This Crenshaw sounds a little simple minded. That line is old and defunct. They are here as we speak.
We all thank him for his service, but what he suggests means perpetual war and occupation. Dubya tried that and it didn’t work. We can’t change cultures by occupying them, especially ones so utterly alien to human rights and Judeo-Christian values. Until they can free themselves from the chains of Satanic Mohammadan bondage, chaos, warfare and evil will continue until God Almighty calls humanity home.
Would you be saying that if he agreed with you?
That line is old and defunct.
Old, yes. Most politicians aren't very original. But that works out alright because sooner or later old lines become relevant again.
They are here as we speak.
Not in great numbers, though.
This is a recurring problem. Men who fought in the First World War wanted to get home. Then years later, maybe some of them thought if we'd stayed in France or Germany their sons might not have had to fight another war. Same thing with soldiers who fought against Saddam having to go back to fight ISIS. I can't fault or condemn or feel superior to this Congressman for wondering about whether we'll have to send troops back to Syria some day. Hardly anybody wants American troops to stay in the Middle East forever, but if we are forced to go back soon, how is this latest withdrawal going to look?
