  What is this "inclination" of your based on?

  1. Continued rumor of partnership with Hagel, who has the distinction of being flagged by the NY Sun as weak on terror and anti-Israel.

  2. Nancy Soderberg apparently advising Bloomberg.

  3. This speech, although mainly on greenhouse gases, included this paragraph:

  "That means ending the “go-it-alone” approach to foreign affairs that has never served America well. It didn’t work in the 1920s, when we tried to isolate ourself from the world, and it hasn’t work in recent years, when we’ve tried to stand above it, pretending that vital international treaties can simply be ignored."

  To your final point - "When it comes to Middle East policy, what differences do you think you see?" - are you really serious in asking this question?

  There is literally no-one in Rudy's league when it comes to ME foreign policy. Okay, maybe Tom "Bomb Mecca" Tancredo. But of the leading candidates, none of them come close to Hizzoner.

  Let me be clear - I think Ron Paul speaks with more clarity and sense on foreign policy than any of the leading candidates. If I had to create a foreign policy craziness scale of 0-10, with 0 = sane and 10 = crazy, Paul would be 0 and Rudy 10. You are saying Bloomberg would be 10 as well. I'm disagreeing; I don't know exactly where I would put Bloomberg, but he ain't Rudy.
