WASHINGTON — With America embroiled in its longest armed conflict, Mitt Romney became the first Republican since 1952 to accept his party's nomination without mentioning war.

McCain's speech was literally 100% foreign intervention.

maybe they are taking some cues from Paul.

I don't know about that. He didn't mention the forgotten wars of Afghanistan and Iraq, but he was very hawkish with regards to Putin's Russia.

 

[acptulsa]

There was plenty of war talk, it was just all in code. American Exceptionalism is war talk, or at least I've never heard any that wasn't.

 

[robert9712000]

Because the war they desire this election is against America !

 

[economics102]

Well, that's not entirely true. He basically said he's itching for a war with Iran.

 

[Brett85]

Yeah, this isn't true. He said that war was a better option than diplomacy in regards to Iran.

 

[mad cow]

Out of sight,out of mind.

What? He made it known in his acceptance speech that he is all about more war. Could he have taken a more hawkish stance in regard to Iran, Syria, and even Russia?
