We already won the war for regime change in Iraq. The Iraqis are in charge of their government. We SHOULD be phasing our withdrawal.

Flame me if you want, but that embassy they are building is going to cost 1.2 billion a year and who knows how many American lives. We have no intention of leaving. I have a problem with this.

Sure, we have to keep the screws down on Syria and Iran, but we have allies in the region, Jordan, the Saudis, Egypt, in whose interest it is to keep pressure on them too. Right now, every jihadi nut-job in on the continent is rushing over to take potshots at our fine service people. I don’t buy the “follow us home” baloney either. What are they, puppies?? If they come here, we find them and bury them, like the JKF plotters. Put our military at work on TRUE homeland security. There I said it.

I won’t flame you but I only agree that they should be brought home if our “fearless” leaders keep putting the politically correct attitude toward a problem that requires a complete forcible solution.

Homeland security starts OUTSIDE our borders, trying to stop those who might be planning to bring their bad selves to our borders.

Why do you want to fight the enemy over here instead of over there?
