The participation in FR is impressive. Thanks Jim for the opportunity and thanks everyone for the discussion. I’ll try to get a few questions answered, time permitting, later in the day. Thanks for taking a look at the book. It can be secured at victoryiniraqbook.com or Amazon God Bless...Duncan

Union Bosses with unreasonable demands, stifling regulation and over-taxing have made the “let’s go to China” decision easier for some businesses. However, many non-union producers have left also. The difference in wages of l0 to one , along with the 34% VAT tax discrepancy, and China’s “undervaluation of currency” strategy are the big drivers.

Many thanks, happy new year, Right now I’m just trying to help(when asked) that young Marine who came back from Afghanistan and won a seat in Congress. On the humour side, when he was named one of “Washington’s Best looking People”I’m told the Post used my picture. Life is great.

Great to hear from you. Thanks for all the support in races past. Now we can both help another Duncan Hunter

Republicans can, in the least, block the second piece of the Obama journey toward socialism. In defense areas, Republicans should shape the budget to assert missile defense, space and undersea supremacy and some of the things I talked about during the previous questions.This “shaping” might violate someone’s concept of “no earmarks”, since the strict definition of earmarks is anything not contained in the President’s (in this case, Obama”s} budget. Leaving the defense field to Obama’s team is a major mistake, the hue and cry against “earmarks” notwithstanding

Eliminate the use of China’s l7% VAT tax which allows it it subsidize its corporations and penalize American exporters to China. Eliminate the federal tax on U.S. manufacturers. Install tariffs on Chinese exports which “mirror’ their
tariff and non-tariff barriers

repeal the repeal of DADT, missile defense, the capability to defeat adversarial satellite systems and preserve our own, renewing the nuclear arsenal, expanding our ability to strike deeply, from the air and undersea. Halting technology transfer to China.

As you know, when I got out of the race in 2008, I supported Huckabee in the remaining field. With respect to the new cycle, I have always hoped a conservative military leader would emerge from the theatres in Iraq/Afghanistan

You’re talking to the wrong Duncan Hunter. I can’t even “defund” Mrs. Hunter

Yes, if they can see lightning and hear thunder

Yes, JD Alford executed Iron Fist and Steel Curtain in the Al Qaeda-held border towns in Anbar Province in the fall of 2005. The chapter on how Alford tamed the “Wild West”in the book was a result of lengthy interviews with Alford. He took territory from AQ and didn’t give back an inch, following his battle-line with a bulldozer which he used to throw up “forts” from which he ran military patrols and medical, political and humanitarian operations that JD called “armed social work” The upshot was that JD Alford painted a counter-insurgency masterpiece in the Iraq desert. Note: operations in other parts of Iraq were given the same names

The law that I authored in 2006, mandating 854 miles of double border fence across the smuggling corridors of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas has not been complied with in that only about 700 miles of “some type” of barriers( in some cases, simple vehicle barriers that pedestrians can step over} have been built.

We can achieve the mission in Afghanistan if we refrain from trying to turn the country into Iowa, and go for the doable. Keeping the Taliban from reaching critical mass, that is the ability to take out the Afghan government or seriously threaten the U.S., can be achieved by dropping a surveillance “curtain” over theAfghan-Pakistan border, and connecting it to an aerial strike capability that can destroy Taliban forays out of their refuges in the mountain ranges of Pakistan. Beyond that the “nation-building” work is worthwhile if kept below a grandiose scale and undertaken with real participation from the 30 plus nato and non-nato “partners. In the war-fight, the U.S. is taking the vast majority of the casualties. NATO is spending more on catering than they are on the war.

I know at least one Republican who will fight for spending cuts of at least that magnitude...his name is Duncan D. Hunter...Seriously, the Republicans have gotten the message on budget cuts. The problem they haven’t addressed is the massive exodus of the U.S. industrial base to China.

Thanks, Jim, and speaking of nukes it appears that the trademark of the Obama administration will be the emergence of Iran and North Korea as members of the nuclear group with some capability to deliver the payloads per their ongoing missile programs

Thank for the great support in the campaign...hopefully, the compelling challenges of the new security environment, the transfer of our industrial base to China, and the liberal attacks on America’s military ethic will draw out a new leader

Good to talk to you again
