It is about time. Bring our boys home and expaqnd our oil fields. Build nuke and begin developing our resources throughout the Americas & Canada.
Let’s watch Europe handle their own for a while.
If not for the West’s foolish dependency on Middle East energy we could simply walk waway from this mess. How long before a lot of these countries would be starving and crying out for help? Instead we are, for the time being, inescapably tied to some of them.
I'm jealous.
I would tend to agree with you. America is very sick right now, and needs to take time to repair and restore herself. We can’t do that if we are spread out all over the place. America needs intensive care right now.
The new Middle East the same as the old Middle East.
Full of muslims and hating the US.
WW3 began over 12 years ago. This is just moving it into a new level
Bring them home from Germany, Italy and Japan, and put them on the Mexican border. Especially after the assassination by the drug cartel of the American diplomat. 66 years is more then long enough
We should have gotten out of the way a long time ago. Now, we'll do it out of necessity, rather than choice.
Great question which answers itself. Time to let the middle east and Israel fend for themselves.

Why would that make any difference? Whoever ends up in charge would still need to sell the oil to make money. I have no doubt they will make sure the oil gets pumped, and the money keeps flowing in.
I agree with you. It’s time to focus back on taking care of our own.
Isn’t it ironic that we spend so much time and effort trying to fix countries that hate us?
Bingo.
Totally agree.
Every once in a while, Islam awakens from its Palaeolithic slumber and produces an age of reason and enlightenment - like under Haroun al-Rashid.
BUT, eventually, the shaggy horrid beasts inside it, spawned by that son of Satan, Mohammad, erupt out in another “funadmentalist” movement which drives it even further back into the Stone Age than before.
And THAT is what is happening now. Islam is reverting to its basic nature and they are and always will be our enemy unless they succeed in infecting us with their contagion - which is precisely why they have sent people here to the west.
“trying to fix countries that hate us”
A Middle East without America? I want an America without Middle Easterners. Period.
That means Muslims. You Lebanese Christians, calm down.
Islam is coked up with oil wealth. Take that away and they’d be harmless to the rest of the world.
No worries here. Our head Moo-la in D.C. is on track to muzzie us as well as Israel. He would love to see a Moo-la in charge here in the USA and one in Jerusalem. No worries. Muzzie governments coming around the world soon.
LOL
Well, you still have the addle brained political correct ignoramuses here in academia, the media and politics who think there is cultural equivalency between these savages and western civilization to deal with.
But you are right about the oil wealth. If we were self-sufficient they would have less leaverage, certainly less money with wihich to bribe American politicians and politician wannabes.
