But this morning on Fox News Sunday, Cain showed just how limited his understanding is of the Middle East peace process. Asked by host Chris Wallace what he would be prepared to offer Palestinians as part of a deal, Cain responded, “Nothing.” Just moments later, Cain was dazed and confused when Wallace referenced the issue of “right of return” of Palestinian refugees:Sad, but true...
WALLACE: Where do you stand on the right of return?
CAIN: The right of return? [pause] The right of return?
WALLACE: The Palestinian right of return.
CAIN: That’s something that should be negotiated. That’s something that should be negotiated.
Wallace then helpfully offered Cain a definition of “right of return” — “Palestinian refugees, the people that were kicked out of the land in 1948, should be able to or should have any right to return to Israeli land.” Cain again showed his lack of knowledge, veering completely off his pro-Likud script. “I don’t think they have a big problem with people returning,” Cain said.

Herman Cain...not ready for prime time
While browsing www.memeorandum.com I came across this, from (hold nose) Think Progress:
In addition to his lack of knowledge on the palestinian right of return (See UN Resolution 194, Article 11, December 1948), Herman Cain stated that we need to "read" the Constitution while citing the Declaration of Independence (two completely separate documents). As a Republican for morre than 38 years, I would never support someone that is clueless as Herman Cain for any political office.
