"I mean, in one week he went from saying he's going to sit down, you know, for tea, with our enemies, but then he's going to bomb our allies," said Romney. "I mean, he's gone from Jane Fonda to Dr. Strangelove in one week." apnews.myway.com/article/20070805/D8QQU2N00.html

Though I don't especially like Obama, I did like his initial comment about meeting with the leaders of unfriendly countries. This was something that was done extensively by Republican Presidents in the past-- most notably Ronald Reagan.
I did not like Obama's statement about going into Pakistan, however.
All that being said, Romney's statement makes no sense whatsoever, like most statements from Republicans.
And just to further demonstrate how delusional most of the Republicans are, Romney takes another half-witted shot at Ron Paul.
Regarding Iraq, Ron Paul said ""Just come home".... He (Paul) said there had never been a good reason to go to war in the first place."
And the response from 'rocket scientist' Mitt Romney was:
""Has he forgotten about 9/11?""
Did Romney "forget" the results of the 9/11 Commission report? Did he "forget" that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11? Nothing whatsoever?
The main thing making Democrats look good right now is how outright insane most Republican Presidential candidates appear. (Ron Paul being the lone exception.)
Terrorism and abortion are not the only issues facing Americans today. They're not even the biggest ones.
The biggest issues are the economy and Iraq. More specifically, saving the economy and getting out of Iraq. Democrats have at least touched on the issues, though they've proposed little in the way of good policy proposals.
However, the "non-Paul" Republican Presidential candidates are completely out to lunch. Their campaign rhetoric can be summed up with just one worn-out soundbite:
"Be afraid, be very, very afraid."
I am afraid. I'm afraid one of these Republican nut-jobs will become President.
I'm also afraid that the Democratic candidates are morphing into the same kind of fear-mongering demagogues as the Republicans.
Right now, the only thing Democrats have in their favor is that they are not Republicans (except for Hillary "I'd-rather-be-a-Republican" Clinton, who's never met a lobbyist she wouldn't take money from.)
Unless Ron Paul pulls an upset in the primary, runs a viable 3rd party campaign, or if Michael Bloomberg runs, our Presidential options in 2008 will be that of voting for the lesser of 2 evils.
