The 'Hotel California' doctrine of US military intervention: It's a good idea to be able to do more than just check out after decades of war

Only good think Joe dementia has done is getting out of Afghanistan, Bush and his cronies wanted endless conflicts, we accomplished everything needed in the first 6 months then we should have left, still makes me angry all the American blood spilled in Bush’s wars

Ever wonder why Obama didn’t get us out of Afghanistan even though in his 2008 campaign he said he would.

Anyone remember Nancy walking out of the White House over the poor Kurds and that there would be genocide of the Kurds if we left the region?

Hmmm.

Someone please give me evidence of good decisions Democrats have made on foreign policy. Carter and Iran leadership? Carter and failed mission into Iran? Carter and U.S. embassy people held hostage? Carter and Camp David accords? Clinton and attacking aspirin factory to “wag the dog” over Monica affair? Clinton and Somalia? Clinton and Israel-Palestinian peace accords? Clinton and USS Cole in Yemen? Obama? Can anyone name one foreign policy initiative? He called off attacking Osama three times, and on the day of mission, SEALS were enroute when he got wind of it, and it was too late to scrap the mission. Obama and Ukraine (all of it not just firing of prosecutor)? Obama and North Korea? Obama and South China Sea? Obama and ISIL (forbade the term ISIS, used before and after his administration)? Obama and Lybia (Khadafi removal and Benghazi) Obama with useless SECSTATE Hillary? Hillary and Obama actually created ISIS. Obama and the “Arab Spring?”

Go rock star and totally trash the place as you leave.

It’s their 3d-world craphole. We can’t (and shouldn’t) care about more than they do.
