"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

 

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

 

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792

 

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

 

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Rand Paul: blah blah blah.

His act sure grew old fast.

BTW no ground troops, but we most certainly should choose sides.

He is right we should not choose sides.

We should destroy every one that opposes us.

This isn’t a damn civil war...any more than if a bunch of radical canadians came down here and started murdering and torturing our citizens. Rand sure turned out to be a worthless turd.

The only reason the middle east is more unstable is that Obama pulled the troops out.

Because of Bush we had a presence right next to Iran and close to Afghanistan and Obama blew it.

Rand Paul is nuts.

“Obama has made mistakes, but so did Bush by invading”

The fact that Iraq was pacified and Americans died accomplishing the pacification nullifies the mistake of invading Iraq, if it was a mistake. Their sacrifice was counted as nothing by Obama when he removed all troops. I don’t know how to resolve the situation, but I do know that Obama completely mishandled it from the beginning.

Today the Middle East is less stable than in 2003. The Iraq war strengthened Iran's influence in Iraq and throughout the Middle East.

The first sentence is arguable but the second is factually untrue. The thing with either one of the Pauls is that, even if they get the data correct they invariably get the analysis - and consequently the conclusions - wrong.

In 1984, Reagan's Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger developed the following criteria for war, primarily to avoid another Vietnam.

It seems likely that avoiding another Marine barracks bombing would have been more on Weinberger's mind, since that had occurred the previous year and it hadn't been clear what we were doing in Lebanon.

One side massacres Christians. One side doesn’t.

But we can’t take sides.

the just and righteous cause is the cause to CRUSH radical islam , throughout the Middle East , and force a reform of islam in general , everywhere else .

George Bush was right ; this is a war that might take a long time, But there is no other cause so worth fighting for , no other evil so worth fighting against .

The sooner we unleash our Armed Forces and military-industrial capacity to their full extent , without ridiculous , stupid enemy protecting Rules of Engagement , the better .

For some reason we have put the lawyers in charge of how our wars are prosecuted . Including electing them to the highest office . This insanity has to end . America needs to be led by warriors , not by lawyers . And the fight needs to be joined by ALL AMERICANS .
If you cannot sign on to this one , get out .

As I read the comments to this point it occurred to me the majority of posts neglected to consider we no longer hold bond drives to support our wars. Before we engage we might want to consider what small change we have remaining in the Treasury.

Oh, wait. Never mind. I’ve found the funding.

Ta ta. I’m off to Burger King for my fifty-dollar Whopper made my way. Thanks to HASBRO bucks.

>>"with the clear intention of winning."<<

That says it all right there. That demands a reason, a strategy, a commitment, and a goal. None of which most of the idiots in congress or the populace understand.

Of course we should pick a side. How else will we know who we’ll be fighting next?
