Mitt Romney, running for President of the United States, as a Republican, is a dangerous empty suit / chair, that is endangering all Americans living in the US and abroad, by his explotation of the Israel / Arab situation, fostering flames between the US and Iran, and could cause World War III, by his failure to support US policy - while not offering real solutions or even a policy, that can be considered or debated - see him after the election !!!
Mitt Romney apparently is being advised by old George W. Bush aides, who did not learn the lessons from his failures in foreign policy and who got us into two wars with @ 5,700 dead US Soldiers and 66,000 wounded soldiers. Soldiers who will need extensive post war medicaL and psychological treatment far into the future.
Romney waNTs to get tough with Iran. Iran is not worth World War III and that may happen if his misguieded comments force a division between the US and Israel, and encourages Israel to strike at Iran, inflaming the whold Middle East. Iran with a nuclear weapon is not a credible threat to Israel or the US. If Iran were to use a nuclear weapon he may destroy Israeil, Lebonon, Turkey, Syria,Jordan and parts of Ejypt. No Arab nation would feel comfortable with Iran using a nuclear weapon.
North Korean has developed a nuclear weapon - should we be concerned - Yes. Iran - Yes, but we cannot be the policeman of the World. We must use the United Nations, and diplomacy to stope Iran. The United Nations, is our cover, is our vehicle to develop a coordinated, consensus to solve the worlds problems. Not US Soldiers. Romney has not spoken out against North Korea - why?? because he has no foreign policy. He just shouts from the Lip, whenever President Obama speaks.
President Obama made a perfect speech at the United Nations, Tuesday, that spoke about our beliefs, values and of a United States that doesn't want to make war against any nation, but will be strong, and will take action if necessary. Republicans will take the President's speech and turn it to their own agenda - to stir up right wing fervor, to make the American people think that Obama has failed and weak in foreign policy - when the opposite is true. President Obama has turned the bad policies of George Bush, and made America more respected overseas.
Romney needs to shut up...and to give Americans and the World, his views on how to move forward in foreign policy and what he would do different the President Obama.
We should not have to wait until the election has passed to find out how Romney will make the US stronger and protect American from threats both domestic and foreign.

DETROIT - BURN BABY BURN - MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL RESPONSIBLE
BURN BABY BURN...DETROIT IS ABLAZE...
31 FIRES IN 32 HOURS...14 ON THE EAST SIDE...17 WESTSIDE FIRES....
With 'Devil's Night err Angels night approaching....
Detroit is ablaze, and the Detroit Fire Department can't handle the crush of fires that is engulfing Detroit. People suspect that most of the fires are arson !
Mayor Dave Bing, and the Detroit City Council are, in part, responsible - because they have failed to make Public Safety thee #1 issue in Detroit. Detroit has closed police precincts and fire stations.
The Detroit Police Department and the Detroit Fire Department are both undermanned, with low morale, and under paid, making due with poor executive leadership, bad equipment and long hours.
The Mayor and bloated City Council (with four (4)) more Council members than needed) have failed to put the safety of Detroit residents, police officers, fire fighters and visitors lives at risk, in part, because of petty bickering and a financially desperate situation, that they cannot solve on their own. The Mayor and City Council are at WAR against each other, while the City sinks deeper in debt and problems are not resolved.
This is at a time when Detroit had 140 shootings / 32 homicides in 15 days..not including more homicides since my last blog.
ps: Apparently the Detroit City Council, described by one of Detroit's major newspaper as a 'bunch of clowns' has rejected a proposal to make Belle Isle, a state park, that would restore the park to usable condition, make it safer, and save Detroit almose $3m dollars a year - saying it lacked specifics and was 'insulting' - If Detroit residents didn't deserve better - I would tell Govenor Snyder to walk away and let Detroit dissolve...but Detroit needs State and Federal assistance because the Mayor and City Council cannot and do not have the resolve to solve Detroit's problems.

