Rick Perry Gets Emotional Talking About Our Troops and Obama’s Foreign Policy Failures

[Geee]

Townhall:

Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) served as a captain in the U.S. Air Force. Years later, when he lived in the Texas governors' mansion, he invited Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell into his home for two years. Perhaps that's why he got so choked up talking about the sacrifice of our brave men and women at a forum in South Carolina Thursday. He answered questions on foreign policy, stating he would keep Guantanamo Bay open, a decision he said was incredibly easy: "The bad guys don't need to be over here."

 

That's when the governor got a bit more candid, challenging President Obama's lack of direction when it comes to protecting America.

 

 

"This president does not know how to, and I’m just going to editorialize here just a little bit — this president does not know how to connect the dots. If he did, we would not be negotiating with Iran today. If he did, we would have the Castro brothers on their knees in Cuba, but we threw them a lifeline."
