Romney slams Obama foreign policy

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney issued a sweeping indictment yesterday of President Barack Obama’s conduct of foreign policy, including a charge that the White House sought political gain by leaking classified details of the military raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

The sharp attack on Mr Obama, issued in a Reno, Nevada, speech to the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), sets up Mr Romney’s journey this week to Britain, Israel and Poland, key American allies.
