“Put the adults back in charge”
What do you mean?
Our foreign policy adventures for many decades now have been a total disaster and looted the American treasure.
Are you suggesting we re-invade and occupy Iraq for another decade, maybe two?
Are you prepared to deal with the terror base launch pad that will emerge?
Prior to the Obama administration, the general consensus was exactly that. Unless we made the commitment to cccupy Iraq, we were looking at large scale terror bases and weapons of mass destruction being developed and possibly being used.
All that Obama has done was create a vacuum that another Sadaam wannabe is occupying. Already Iraq is sending in their commandos, laying the ground work to expand their operations inside Iraq also.
As I have argued before, upon deaf ears here at FR, is that when the US unilaterally disarms and we leave our enemies to arm and build it leads to wider war. We were in West Germany for how long?
That is my thinking. Now that we have pulled out and we are not going to return, it is a waste of bandwith to argue over whether we return. We aren't and our enemies are preparing for wider war.
