>>> all the agreement we just chronicled seemed to be a move to the center as we said by governor romney , just two weeks before the election. taking positions he has not taken before. we get a check of some of the facts tonight from our chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell . andrea, good evening.
>> mitt romney 's switch to a more moderate foreign policy last night was clearly aimed at independent women voters. so called security moms. in the past, romney has taken a hardline on the possibility of military action against iran, to stop its nuclear program. last night he emphasized diploma diplomacy.
>> a military action is the last resort. it is something one would only consider if all of the other avenues had been tried to their full extent.
>> on syria , romney used to talk about the u.s. arming the rebels. then two weeks ago, he said the u.s. should help allied partners arm them.
>> i don't want to have our military involved in syria . i don't think there's a necessity to put our military in syria at this stage.
>> finally on benghazi after spending more than a month, including at last week's debate. relentlessly attacking the president for security and intelligence failures. last night romney was brief and unexpectedly mild.
>> we see in libya, an attack apparently by -- i think we know now by terrorists of some kind against our people there, four people dead. our hearts and minds go to them.
>> reporter: on iraq and also on the timetable for withdrawing from afghanistan, romney also noticeably softened his position. clearly having decided that undecided voters , those swing voters are more likely to choose a moderate republican than a hawk.
>> andrea mitchell part of our post debate coverage tonight. thanks.
