I ask Governor Perry: How many Americans should send their sons or daughters to die for a foreign country — a nation the Iraqis won’t defend for themselves?

Here is the Ron/Rand Paul problem in one sound bite. He (and Obama, for that matter) does not understand that American troops in Iraq are not there to "fight for the Iraqis" -- they are there to fight for US. The concept of forward defense is alien to this strategic nitwit.

Rand Paul should be kept far from the levers of power (as should Obama, for that matter).

The US fights in Iraq for the Saudis.

I do not understand the libertarian mindset that a country has no interests to defend outside its borders.
