I guess my understanding of “neoconservative” is wrong....did Laura use the term?
Or is that the word the headline writer and author of the article used?
One of the arguments for intervention is that Ingraham-Limbaugh-Hannity-Palin would be in favor of intervention if Reagan was President.
What?
What kind of argument would Reagan be making that would sway us? Plus, if a short duration air strike was in order; it would be over by now.
Come on, BOR.
Ever since Kosovo and Somalia, I have tried to be honest with myself about the use of American military power. I want to make sure my support or disapproval is not based on who is the president.
Of course I supported Afghanistan- at first. Then I saw our so-called leadership (both Bush and Obama) dithering instead of trying to win.
I supported Iraq, and still do. I have seen with my own eyes the tremendous good it did in the Kurdistan region. It’s been almost 3 years since I’ve been there, but I saw new building going on nearly everywhere. The Kurdish people, along with tens of thousands of Christians, Arabs, Persians, and Turks, are prospering and relatively safe there. It was difficult to think that entire villages were rounded up and exterminated by the bloody dictator we toppled. The Iraq war had a clear goal, even if our national leadership sometimes bungled the efforts.
I also supported Clinton on his hits against Saddam Hussein’s regime, but wished he had done more.
