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

FDR's actions prolonged the depression. All of his new deal projects were bunk. And war has an odd way of shrinking unemployment.

Who is surprised by a conservatives concession of the merits of war?!?!

FDR's ill timed attempt to balance the budget is what prolonged the Depression and produced a double dip. We did not know how difficult the recovery from financially caused recessions was at the time. Thankfully we did not make that mistake in the 2008 Great Recession.

Where's the credit to Warren Harding for the gawd damn depression to begin with??
 
Only you would call the "golden age of capitalism" socialist. I knew you were a fan of the monarchy.

FDR was not the first to subvert the Constitution for political gain. Capitalism can work a very long time in a hostile environment. In the face of greater and greater levels of legal plunder we arrive at our moment in history where we all jostle one another for our share of the "take".
 
I can only speak for those who are telling the truth. You will continue to speak for yourself.

I can only speak for myself, and you can only speak for yourself. The truth, lol hasn't landed on your head yet.

I do not expect the truth to land on me. One must seek it. Would you like to learn how that is done? Maybe I should write a book. Do you think I would need a title that conceals that it was about seeking the truth? It is a tough choice. If I said what it was about Conservatives would buy it but no liberal would go near it.

Wow, mister writing a book, on the truth no less, that's pretty funny.

It will be on seeking the truth. I think that is preferable to the method you described of hoping the truth will fall on your head. Of course it will have humor.
 
Boots on the ground is what ISIS wants. Especially American ones. Unless they're Arab boots, they can only benefit.

It is what I want too. I think five to seven brigade combat teams, 2-3K special operators, a suitable quantity of a cross section of the intelligence disciplines all backed by massive airpower should reduce ISIS by 95% in a matter of weeks.

But how do we keep The Insane One occupied so he does not meddle and throw away our success to his Islamofascist friends?

And why is he arming Iran with nuclear weapons and the means to strike the US?

I agree that we could wipe out ISIS as a military force in a matter of weeks, if we had the resolve and reason to do so.

I also believe that eventually it will be wiped out by "the coalition of the willing", with less loss of American lives (although probably more loss of citizens of other countries lives).

There is no one named Bush to put that together. We do have a manly leader in Jordan. Maybe we can convince The Effeminate One to get behind him (ooh! bad image). I mean follow him. :)

I still suspect that before Obama leaves office, he will have is "mission accomplished" moment.

Yeah... if they stood toe to toe like armies of the old days, sure.

But they won't. They will hide... blend in with the population... and use improvised explosive devices to kill off American forces where they can, and terrorize the population that gives aid to American Forces.

Meanwhile, we spend billions supporting this operation, and go furthur into debt.

I'm curious why you think that when 14 years of the strongest military in the world attempting the same thing with both the Taliban and AQ, and what we have is an emboldened network of terrorist organisations and Islamic extremists wreaking havoc in the ME,
And a Taliban and AQ alive and well??

ISIS will lose, if American troops hit the ground.

i don't know about that, but I'm pretty sure unbiased historians will review his actions to remove every single soldier and military analyst from Iraq and declaring Iraq stable enough to handle it.......that won't look like such a brilliant move.
