That certainly isn't Trump's fault because he never would have left and allowed the Taliban to waltz right and takeover.
The Paultards are as insane as the neo-cons. Isolationism was Clinton's foreign policy.
Only time will tell. If they had learned their lesson, they would be like Kin's North Korea. All bark no bite. But if something happens, the next American President is going to have to take care of the problem.
Huh? Have you forgotten Clinton's Balkan War?
Or his Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, who said (I paraphrase), "What's the point of having the world's largest military if you never use it?"
trump was very clear....you break this agreement and you won’t know what hit you. joe said....not my problem.
No kidding. Neocons being wrong doesn't make Paleocons right. Their foreign policy ideas are both delusional, for opposite reasons. It's like how Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan were both lousy James Bond's, for OPPOSITE reasons.
Likewise, there's a decent middle ground between the "Israel is always right 100% of the time cuz the Bible says so!" and the "Zionists control the world, Free Palestine from the Jewish occupiation!" crowd.
Hate the break the news to FReepers who now parrot the words from Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan during the Bush era, but the leftists who snarkily predicted that Saddam would 'use his WMDs on us', we'd never get Saddam or take out Bin Laden, there was no way we could establish democratic elections in Iraq, and the surge strategy 'would never work' and we'd be stuck in a "Quadmire" forever in Iraq....
...ended up ACTUALLY on the "WRONG side of history", as they liked to accuse us of being at the time.
Maybe instead of imposing unpopular governments on foreigners, we should deal with whoever is in power? We tell the Taliban, Afghanistan is yours. We've no objection. But if you strike us, we'll strike you tenfold.
That's how Reagan dealt with Libya. He didn't try to depose Gaddafi. He merely sent an airstrike against Libya in 1986, in retaliation for a West Berlin disco terrorist bombing. After that, Gaddafi quieted down.
Reagan didn't try to invade Libya and start a nation building project.
That’s one of the craziest things I’ve read on Free Republic. Clinton was an isolationist? He started more wars than any other president in U.S. history. He would start a war or bomb a factory just to get out of a press conference.
