Cain so dumb as a dumb could be. But when it comes to foreign policy he tops himself all the time.
My favourite: "I don't care who's the president of Uzbekibekibekistantan"

This guy is on the start of huge career on FOX, nothing more.
Not being flippant, but this really is a clear George W. Bush in the making if he got into office. Deep lack of knowledge on foreign policy with an ability to easily be driven by the existing right-wing foreign policy establishment (witness how he went from saying he would support Palestinian right of return on Fox News to denying the existence of the Palestinians as a people within a short period of AIPAC and Alan Dershowitz 'mentoring'). The way he talks about always listening to advisers combined with the far-right flavors of conservatism driving the Republican party and his own ignorance on the world outside the US would virtually guarantee a dangerous presidency very akin in its motivations to those of GWB.
What Cain really means by "assessing the opposition" in pre-revolutionary Libya -----
If they're in favor of religious and political expression, be it in the form of Islamic law, I would've let Qaddafi do away with them.
