I think going into Iraq was the right thing.

That being said, I think a CINC who cannot grasp the concept of defending one’s own borders is unfit to lead our troops into battle elsewhere.

This is not a slam at the troops in any way shape or form, they are doing the best they can at a job they are neither designed or equipped to handle.

I’ve got a big problem with our so-called “allies” sitting back while we, the Brits, Aussies and a few other brave countries take casualties.

In short, I think the whole foreign relations problem needs a major reset.

FWIW.

You're right, and if Bush would have controlled the borders in Iraq we would not be in the situation we are in there either. Bush's borderphobia has screwed up this Country and Iraq.

I think we—most of us —agree.

If we had controlled the Iranianborders to begin with we would have had less trouble in Iraq. If we dont control our own borders that trouble is coming here.
