Amen!
Just to clarify my position, neither do I. Israel is totally capable of handling itself.
My deal is that as our friends and partners in the free world, we can do a lot to aid them without risking a single human life. And IMO we should.
Israel has been the scapegoat for America in that the Muzzies cannot as ‘easily’ strike us here as they can lob rickets and blow up busses in Israel. And they do. An excuse to be sure, but they do. And for us to stand by and do nothing, or worse prevent the Jews from defending themselves under threat of cut ties/support is the height of evil. And WE do (We meaning American Libs in power and the idiot Antisemites in the GOP that go along with it)
So much of the basis of our history is there. Which is another reason the left wants it gone.
Here, here!
Somehow we should avoid any and all intervention that does not have any clearly defined plans. How we keep getting dragged down this road we’re on is beyond me.
I agree. We do not need to attack Iran. Give Isreal the green light (which we haven’t done) and let them attack if they need to.
We don’t have the men, money, or morale to do it.
Totally agree—and I'll bet Israel would agree too. Talk about "Get some!"
Maybe. But neither Hagel nor Buchanan fall into that camp.
Israel has never asked for US boots on the ground. In fact the reverse is true. Israel prefers to be left to do it themselves without US troops or UN Peacekeepers in the way.
Buchanan would have some credibility if he stuck to your point. But instead he makes it clear he wants to force Israel to do US bidding, and his version of US bidding favors the terrorists not Israel. Now if he took a position on forcing any of our other allies into doing US bidding, he would also gain some credibility. But alas he singles out only Israel as a recalcitrant ally acting against US interests.
