to God. And I’m not even religious. He was going to be himself and take the consequences of that. I think he did a great and authentic job. I trust his ethics implicitly – surprising myself. He may make decisions I don’t agree with in the future but that’s quite different.

The reason you guys keep losing these battles is because you are on the wrong side. Instead of criticizing Obama for not doing enough on foreign policy – you should be criticizing him for doing TOO MUCH intervention around the world.

And domestically, republicans are acting like Obama has done the wrong things when the reality is that government has done TOO MUCH and cannot be fixed by ‘doing things differently’.

Yes it would have been fun watching Romney dissect the Marxist mulatto fraud POS on the Libya disaster but Romney chose the high road and looked presidential. Everyone knows except for Obamazombies that Barry allowed those men to be murdered and did nothing to help them,hell he probably preferred they were killed so their real mission wouldn’t become public knowledge.

If you’re an undecided voter at his point you probably shouldn’t be allowed to vote or go out in public at least without adult supervision.

  Romney is playing a good game of chess, but THE ONE will cheat. I think Romney played last night perfectly with one decisive win and one toss up (as seen by the general public). Obama’s ego is taking a huge hit and hopefully he implodes. But as a trapped rat will attack…..so may the Progs. Remember ….even if he loses, Obama is in office for 2 months. We know he’s a muslim, now with knowledge of the American president. What could possibly go wrong. If the wind of change blow…….he stands with ISLAM. The winds of change are blowing.

  Did anyone catch how hot under the collar our Muslim Prez got when Romney mentioned all the dictators he’s so supportive of. I thought smoke was going to come out of his gigantic ears. How dare Mitt mention his “dear” mentors and friends in such a negative tone!! Pure Marxist usurper all the way. The truth is pure poison to this wicked man, Barry Soetoro.

  ———————————————–
  Agreed. Romney’s no fool. He’s sat across boardroom tables and hammered out deals with guys in the business world who make Barry The Boy-King look silly. It probably took a great deal of self-discipline but he chose to let Barry hang himself.
  
  Military tactics are like unto water; for water in its natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards.
  
  So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. Like water, taking the line of least resistance.
  
  Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing.
  
  Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions.
  
  He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born captain.
