General Odierno is a loser. He wasn't potty trained until he was 3.5 years old. He has no idea what he is talking about. Senator McCain is a war hero compared to that guy.

Er, not.

I love it when losers give advice....


When/IF the countries of the region, you know, the area most threatened by ISIS?, get together and develop a serious strategy to stop ISIS perhaps we should help. Until then? Not so much. We should have learned the folly of fighting for those who won't fight for themselves 50 years ago.

Saudi Arabia as 200,000 on active duty; Jordan has another 110,000; The United Arab Emirates has 40,000; Kuwait; Kuwait had 10,000. Of course this doesn't include reserves with all of these countries have in spades. They also have all the latest and greatest military toys that oil can buy from Typhoon Eurofighters, to Abrams tanks. And I haven't even started to talk about Iran. All toll they have more forces, closer than the U.S. ever had in Iraq.

You are assuming they actually WANT to stop ISIS. Why should they? The situation is more complicated. Far from fighting them, Saudis are actually funding ISIS. ISIS is tying Iran and Hezbollah down and Saudis are in a big struggle with them. They are not repeating the mistake of removing Saddam. Saddam kept Iran at bay and in retrospect removing him was a huge mistake. I was for it at the time. Trump claims he was against it as early as 2004.

But they don’t have the same enemy. I am sort of an interventionist but in this case I will let them fight it out. They are ALL bad actors. The best way to bleed Iran is to withdraw completely and dump Iraq on their lap. They’d be so bogged down they’d forget all about enrichment.

I'm fine with letting them fight it out over there as long as we deport all Muslims in this country.

So far our strategy has been "Fight terrorists over there and let them in here."

Not very bright.
