Northern Iraq? I thought we went to war, and spent 5 trillion dollars, to “liberate” Iraq? Now we have to send 300000 troops back in to do another “liberation”?

It's nuts to protect the borders of foreign countries when are own borders are not protected. NOT one drop of American blood AND not one thin dime for the potentates of the Middle East - this is NOT OUR PROBLEM.

And if the Brits send us more ambassadors like Sir Kim Darroch - the Brits can protect their own damn oil tankers. Enough with the ingrates, the indefensibly violent cultures and lost causes that never should have been attempted in the first place. NOT ONE DROP OF AMERICAN BLOOD NOT ONE DIME OF OUR TREASURE. EFF 'EM.

Our borders are protected. The problem is catch and release. If we imprisoned border crossers for 10 years in the Aleutians after arrival, it’s a good bet they’d stop coming. Our problem is detention policy, not the border. We are letting people we catch into the interior because of court orders when we should be imposing punishments. They don’t have to be severe like the flogging imposed by Singapore. But 10 years on one of the uninhabited islets of Alaska? We’d see a dramatic reduction in illegal border crossing.
