Disengage no.
Be a little choosier about how and where we engage, yes.

Public support was overwhelming when we engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan. The American public needs to develop a stronger stomach and a more realistic sense of what we are getting into and what it will take to prevail.

You’re right of course.

How many al Qaeda and Taliban will no longer be coming to our shores because we eliminated them on their own soil?

09/11 took place on our soil. All the fighting since took place somewhere else. And yet..., some folks can’t grasp which is better.

Oh it cost us too much. How much did 09/11 cost us? How much is welfare costing us?

We’ve got some pretty F’d up priorities even here...
