I would have had a lot more sympathy for this argument ten years ago. Now, I look at what we have achieved, or failed to achieve, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and wonder whether it was worth all our dead boys.
Three years after we leave, things will be back to the way they were, if not worse. Shouldn’t we have just bombed the crap out of Afghanistan, or fought a limited Special Forces action, and left Saddam Hussein alone? It seems more so to me with each day that passes.
All that rhetoric from W about Muslims wanting American-style freedom was in vain. They want nothing of the sort. They want the whip of the State on their backs. Let them fester in poverty and ignorance for another ten thousand years; they are unworthy of a single drop of American blood to lift them out of their medieval squalor.
On most domestic issues the Pauls are ok. On financial issues they are very good. But when it comes to outside our borders... well let’s just say that their views make El-Presidente’s look good.
Seeing as that is exactly how the federal government intends to strip Americans of their rights, I'll stand with Rand on that one.
I'd take Rand Paul's foreign policy over the incredibly destructive and wasteful foreign policy that the neocons and NR wanted and gave this nation over the last decade.
Nope, not buying it. America is due for some isolationism. We will help protec Israel is asked, and the rest of the world is on its own. Too many American lives have been lost just to watch politicians give away the sacrifice they made.
The RINO Establishment begins laying the groundwork for the Jeb Coronation....
Did he also hint that Pope Francis is Catholic or that bears crap in the woods?
So what's the problem? According to all the evidence I've seen, Halliburton did in fact do shoddy work that did in fact result in soldiers getting electrocuted in the shower... and avoided being held to account thanks to its connections to the RINO Establishment that is now crapping itself in fear of Rand Paul gaining traction.
Paul is right. His opponents have been warmongers. That’s their owly thing ‘on the table’.