DETROIT - MURDER CITY - USA...Trying to keep the Title !!!
From Fox2 Detroit:
277 homicides / murders - so far 2012
259 homicides / murders - 2011
32 homicides/ murders - 2012, last 15 --15 --15 DAYS !!!!
140 shootings - 32 homicides / murders - 2012, last 15 days...
Detoit maybe the only city to host a Super Bowl (50) and still have two (2) unsolved homicides / murders - and this occured with over 10,000 local, state, and federal law enforcement officers working Super Bowl 50.
The Detroit Police Department has failed to comply with Department of Justice -Consent Decrees, since 2003 - in part because a sexual relationship between felon/x Mayor Kilpatrick and the Kroll Worldwide court monitor, and because the Judge Julian Cook has apparently gone to sleep and failed to do his job of keeping the process going forward.
When will Mayor Bing, City Council members and the powerful black ministers of Detroit get out on their bully pulpits and preach, pray and teach - that using a gun is wrong, and harming the black community and Detroit's image around the country and the world.
The Detroit Police Department is undermanned, morale low, and lacking quality leadership. This must change - Detroit needs a new police chief, a national search for a new nationally respected individual that will come in, clean house and demand more from the Mayor, City Council, the State of Michigan and the Federal Government. Detroit cannot solve its problems with the current political leaders and financial situation.
Detroit needs help and the political leadership of Detroit is too worried about a state takeover - rather than making Public Safety the #1 issue - the #1 concern - saving Detroit residents lives and not Bell Isle.
ps: From - Charlie LeDuff, Fox2 Detroit:
Unfortunately, this doesn't include "justifiables" and reclassifieds...the true number is at least 297.

BELLE ISLE - DETROIT TAKE THE DEAL
BELLE ISLE....
Years ago (2003) when I ran for Detroit City Council, no one from the BI Conservancy responded at all, no one from the media, was interested in my proposals to improve BI - as a DPD Officer assigned for two summers, I know that BI was thee most dangerous place in Detroit, during the summer and needed improvements.
Now it is a hot topic - because some ignorant members of the 'enlightened' City Council are worried about a State takeover, refusing to acknowledge history that - it was the State that encouraged Detroit to buy BI and gave the City the money to do so...
The most ignorant comment so far and there have been many (Joanne Watson) is by Coleman Young, Jr, a state senator, who made comments about Yogi Bear and Boo Boo ??? BI will be operated like any other state park - you can buy a $10. state park sticker, from the Secretary of State, for you license plate and go onto BI or into any other state park, with now other charges - except camping fees. This fee is a bargain - a steal for anyone who uses state parks...
The City can not properly take care of Rouge Park, which will remain free to use - but large parts are unuseable because of tall grass and poor or no maintenance.
Detroit cannot maintain Eliza Howell Park (I was a DPD Park Ranger there) where deer have been killed and suburbanites have grooved deep tracks in the grass, while riding illegally on 4 wheelers. The city is fighting and expensive lawsuit, by Ken Cheyne, to take back EHP, that his family donated, so he can maintain and improve it for local residents. A pay to play scheme was offered but rejected by Cheyen.
The only damage that has been done to BI has been by Roger Penske and the Grand Prix - with the Mayors and City Council apparent unconcern and approval. Penske paved over 10 acres of BI ($7M dollars) and now are fixing and extending the roads to accomodate the Grand Prix - that is for the rich and ignores the damaged done to the wildlife and beauty of BI. Detroit is NOT getting compensated enough for the time the Grand Prix, preparations and race that take over BI (closing it to residents - and impedes their use of BI) and not enough to compensate for the police, fire and EMS expenses.
The City is getting a deal at 20 years !!! and should approve and sign the agreement - ASAP, so improvements can be done.
So City Council - the paperwork is in your hands...Do you have the intelligence to approve the contract or do you still pander, decieved the public - that you are protecting them and Detroit's 'jewels'.

