Obama has sent MORE troops to Afghanistan than Bush. If you have evidence to the contrary, please provide it. Perhaps the word insane better applied to someone who supports Obama’s policy of escalation. BTW, where do you intend to get the money for your “full-measure” war. We’re broke and can’t continue to police the world.
It appears there are lots of Klingons in this debate; I’ll offer you some support. How many thousands of terrorists have we killed since 9-11. I am sure we can claim a revenge of sorts at the very least. No we didnt get OBL but let the CIA do that. We did defend ourselves after 9-11; even Reagan pulled troops from Lebanon after the 200+ dead when he saw it just was no longer worth it. The Afghan war may become another government program run amok. I think the USA has made its point: attack us and we will blow you out of the water. We did kill thousands and bomb them right? We just didnt wring our hands and beg the UN to help, did we? We did defend ourselves honorably and to Vietnamize this war would not be a wrong move. Yes, Captain, we don’t have the money. Short of dropping a few nuclear bombs on the place, I don’t see how we win this war. Oh, send 500k men, announce victory and 5 years later it’s a stew of Islamic fascism.
Too many conservatives will do nothing but have war, just like Libturds throw billions after poverty blah blah. There are practical realities which at some point trump theoretical considerations. Like, the real threat to this country is not Islam, but the National Socialism of the democratic party.
1. Tighten security in the USA; build the wall along the mexican border
2. No more visas for Muslims; send those we have home early now (but who will be the our doctors when socialized medicine starts)
