Crimea invasion makes Laura Ingraham worry about Mexicans on U.S. border By David Edwards rawstory.com Sunday, March 23, 2014 11:11 EDT Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham on Sunday used the Russian invasion of Crimea to say that the United States should be focusing on stopping undocumented immigrants from coming across its border. During a Fox News panel discussion on Crimea that included former deputy Pentagon chief Paul Wolfowitz, Ingraham began by blasting the Iraq war, which he helped to orchestrate. “Upwards of two trillion dollars in Iraq, right? We don’t have a lot to show for it,” she said. “We are stumbling still in Afghanistan. The American people — we can talk about, we can do this and we can do that [to stop Russia]. And I understand that, I really do.” “But we have a country right now where people look around and say, why do we only care about borders and sovereignty when they’re other countries’ borders and sovereignty?” the frequent Fox News guest host added. “Why is it that we’re obsessed about that, but in our country, we have a middle class completely flat-lining, we have economic opportunity dwindling?” Ingraham noted that she had supported the “military adventurism” in Iraq, but people now wanted to know, “Where’s the bang for the buck?” “You can’t do this in the rearview mirror,” Wolfowitz insisted. “You got to learn from the past, Paul,” Ingraham interrupted. “One of the things to learn from the past, including the past of the 1930s, is if you don’t deter these sort of moves early, when you can do it without military force, you end up in wars,” Wolfowitz replied. “And that’s what we’re trying to avoid here.” Watch the video below from Fox News’ Fox News Sunday, broadcast March 23, 2014.

Mitt Romney: My power to ‘see the future’ could have stopped Russia’s invasion By David Edwards rawstory.com Sunday, March 23, 2014 13:52 EDT Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday suggested that he had a power to “see the future,” and could have stopped Russia from invading Crimea if he had been elected in 2012. “The president’s naïveté with regards to Russia, and his faulty judgement about Russia’s intentions and objectives has led to a number of foreign policy challenges that we face,” Romney opined to CBS host Bob Schieffer on Sunday’s edition of Face the Nation. “And unfortunately not having anticipated Russia’s intentions, the president wasn’t able to shape the kinds of events that may have been able to prevent the kinds of circumstances that you’re seeing in the Ukraine, as well as the things that you’re seeing in Syria.” “I think effective leaders typically are able to see the future to a certain degree, and are able to take actions to shape it in some way,” he added. “And that’s, of course, what this president has failed to do. And as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton as well.” “There’s always the potential that we could have kept them from invading a country and annexing it into their own.” Watch this video from CBS’ Face the Nation, broadcast March 23, 2014.
