No smart warrior or negotiator publicly rules out anything.
Yes, when we get a real American pres back in the WH, he will have a major task cleaning up after Obama and his ilk.
He will now be labeled a war monger.
awaiting wailing&teeth-gnashing from the peanut gallery
Maybe we could just bomb our enemies with cheese and beer.. and electric cars.
This entire cycle is going to be another endless series of ‘gotcha’ headlines like this. No candidate should rule out anything militarily because it ends in a weak hand. The purpose of having a strong military is to use the threat of force to get your way without using it. We could call it Reagan 101. The Obama era is a reflection of the dumbed down American people who don’t get that weakness leads to more problems than strength. That signaling pulpit dates simply embolden the enemy and lead to bigger problems in the aftermath.
This headline is supposed to scare idiot voters that republicans are just warmongers and only democrats bring ‘peace’. It doesn’t matter the substance of Walker’s response. Only the resulting scary headline.
I’m not sure an invasion is the way to go. When I hear the “experts” saying we need to reintegrate the sunnis into the Iraqi political process I just know they don’t get it.
Iraq is irreparably broken. I don’t know what the solution is but trying to glue it together with more American blood isn’t it.
Title says it all.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Oshkosh won’t argue.
Hey Vet, I posted a similar thread above, and asked the mod to take it down.
Good God.
SMH.
You don't back yourself into a corner - in any direction. Anyone with a brain realizes that. Walker did.
Well, if there was another American invasion of Iraq, at least the drive-bys have Brian Williams to emulate.
Walker gives me a G.W. Bush feeling.
IF, and I emphasize “IF” we go back, it better be with the concept of Total War in mind. Go In, kill everything that fights, destroy everything that could assist them and leave.
We do not need the Bush/Obama method of soldiers denied ammo and lawyers designating and approving targets so as not to offend locals. If whatever Non Dem president wants to go back, he better damn well tell the Dems to STFU early, in public and often. Then ignore them and the media completely until we win and return home.
Or just stay home.
Ambush Question.
Lets see ABC ask Hillary or Bloomberg the same question.
“Catastrophic Failure” by Stephen Coughlin is MUST reading for any Prez hopeful.
If you refuse to properly identify your enemy and acknowledge the motives of your enemy, you will fail.
"Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker Wouldn't Rule Out That He Will Stop Beating His Wife"
Doesn't that send a horrible message, particularly to foes in the Middle East, that all they have to do is wait us out?

Someone is actually TALKING like a leader.
At this point I see only TWO Conservatives on the stage.
Cruz and Walker.
Really? I think we have poured out enough blood over their. Lives, limbs.. enough. No one is willing to finish the job, it will be a repeat of what we have just seen, twice. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me a third time and I deserve it. No more US troops in the ME, not one. Let the UN figure it out.
