Since the mainstream media hasn't caught on to him, my judgment is that this piece gets him a pass. Foreign Affairs is an O.K. mag, but it can't publish responses to Huck until after the critical primaries; they're allowing themselves to be used. I imagine that's why FA was chosen over The New York Times or The Washington Post. Sad. Huck’s running for office: it doesn’t have to be a policy, it just has to sound like one to the electorate.

A fast rising Pres. Candidate is trashing Saudi. I'm just stunned by that. Common, we all know he is just playing for the "I hate Musilums" votes. And there are a TON of them here in the US. He wont do a damn thing if he gets elected. He will take the Saudi money just like Bush and Clinton did. Talk about a non-story. Oh what a surprise. A fast rising Pres. Candidate is trashing Saudi.
