“Article 2A directly contradicts “freedom of religion”.”
The other safeguards contradict your interpretation. Iraq is a ally of the U.S. and a foe of Al Qaeda. Our success there is directly related to the national security of the U.S.(for some reason you are unwilling to accept this reality). The article you cited is another inane reason given by the isolationist crowd for withdrawl and abandoning our allies to al Qaeda and Iran. Your hopes that we fail in Iraq (assuming that is your mindset) have been crushed by the Sunni Awakening. Even the Sunni Iraqis have joined us against Al Qaeda.
“Much the same as McCain. Nothing. What about Saudi Arabia?”
Saudi Arabia? Are their any candidates that favor sanctions and/or military action against Saudi Arabia?
What will be followed by the Muslims in government? Same thing they’ve always followed. ISLAM.
“Iraq is a ally of the U.S. and a foe of Al Qaeda.”
There is no such thing as an actual “Muslim ally”.
“our hopes that we fail in Iraq (assuming that is your mindset) have been crushed by the Sunni Awakening. “
The Sunnis are also the enemies of the West. 9/11 wasn’t exactly a Shi’ite operations.
“Saudi Arabia? Are their any candidates that favor sanctions and/or military action against Saudi Arabia?”
No and that’s why we will lose this war.
