Michael Blanford21 minutes ago I think people like Dick Cheney have their own private interests in trying to control the world, lets but out of their business since it is their country.
jim caputo2 hours ago Why don't we leave well enough alone. let the arabs handle the mess in their back yard. We can't police the world. Iraq has cost us too much already and we can't stop sticking our nose in this civil war. Too many lives (American) have been lost and casualties are numerous. It's a lost cause.
Reply nedhenry1959 minutes ago Well said. Why are we spending a fortune and our young men's lives to police an area that can't stop killing their own people?
lol.... funny stuff man... dam dude... “I think we went into Iraq for very good reasons. I think when we left office, we had a situation in Iraq that was very positive… What happened was that Barack Obama came to office, and instead of negotiating a stay behind agreement, he basically walked away from it.”
All True.
Instead of walking away Obama should have kept it up... but he caved and threw it all away. Obama left Iraq leaving the door wide the freak open for disaster.
The only thing I didn't predict/fear about the current events in Iraq was the name of the army and that it would be supported with weapons given by Obama.
I did bitch about Obama giving weapons to AQ in Syria after the NYT reported Benghazi was a gun running operation.
The Bush administration left a relatively stable Iraq and Afghan front in the war on dar el harb. They screwed up by allowing religious freedom to be subverted in the governments in both.
Obama did the Democrat Party action of Vietnam. Deliberately let an ally be invaded and destroyed.
Watch him let them die in Ukraine.
Like in Egypt. Syria. Libya. Mexico. United States.
The democrat controlled congress cut off the money. Presidents can't sign bills that don't hit their desks. And the executive branch had not yet mastered the 'rule by executive order and federal agency regulation' trick that obama has mastered.
Muslim country ruled my Muslims. Vietnam ruled by Vietnamese. What's the world coming too. America can't rule itself. Why don't you butt the F out and look after your own pathetic miserable country ?
Not according to the communist leaders themselves. According to them, we gifted them the country on two counts, ceasing all out war against them, and then again later by completely abandoning our allies in S. Vietnam. But according to you, Vietnamese fighting against totalitarianism/communism don't count as people of Vietnam.
I know victims of our withdrawal who were fortunate enough to make it to America. They say that they'll never vote for a Democrat. The memories of their murdered family and friends remains far too strong.
Despise America for abandoning allies and I'm right there with you. It is sickening, literally physically sickening.
But don't delude yourself into thinking that a world absent America would be a better, safer, less dangerous, more free place.
You'd rather have us withdraw everywhere with the vacuum filled by the USSR or China or the Islamist-fascists?
My Cambodian neighbors back in Long Beach, two elders of the family which made it here in a shipping container with 40 other people and 6 who died on the way, will tell you how staunchly conservative they are, and why.
No Fred brought by liberal fools and self hating freaks. Run off and look in the mirror. Rosenbergs Gulf of Tonkin LBJ Advisors JFK Jane Fonda on aa gun what do these people have in common Demoncracy!
If we get lucky we can get that type of fool out of our gov if not the next revolution will be more like the French Revolution! Socialist Progressive Communists are big on killing the people they call enemies. Bill Ayers your political mentor wanted to kill 25% of the American population in order to save the country. In the last 200 years most people were killed by their own Governments Wars never even came close. Which is why we watch ours and YOU! closely.
Oh and Alfau when the Chinese come knocking don't bother calling I can use a Chinese Dive shop as well as My present vendor!
It was only a conspiracy until the KGB opened their books after the USSR collapsed. You appear to be a willfully ignorant fellow traveler, and useful idiot.
Even your buddy Rand Paul must be a useful idiot. There seem to be a bunch of conservatives that are against foreign intervention or haven't you been keeping up with current events.
Obama's political career started in this man's living room. Barry denied the relationship, just a neighbor... Ayers babysat Obama's children, Obama serves with him on a board giving away other people's money, and Obama idealized the Revolutionary Anarcho-Communist Murderer.
Now he has written a book, ''Fugitive Days'' (Beacon Press, September). Mr. Ayers, who is 56, calls it a memoir, somewhat coyly perhaps, since he also says some of it is fiction. He writes that he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972. But Mr. Ayers also seems to want to have it both ways, taking responsibility for daring acts in his youth, then deflecting it.
''Is this, then, the truth?,'' he writes. ''Not exactly. Although it feels entirely honest to me.''
But why would someone want to read a memoir parts of which are admittedly not true? Mr. Ayers was asked.
''Obviously, the point is it's a reflection on memory,'' he answered. ''It's true as I remember it.''
When your life is based on lies, having deliberate problems remembering the truth is common. Right FF?
Hey, when your only regret in life is you didn't kill enough pigs, ( that's a quote ) honesty is optional, I suppose.
There seem to be a bunch of conservatives that are against foreign intervention or haven't you been keeping up with current events.
John Quincy Adams on American Policy:
Whenever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She the champion and vindicator only of her own.
She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom.
And we took to them, and they took to us; and what do you think they took? What do you think they took? "Oil from Canada, gold from Mexico, geese from the neighbor's backyard - boom boom. Corn from the Indians, tobacco from the Indians, Dakota from the Indians, New Jersey from the Indians, New Hampshire from the Indians, New England from the Indians, New Delhi from the Indians" - Indonesia for the Indonesians! Ah Yes, Veteran's Day.
"When your life is based on lies, having deliberate problems remembering the truth is common. Right FF?"
Every movement has it's extreme elements. To claim the Weathermen led the peace movement is the same as saying the Aryan Nation is leading the anti-immigration movement or is it?
