Why, then, after eight years, are we still there? And why was our southern border left open all during the Bush years and why is it yet open to this day? No, it was never REALLY about our security, it was and is about reshaping the mid east to OUR liking, something that won’t happen in a MILLION years, let alone our lifetimes. Get our folks home NOW, so we can prepare for what we have to do HERE.
It is NOT a conservative value to have our young people all over the world as they are now. It never has been.
Sorry, but you are not the sole owner of the term “conservative.”
I agree on borders not being sealed, but no one has effectively gotten any sealing other than Duncan Hunter, who no one wanted to support in 2008.
As for fighting terrorists, we ignored and poo pooed them for three decades while they continued attacking us and got September 11, 2001 in return.
And, it isn’t “reshaping the middle east to our liking,” but giving them the chance and security to esxcape the oppressive arm of the Jihadists and choose a free path for themselves.
Funny thing is, you Pauliacs keep crying about not having any of our people where they currently are by agreement with those countries, yet everytime such a policy has been followed, we end up attacked.
Anybody with an ounce of brains knows that should you succeed and pull everybody back, not only are weleaving our flanks unguarded, the left will begin dismantling our Military, as they did after WW1 and after we saw through the Clinton years.
How will that “prepare for what we have to do HERE.”
Oh yes, your shouting neither impresses me nor intimidates me. Sometimes, I wonder what some of you learned in the Military.
