Never underestimate our fighting force or the ability or resolve they have to kill our enemies.

Our young men love killing the deserving in the defense of their brothers, families and country like no other group in existence and have since the first time an American went to war or we wouldn’t exist as a nation.

Iran is not our problem.
Iraq was not our problem.
Afghanistan was only our problem in term of killing as many Al Qaeda and Taliban as possible for a few months
and of course capturing killing Bin Laden.
Syria and Libya were also not our problem.

But they don't control the majority of it. Not even close.

Only 20% of world oil supply goes through the Hormuz Strait:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Hormuz

The Persian Gulf is the problem of whoever/whatever country gets oil out of that Gulf and through that strait.
And we get very little of it.
We are oil independent now.

As I have said before, the countries that get oil out of there should all pay the U.S. Navy for their pro rata percentage share
of OUR cost to have our navy there. At a minimum.

We need to think smarter and stop letting Muslim countries suck us into their Muslim garbage.

Since we left it has become a terrorist training camp.
Iran will be our problem if Israel decides to attack them.
Afghanistan was already a terrorist training camp and we had to fix that too.

I wonder whose drone footage that is


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

None of those were our problem.

I know from your postings that you served in Iraq and I respect that service.
And what the U.S. military did there was outstanding.
And meritorious. And I agree with Sec. Def Bob Gates farewell speech at West Point on the incredible job that the American
servicemen and women did in Iraq.

BUT, we should have never been there. Their dictator was not our problem.
The whole effort and expenditure of blood, money and treasure was complete waste.
Those people there hate our guts.
We handed the whole country over to Iranian influence by taking out Hussein.
And we wasted $2 TRILLION that had to be borrowed and added to the national debt.
And many of our military were killed and severely wounded.
For what? So some other Muslim power that hates us can take over?

In all seriousness, I don't think that there is any historian or foreign policy strategic thinker in the world who is of the opinion
that the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 was a good decision. It is universally considered not just a huge foreign policy mistake
but also probably the biggest foreign policy mistake in American history. It ruined the Bush II presidency. It was a total tar baby.

Which is a shame because so many great American men and women such as yourself honorably and bravely served there.


Afghanistan - should have only been a 9 to 12 month punitive war then full withdrawal.
No nation building.
We have wasted $2 TRILLION on those pagan barbarian savages, many thousands killed and wounded - - and they all hate our guts because we are not Muslims.
And we have been there since 2001.
It is a totally insane foreign policy.

Our policy should be to let the Muslims kill and fight each other and stay the hell out.

You are entitled to your opinion. For the record, I'm not saying that war is the solution. I'm also not saying it isn't. What I'm saying is that whether we go to war with them or not, they are certainly a problem for the security and economy of our country. For anyone to disagree with that shows a lack of understanding of the seriousness and urgency of the situation in the middle east.

Iran is not our problem.
Iraq was not our problem.
Afghanistan was only our problem in term of killing as many Al Qaeda and Taliban as possible for a few months
and of course capturing killing Bin Laden.
Syria and Libya were also not our problem.

Iraq was a problem. Bush Sr created that problem in the 80s. We had to go there and fix his mistake.
Since we left it has become a terrorist training camp.
Iran will be our problem if Israel decides to attack them.
Afghanistan was already a terrorist training camp and we had to fix that too.
The person known as Bin Laden was killed in 2003.


None of those were our problem.

I know from your postings that you served in Iraq and I respect that service.
And what the U.S. military did there was outstanding.
And meritorious. And I agree with Sec. Def Bob Gates farewell speech at West Point on the incredible job that the American
servicemen and women did in Iraq.

BUT, we should have never been there. Their dictator was not our problem.
The whole effort and expenditure of blood, money and treasure was complete waste.
Those people there hate our guts.
We handed the whole country over to Iranian influence by taking out Hussein.
And we wasted $2 TRILLION that had to be borrowed and added to the national debt.
And many of our military were killed and severely wounded.
For what? So some other Muslim power that hates us can take over?

In all seriousness, I don't think that there is any historian or foreign policy strategic thinker in the world who is of the opinion
that the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 was a good decision. It is universally considered not just a huge foreign policy mistake
but also probably the biggest foreign policy mistake in American history. It ruined the Bush II presidency. It was a total tar baby.

Which is a shame because so many great American men and women such as yourself honorably and bravely served there.


Afghanistan - should have only been a 9 to 12 month punitive war then full withdrawal.
No nation building.
We have wasted $2 TRILLION on those pagan barbarian savages, many thousands killed and wounded - - and they all hate our guts because we are not Muslims.
And we have been there since 2001.
It is a totally insane foreign policy.

Our policy should be to let the Muslims kill and fight each other and stay the hell out.


You are living in a bubble. What happened on 9 / 11 was no different than Pearl harbor.
