AP NATIONAL COVERAGE — Obama, Romney in face-to-face duel spar over Iran, Israel
Published 12:01 am Monday, October 22, 2012
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA sharply challenged Mitt Romney on foreign policy in their final campaign debate Monday night, saying, “Every time you’ve offered an opinion you’ve been wrong.”
The Republican coolly responded, “Attacking me is not an agenda” for dealing with a dangerous world.
The president and his rival sat at close quarters 16 days before the end of an impossibly close election campaign and dueled over foreign policy, from Libya to Israel to Iran.
The two men frequently sniped at one another even on issues where they agree, and reprised their campaign-long disagreements over the economy, energy, education and other domestic issues despite ground rules that stipulated the debate cover international affairs.
