Gov. Scott Walker: Don't Rule Out 'Boots on the Ground' Against ISIS

How much more genocide to you need to see before you come to the conclusion that evil must be stopped? How many more children beheaded for being Christian?

If you, as an individual, see fit that you should support the defense of Iraq, you are welcome to defend Iraq.

But until the defense of Iraq is requires in the US constitution, it's not my problem.
 
I don't think anyone would consider Canadians to be war mongers or neo-conservative "chickenhawks", so I think this national poll of Canadian attitudes as it relates to ISIS and what should be done may be of interest to those who question the threat.

Three Quarters (73%) of Canadians Support Use of Canadian Ground Troops in the War Against ISIS to Stop it From Gaining Own State | Ipsos

Most interesting note, for me, is that a full 60% of Canadians in the 18-34 demographic, the very people who would most likely serve in our forces deployed to the region, support having Canadian ground troops in Iraq as part of a coalition effort to stop ISIS.

Most Canadians and Americans understand that ISIS would not stop at having it's own state. They are spreading like a cancer in many third world nations. The only thing that will stop them is force.

If that is what your government chooses do do, then have at it.

The US constitution certainly doesn't provide for any requirement for the US to defend Iraq.
 
Where in the constitution does it say we should defend Iraq or Syria with American lives? Where does it say that we should fund the defense of Iraq or Syria?

Article None, Section What For

So....can I assume that you are against everything the US Constitution does not require? Let's eliminate the massive entitlement system. Let's eliminate obamacare.

Iraq should pay us for forcing ISIS into Syria. After ISIS and Assad have fought it out, we should destroy whomever wins there with a friendly govt. :cool:

I'm all for eliminating all forms of means tested benefits and special tax deals. I'm also all for eliminating Obamacare, I have never supported it, and I met with congress a year before it was signed into law to oppose it.

But no, I'm not one of the extremist idiots who believe that government should be restrained to just was was mentioned in the constitution. I hate the hypocrisy of those who will argue that, then turn around and argue that we have any business in Iraq.

Why is their government any of our business?

Does the constitution say that we should establish governments in other countries?
 
No NorthEastern/Midwestern located GOP candidate will ever be president again in US history. It's simply not going to happen anymore. A modern GOP candidate has to be based in the South where their true support columns are.


Such is why Romney never truly stood a chance. He was basically a NorthEastern establishment guy who probably could have passed as a liberal in many places in the South. Romney was always going to lose badly and everyone knew it. Such is why Jeb Bush didn't run and such is why Jeb Bush now is running and Romney is now not running, because now the GOP has a chance and the fake NorthEast candidates (Romney) know not to bother against a Southerner (Jeb).

Cool story bro. Listen to what leftists threatened to do to Walker...

Sounds like ISIS to me-and he stood firm.

In any case its incredibly myopic to state no President will ever again blah blah blah.
 
Our bests interests are our interest. And Obama certainly feels its his business. :2wave:

I believe that it's in our best interest to contain ISIS, "over there". Other than that, it's really not much of our bitness.

I could care less if muslums kill each other. None of those people are "good". I don't believe it's possible for us to establish a good government in any part of that world. Even our closest allies in that region are our enemies.

We certainly shouldn't start trying to change governments all over the world by force. History has proven that doesn't work out so well.

While the North East might have good GOP politicians now and in the future they'll never ever be elected president. VP maybe sure, but president, no. Why? Because simply put:

-They have no connection to Hispanics such as Southern GOP candidates do and will even more so in the future such as Jeb Bush.

-Again, if you haven't noticed, the future GOP is going to be a White/Hispanic middle class Southern party. No North Eastern "Banker-Esq" candidate is ever going to be elected by such people in the South.

-The North East US is alien to the South and the SouthWest and those are the people who elect GOP candidates. The Northeast GOP is dying if not yet officially dead.



Such is why Chris Christie is essentially a joke candidate. He cannot win in the South or SouthWest. He's ****ed as is Walker.

Does the constitution say that we should establish governments in other countries?

Was it any of our business in 1941 what governments were in power in Japan and Germany?

Japan attacked us by air, and a few days later Germany officially declared war against us. Japan and Germany both had an airforce and a navy.

Does ISIS have either a navy or an airforce?
 
He can send the Wisconsin Guard in I guess then.
 
That was exactly Clintons attitude.

And we weren't attacked by Iraq when Clinton was POTUS. Of course we weren't attacked or even provoked by Iraq when Bush was POTUS either, yet he decided to go to war against Iraq.

If Bush didn't attack Iraq a dozen years ago, do you think we would have any business in Iraq today?
 
What branch of service are your kids serving in?

Why are you attempting to make this personal when it has nothing to do with the topic? I have not advocated anyone serving in a war so the experience of me or my kids is not relevant. People who do advocate putting others in harms way are the ones you should be asking that question as it is relevant to them.
 
I'm betting that if the terrorists start regularly attacking us on American soil, you would be among the first to scream: "Why didn't we stop them overseas?!"

I will take your bet. How much are you putting up?

They aren't content, they are a highly invasive metastatic cancer-and they have already said they will behead Obama.
They picked the fight, not us.

Thats a lovely opinion.

It's very relevant. Now, what branch of service are your kids serving in?
 
They aren't content, they are a highly invasive metastatic cancer-and they have already said they will behead Obama.

Since when did you care about Obama's head?

there are many Americans who have said that they would like to see Obama dead. Should we bomb their houses?

I'm sure that there are people in every country who have uttered vague threats towards Obama, should we bomb every country?

They picked the fight, not us.

You seem to be confused.

ISIS didn't attack us, we attacked ISIS.

For that matter, Iraq didn't attack us either. We attacked them.
