Full context.
It's very important that we understand that the Taliban and Al-qaida does not present a existential threat to the United States. They don't have an industrial base. They don't have armies. They're terrorists.
Yep! That's the situation as of pre-9/11 -- and look what happened. And also, look at what President George Bush did -- and got us right in there, in Afghanistan -- the right move, too -- I might add.
It's just as true and valid for today as it was for President George Bush and 9/11...
I knew that the public was "going wanky" over 9/11 -- but I didn't think it was happening with anyone on Free Republic... but I can see it is ... hoo-boy!
It's no wonder that Sarah Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina, instead of Chuck DeVore ...
Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but is he proposing we quit Afghanistan? Or do we quit nation-building in Afghanistan?
We want to be an existential threat to them, right? Our goal is to see they cease to exist, correct?
They share the same view of us we do (or should) of them...so why does DeVore hedge the issue? Technically, they alone probably do not threaten our existence as a country. Radical Islam could. Certainly does in Europe where the demographics are ominous. They certainly threatened and have ended the existence of thousands of Americans. Enough playing patty-cake. DeVore should have been more firm.
Don’t you mean Campbell still has not singed the pledge?
BINGO!
Provided we do not permit Muslim immigration, Islam is NOT NOT NOT our nation's most serious threat!!!
Home grown MARXISM is our nation's **most** serious threat!!! Government K-12 schools are the Marxists' most powerful weapon against us!
That doesn't make sense. You might be missing a rather important word there.
That usually works better than psychoanylizing them while they run you through.
the threats to this country are many. the threat of annihilation, either by nuclear destruction or political fiat, are the fears of Americans.
anyone pushing to fundamentally change the country is pushing to annihilate the nation as it is now. no? please explain how this is not the case
Very disappointing response from DeVore.
A few suitcase nukes is a greater threat than an army and an industrial base.
DeVore sounds like Ron Paul.
Do you have a transcript?
When he was talking about pulling out afghanistan he also said this “We have to prepare for the next enemy, it’s not in Afghanistan, it’s the People’s Republic of China,”
