“Of course no matter what Bush did, the MSM would have criticized him, but I am pretty confident that it would have been more than what the Obama Administration has done.”
I’m not defending Obama, but want to make sure that you recognize the huge effort the US military is making in Japan right now. We have 19 warships, 150 aircraft and 20,000 military personnel there, all in humanitarian support roles. Can we afford to do more?
I keep thinking of something Trump said recently: He was referring to our sending war ships to South Korea when North Korea was acting badly. He wondered why no one ever pays the US for our services. He had a great point as SK has a thriving economy. As our economy goes down the toilet who is going to bail us out? I understand helping Japan, but who ever helps the US?
