Mitt Romney appears on Neil Cavuto's show today, and while he continues to deny any involvement by his campaign in the PhoneyFred.org controversy, Romney saved his most pointed remarks for Barack Obama and his position on Iraq:

"Well, thank heavens Barack Obama was not President over the last year because had Barack Obama been President over the last year, Osama Bin laden would have been declaring victory in Iraq. We would have had Al Qaeda as a dominant player in Iraq. They would have had a safe haven, particularly in the Sunni portion of the country. We would have had a safe haven that would have had made Afghanistan look like child's play and the consequences for America and the world would have been dire.

So we are fortunate indeed that Barack Obama was not President. And I think the comments he's made over the last month with regards to unilaterally going into Pakistan, to visiting people like Ahmadinejad and Castro and Hugo Chavez, I think they've disqualified him in the minds of virtually everybody who's serious about this country. This is a man who, by virtue of politics, and perhaps panic, has suggested a course in Iraq that would have led to Al Qaeda having a new safe haven."
