DEFENSE SECRETARY HAGEL ORDERS US MILITARY TO TRANSPORT BURUNDIAN TROOPS TO CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC AMID CONFLICT

[dragnet2]

So it’s in Americas best interest to spend 3 trillion dollars, looting the American treasure, while 3,000 Americans are blown away, and the pull out?

What did we win in that one Mr. Pappy??

[AppyPappy]

It sure beat cowardice when our enemies attack us.

[Iron Munro]

Obama knew Hagel was a weak sister, that’s why he wanted him as Sec. Defense

Care to answer the questions?

[atc23]

Ever wonder why it is the republicans themselves that ensure democrats keep winning elections? That is so odd.

Imagine if the reverse were true . . .

[dragnet2]

Under Bush, upwards of 20 million people entered our country illegally, during wartime yet...

What about protecting the American homeland Mr. Pappy?

We ignored Muslim terrorism too long.

No we didn't. In fact Bush allowed in more Muslims AFTER 911, than what was allowed in the two decades before.

[PghBaldy]

I guess since the world’s eyes will be on Afric this week, we are doing something.

[Sopater]

I don’t see how anyone has problems with this. If we can use our vast military logistics to support a country that appears to have a constitutionally elected government in what was perceived as a fair election. These are more muzzies killing Christians in this scenario.

Problem #1 with gov't is that they use our vast resources to do things that they have absolutely no business doing while America goes down the tank. Why not get our own house in order regarding the border and economy before we go around the world helping those less fortunate than ourselves? We're rapidly becoming "less fortunate than ourselves" on a daily basis.

Not odd at all, honestly. Just look at the typical primary: "My candidate is more conservative than yours!" "No, my candidate is more conservative than yours!" "No, my candidate is more conservative than yours!" "No, my candidate is more conservative than yours!" "No, my candidate is more conservative than yours!"

Meanwhile, the milquetoast walks right in.

Because, sadly, the latter is easier than the former.

[AppyPappy]

I answered it. You just didn’t like the answer. Make one up that you like.
Pretending the terrorists didn’t exist didn’t work. I’d rather kill 3T killing terrorists than 3T making Welfare babies. YMMV

French regular troops=surrender monkeys.

French Foreign Legion=Tough fighters! They will get the job done in Africa! My money would be on them!

[1rudeboy]

I’ll bet you used to read Soldier of Fortune.

[Nervous Tick]

Very cool pics.
Thx

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

MY COVER HAS BEEN BLOWN!

[lakecumberlandvet]

Before the House of Representatives was deemed irrelevant, We the People would get a say in the matter.

[pgyanke]

didn’t helping the french out of a bad situation get us into viet nam?

... under Democrat administrations...

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"yet you have no problem with sending our military into Africa to help protect and secure them?"

That's not what is happening. It's more of a civil war as I understand it. All parties involved are from the Central African Republic. And yes, I would like my country to secure our borders.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Why not get our own house in order regarding the border and economy before we go around the world helping those less fortunate than ourselves?"

I'd like to. Get rid of Obamacare, reform our entitlement programs. However, we can't go all Ron Paul and retreat within our borders. I'm not willing to expend any American lives in their civil war as it has no National Security interests for us. However, transporting some troops to help take care of a problem in their area of the world will only ingratiate countries to America and can only be good for us.

[Sequoyah101]

Another leap down the rat hole.

We’ll be on bottom and at war before you can count to ten, so to speak.
