TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney is acknowledging that President Barack Obama gave the order that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden. But Romney described Obama's other defense and foreign policy moves as having weakened the nation and betrayed its allies.
In his convention speech, Romney said by failing to slow Iran's nuclear threat, Obama has made every American less secure.
He accused Obama of having "thrown allies like Israel under the bus." And he said Obama had "abandoned" Poland by "walking away from" U.S. commitments on missile defense.
Romney referred to an overheard conversation between Obama and Russia's Vladimir Putin, in which Obama suggested he'd have "more flexibility" on missile defense after the election.
Romney said if he's elected, Putin will see "a little less flexibility and more backbone."
