Well that is fair comment. But I think the real movtivation for these Paleos, whom I oppose on almost everything, is not overextension, but the ends of the policy. I think it is a desire to housebreak Israel, and that desire trumps all other considerations. Some of these folks were once militant hawks (with nary a word about "overextension," when the ends were different. And of course, America is not overextended. That is a lie, a flat out lie. A monopoly on high tech warfare, with relatively few personnel, and the end of the need to have troops in Europe, except as support bases for elsewhere, is at an end.
It is plain truth, not a lie.
