Bullshit. A top priority of the 9/11 Commission was to "immediately" implement a strict Entry/Exit Visa system, and background checks. Neither George W. Bush nor Obama did one damn thing to implement one. The San Bernardino jihadist went through such a massive crack. 15 dead.
They also called for tight integration of intelligence. The FBI, DOD and DHS either failed or willfully ignored intel warnings about the terrorists who carried out Ft. Hood (Al-Awlaki), Boston Marathon (Russia, Israel warnings) and Orlando (Al-Awlaki link, FL Sheriff warning to FBI, Disney warning to FBI).
What the hell are 2,000 troops in Syria or thousands more in Afghanistan going to do to prevent such attacks in the future?
We need a base of operation when the next terrorist group rises up and starts threating this country and Americans.
You and liberaltarians like Paul are as clueless as Barry was. Ignoring Islamic terrorist isn't going to result in Islamic terrorist leaving us alone. It's a stupid premise.
It's absolutely American First to keep some troops and a base of operation to combat an Islamic terrorist threat that will arise.
You're advocating the Obama foreign policy which gave us ISIS. Trump ran on protecting this nation from Islamic terrorist and peace through strength.
Well stated. The “success” stories speak for themselves.
