And I apply that term @ssholes very broadly ... to Democrats and Republicans alike.
It's no more fun seeing friends and loved ones killed or militated in terrorist attacks.
The issue should be whether military action is necessary or not. If it to protect one's citizens, anyone should be for it.
Dumb, dumb, dumb...Muslim terrorists or states don't need a reason to retaliate or strike without provocation. That true going back to the Crusades.
Islam is religion of conquest. The radical believe Islam should rule the world and infidels standing their way must be destroyed or subjugated.
Ignore the problem isn't going to make it go away. Bill Clinton tried that.
The Paultards here are setting up Trump and Republicans for the same kind of failure Bush set Republicans up for -- enacting of bad, liberal ideas.
With Bush it was compassionate conservatism. With the Paultards, it's pot legalization, going soft on crime and isolationism.
Let’s try it this way.
How many American lives and how much American treasure are you willing to spend for those people?
Islam is a religion of peace. ... said nobody with an IQ over 40, ever.
It was peaceful on 9/10/2001
Agreed. I'm tired of our kids dying for the interests of foreign powers.
I'd prefer we stay out of Middle East conflicts, AND expel all Muslim "refugees" and disallow Muslim immigration.
i am not certain rand paul would commit to defense of the hudson river
Why are we in Afghanistan? Is this guy an idiot? Does anybody know why we went into Afghanistan? Anybody? Everybody knows why we went into Afghanistan.
Sen. Paul didnt ask why we went into Afghanistan, Mark. He asked why we are still there EIGHTEEN F#&%ING YEARS LATER.
Which is another straw man isolationists use. No one is discussing go to war with Iran. Bombing is not the same as a full-fledged war.
But, it will be absolutely necessary to do so if Iran gets nuclear weapons or kills Americans.
Unless your kid volunteers for our volunteer army.
From pot legalization to police bashing to isolationism, it's gotten out of control and doesn't represent the majority of conservatives in the country.
Rand Paul would get his ass kicked again if there was an open primary this election season.
Iran can figure out -- driving up gas prices causes a US and/or global recession that results in a Trump loss:

An editorial in the official Iranian Fars News today tacitly admits the goal of the Saudi attack this past weekend was to bring down Donald Trumps 2020 Presidency.
And what would Levin have us do? Go to war? I'm sure he'll be first in line at the recruiting station.
Another dinosaur totally comfortable with the Bush/Clinton way of thinking. Get bent, Levin.
Incorrect. We didn't accomplish our war objectives in Afghanistan until we killed Bin Laden.
That being said, we're not fighting a war there anymore and have been since Bin Laden died. We're using Afghanistan as a base of operation to combat Islamic terrorism that threats national security.
And, should remain in Afghanistan just like we've remained in Germany for 70 years after WWII.
Paranoid much? Conspiracy theories destroy rational thought.
Iran news outlets are bragging about the attack.

They have a point. If we strike Iran, Trump is gone.
Hate it all you like but some wars and military operations are absolutely necessary.
Terrorist acts like 9/11 and their aftermath are no better than deaths during wars.
The war in Afghanistan was absolutely necessary in order to bring those responsible for 9/11 to justice and to prevent more 9/11s.
War sucks but without we wouldn't remain a free, sovereign nation.
