Still can't believe Romney's going abroad but not to Afghanistan. Surprise visit? http://nyti.ms/Mywv0O
@rockrichard Heck, not w/Mitt, but w/say, Kerry, a visit to teh people actually fighting a war might be really instructive.

@emptywheel If Romney goes to BAF, maybe does one flyover, does he have a better understanding of Afgh than, say, you? I think not. -
@rockrichard No. Probably not. But who knows? Maybe he'd see what a thankless task defending Karzai is. Has he seen it? -
@emptywheel Again, this is something you, having never been to Afgh (correct if wrong), already know. Why does Mitt need to go to learn it? -
@rockrichard BC Mitt's advisors present him Afgh as it exists in ideological bubble, which they're fighting over? -
@emptywheel To hear his (lack of) Afgh plan, I don't know that they're even doing that. -
@rockrichard Maybe. But they ARE ideologically split on other issues, so it may explain why he has no Afgh strategy. -
@emptywheel I agree. Just saying 1 day at BAF in the JOC isnt going to fix that. It will be a day for him 2 campaign on a mil installation.

@emptywheel And Kerry is a different case. He's a sitting Senator. Would be different if Romney were a sitting governor. -
@rockrichard I guess the reason I pointed to the briefings is bc that implicitly treats nominee as elected official.
