[UPDATED 7:30am Eastern] Mitt Romney campaign's press secretary Andrea Saul says if Romney were commander in chief, he would work with allies to arm the opposition in Syria to stem the tide of violence.


I've watched CNN every morning for over 15 years and love it. However, I'm getting tired of Will's constant negative comments, attitude and snipping. There are certainly more qualified people who can provide a more balanced and positive attitude for your morning show.
Romney thinks we should arm the syrian rebels? He does understand this means arming Al Queda who we are fighting around the globe. So Romney wants to arm our enemy now, its nice you pointed that out... Sarcasm intended.
Honestly, it was pretty silly for Soledad to push Romney's press secretary into a corner about the Syria issue. Sure it's Ms. Saul's job to be apprised of all things Romney, but there are just some things you have to hear directly from the horse's mouth. I felt as though Soledad was just trying to overdramatize things rather than simply getting the news.
Romney's job at Bain was not to create jobs, it was to create capital gains for his investors. This includes loading these companies up with debt, outsourcing and breaking unions.
