In New Hampshire, Brown Betting on National Security

Published September 25, 2014 11:01am ET



America is “at a dangerous moment for our country and our friends,” said Scott Brown, the Republican candidate for Senate in New Hampshire, on Wednesday afternoon. In a speech at St. Anselm College near Manchester, Brown described the chaos that’s broken out across the world over the last year or so. Unrest in Ukraine with an aggressive and assertive Russia. Iran’s continued pursuit of nuclear weapons threatening America’s ally of Israel. The explosive growth of ISIS and the reemergence of Islamic terrorism in the Middle East that has killed thousands in Iraq and Syria, including America citizens. “It’s starting to feel like the world is on fire, with so many crises getting worse, so many adversaries gaining ground,” Brown said.

His address criticized Obama’s “maxed out” and “worn down” foreign policy. “This is what foreign policy looks like without clarity and conviction. This is what the world looks like without American leadership,” Brown said of the tumultuous state of global affairs.
