[Revelation 911]

I think by this time we can all agree RP has blown whatever chance he had. I love the guys monetary conservatism - but on foreign policy and this, I'm left shaking my head.

The war was justified in my opinion and succeeded in bring the fight to their doorstep instead of ours.....proven by the fact we had not one attack after 9/11.

Now we may be at odds among ourselves at what our continued presence looks like - but I think we are all in agreement that a presence is required, lest the place go completely in the crapper and over run with jihadi's

Thoughts?

RP and friends are still stinging from the loss of Saddam and Sons.....and as a result Israel remains...and no Jewish kids are being blow up on their school buses and in nightclubs.

I think we are all in agreement that a presence is required

Agreed, but all through our history Americans have been willing to man up and go to war as long as we fight the war to win, and return to normalcy once it's won.

I don't see anything different this time. America will not fight a fifty or one hundred year war.
