Re: Do you favor putting boots on the ground in the Midddle East to combat the threa
Freedon is not free my left wing friend.
The last time there was a "threat" in the middle east, the US got sucked into a 10+ year conflict that saw thousands of Americans die and trillions of dollars being spent to combat the "threat" in Iraq. Excuse me if I am skeptical about the ability for our government not to get us into an unwinnable war that has no clear vision and path. We cant fight our way to peace, we need to stop the cycle of violence, not continue it. Instead of getting raging b*ners about the idea of defense contractors getting more money and getting to go to war, how about we bring our people home, fortify our own borders here and ensure we are safe domestically, and funnel money into intelligence, so we know in advance and can thwart attacks in the future. We need to learn from our mistakes, not keep making the same ones.
