Another Republican debate, another opportunity to call out Barack Obama’s alleged softness on national security.
Toward the end of Wednesday night’s presidential debate in Mesa, Arizona, when the conversation shifted to foreign policy, newly minted back-runner Newt Gingrich tossed out some tried-and-true applause bait:

Here are a few more:

So there you have it: A whole bunch of America’s enemies, now in a terminal state of not being safe.
