“I don’t think Israel has any problem with Palestinians’ returning,” he said.

(from Pastorius)

Herman Cain doesn't seem to know much about the Mideast.

“The candidate for president who best stands the chance of earning the gadfly-with-breakout-potential trophy is Herman Cain,” John says.

Maybe. On Fox News Sunday this morning, however, Cain imitated Sarah Palin’s blank stare when Chris Wallace asked him about the right of return. “The right of return?” he said. After Wallace explained the Palestinian demand to return to the homes they were “thrown out of” [sic!] in 1948, Cain said that would be negotiated between the Israelis and Palestinians. “I don’t think Israel has any problem with Palestinians’ returning,” he said.

Even though Cain had told Wallace just a few moments before that he would offer the Palestinians “nothing,” because he is not convinced they are committed to peace and democracy, his cluelessness on the right of return suggests that Cain is more blowhard than gadfly.

AH SHIT.

Another one is exposed as not having the intellectual interest to LEARN important things?

Disappointing . . .but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since he understands "Many Muslims Want to ‘Kill’ or ‘Convert all Infidels’". He may not be as well versed in the Palestinian conflict as I would like - it's certainly something to keep an eye on.

I have seen and talked to him in person and this man is NO fool. He went on to put Wallace in his place and defusing the landmines Wallace laid. If you think he is a blowhard, you better think again. This man is serious about what he says and will surround himself with people who are better on foreign policy than he. CAIN 2012 GROW UP AND GET OVER OBAMA FOOLS...

Fp,
Why did he give this answer?

That is not a very well thought out answer.

Would you agree?