NRA: NO MORE DEAD POLICE OFFICERS - NO MORE MASSACRES
NO MORE DEAD POLICE OFFICERS.....STAND UP TO THE NRA (NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION)
MITT ROMNEY AND PRESIDENT OBAMA - need to stand up as ONE against the NRA (National Rifle Association) and propose common sense gun regulations that prevent the sale of assault weapons and large amounts of ammunition to citizens of the USA.
NO MORE DEAD CITIZENS.....
NO MORE MASSACRES caused by military style assault weapons with high capacity ammunition magazines......hand guns with high capacity magazines.
There are and will remain to many military style assault weapons in the hands of nut cases, anti-goverment subversives (US citizens), and disgruntled people, who can snap in a minute - but we must make a stand, stand up...and say 'enough is enough'
We support responsible gun laws - and oppose those NRA members, who misuse the US Constitution and buy US government officials to stop - responsible gun regulations -and a ban on military assault weapons and high capacity magazines.

ROMNEY- RYAN 2012 ???, JON HUNTSMAN, FOX NEWS (Chris Wallace)
The EMPTY CHAIR - at the Republican Party Convention 2012 - should have been filled by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan !! Romney has failed to pass the 'trust issues' that plague US Democracy -
- He hasn't filed his 20122 IRS Tax Return, that was due on April 15, 2012. His father, former Michigan Governor and Presidential candidate provided over 20 tax returnds, what is Mitt hiding, the fact that he paid only up to 13% tax rate and gave ONLY 8% to charity (Mormons are required to donate 10%).
- He decried Pesident Obama's policy toward Cuba (Romney - Castro is a damned boogie man / communist - who threatens the US) - wrong, Castro is an old man, who has relinquished power, to his brother, Cuba is no threat to the US. Obama's policy toward Cuba, is enlightened and more likely to undermine the Castro brothers, than isolation. The Obama policy is to open Cuba to scholars and visitors and to Cuban families that have been divided since the JFK era (1963)...1963 - We are now trading partners with Viet Nam, whom we fought a war against, lost over 51,000 American lives. We now have thousands of Viet Nam era soldiers returning to see where they fought and their friends and collegues died - but we can't visit Cube (under Romney). We eat Vietnamese shrimp and wear clothes made in Viet Nam, but Castro must be destroyed or he will destroy the USA ??? American $$$$ will put an end to the Castro brothers. Romney will continue a failed policy - an extreme right wing / tea party agenda - that is wrong.
- He (Romney) wants WAR??? He seems not to see that George W. Bush, who started two wars (one on a blantant lie) that has cost American soldiers their lives - Romney doesn't seem to understant that negotiations, not shoe thumping table talk is a better way - Iran is not worth World War III - North Korea has a nuclear weapon, Isreal has a nuclear weapon, Why does Romney seem to want to push the Button !!!
And Romney has not told us his VISION of US Foriegn Policy - He says he will not be 'flexible' with Russian President Putin. He supports putting missiles in Poland, even though they are a threat to Russia - didn't we oppose missles in Cuba, because they were a threat to the USA ???
- He said Obams 'threw Israel under the bus'??? OMG what an outrageous and wrong statement !!! And no one seems to have challenged it. Israel has a nuclear weapon and is building settlements in lands they say they will return, under a Peace Agreement - but it doesn't see the need to stop the settlements. We all stand with Israel, but the US should not support or encourage a World War over Iran.
- Romney has not told us his plan to return America to prosperity, Why not?? He said he will create 12 million job, in four years - HOW?? If Obama said that - Republicans would call him a liar.
- Romney - Ryan 2012 need to tell the TRUTH, explain their plans, not wait until December 2012 to tell the American People - thier plans.
Chris Wallace (Fox News) shame - your father, would be so embarrased that you failed to critically review the speech of Mitt Romney and said 'I will shup up and let the visuals tell the story (balloons failing from the ceiling and children happy seeing the balloons, that is his commentary of Romney) Shame Chris Wallace..
Jon Huntsman, Jr, on the Colbert Report, on Comedy Central (8-30-2012) made a case that the Republican Party is too extreme right, and that HE should have been the Republican nominee in 2012...listen to his interview - below (click)
