According to your logic, we should give the Southwest back to Mexico, return Hawaii to the natives, return Puerto Rico to Spain, and then send all white people back to Europe and all blacks to Africa.

What I find dishonorable is invading a country and getting nothing in return except a bill for a trillion and half and bunch of dead Americans.

I was hoping there may be a loophole to send away the democrats though

Bush was president for 5.5 years after we invaded it. He never plundered it.

You call it stealing. I call it pay back for ridding them of Saddam Hussein.

Does anyone else notice Trump is conforming to the left’s parody of what conservatives are.

No. He's conforming to what I would do. Where do you get the ridiculous notion that what he is saying would be a dictatorship?

So we give up on our beliefs like that?

What beliefs are you speaking of?

Next time you get robbed or mugged, just remember, the person needed the money.

False analogy. The correct analogy would be; the next time you get robbed or mugged, and you catch the robber/mugger you take him to court and get compensation for your damages and expenses that he caused.

Did I wake up in the twilight zone?

If you ever wake up your delusions will all go away. By definition.

Anyone can say what they think should be done, candidates say it all the time. No one ever says how it will get done.

Just change what is considered honorable, no problem...When you’re talking about our country, does the end justify the means?

Cool. A pro-United Nations (according to http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2704453/posts?page=75#75) Trump wants Iraq’s oil. Nothing can go wrong there.

Why not take Iraq’s oil? Because we’re Americans, and we don’t steal what belongs to someone else.

We’re better than that.

This nation is exceptional and we can prove it again just as we have in the past. But stealing? Thievery is not our way.

We’re known for blazing new paths, leading the way into the future.

For example: one average-sized near earth asteroid rich in platinum group metal is equal to the annual gross product of the entire world. That’s more than enough to pay off our national debts.

Creating the third industrial revolution, mining and manufacturing in space, is something we can do.

We have the technology to do this. But it will never happen with a President, like Obama, who doesn’t understand capitalism.

Damn! There must be a way to get this idea to Trump.

We should be the only country that is allowed to sell Iraqi oil.

Why did so many of our troops die so that Iraq could hire China to sell its oil?

We spent all that money and sacrificed so much in Iraq, so many lost lives and wounded warriors and we don’t get anything back to compensate for our efforts?

"Does anyone else notice Trump is conforming to the left’s parody of what conservatives are. Are we know going to agree that everything the left said about conservatives is true? What’s next, Trump is going to say mandatory inbreeding and no education beyond the third grade? And conservatives are going to cheer?

Yay! Go Trump!

Does that answer your question?

We should charge them 2 billion per U.S. casualty. One billion to the soldiers family and one billion to the taxpayers. Those Moolies owe us trillions.

Do we steal the oil, NO. But the honorable thing for them to do would have been to allow US companies to explore, drill and operate. They would recieve royalties just like mineral owners in the US.
