I didn’t have a problem with Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Go in, kick butt, get out.

Going into Iraq in 2002, I thought from the get-go, was motivated by a desire to take care of daddy’s unfinished business. It was a mistake to stay there.

Going into Afghanistan, initially, was not a mistake. We should have gone in, killed a bunch of very bad people, made a nice pile of skulls as a warning to the rest, and then LEFT. NONE of them should have seen Gitmo; any useful information should have been “extracted” on the spot, and then shoot the bastards. Again, it was a mistake to stay.

The ONLY folks over there that ought to concern us are the Saudis and ONLY because they have another 200 years of petroleum left. And we need it.

The rest of them: LEAVE'EM ALONE.
