It's very hard to dislodge people from the "foreign policy establishment" once they have wormed their way into it, regardless of how badly they botch things.

The Neoconservative movement never went anywhere. In case you haven't noticed...we're still working in the Middle East to win what we've started. As GWB said...."I'm a firm believer that the human condition in other places is directly related to our national security here." We have to work as hard as possible to root out terror wherever it is. The battle against evil is long from over.

I disagree.

The Obama administration believed that supporting 'regime change' via planting instigators of paralyzing demonstrations was the way to change the muslim nations in the middle east and north Africa. He IS a 'community organizer' afterall.

All he did was create power vacuums where Islamists could take power. The money men of Dubai reversed that in Egypt, but everywhere else there is civil war and chaos.

Some might think O was naïve. I think it was intentional.

All other considerations aside, you can't afford it.

As an autonomous currency producer and the largest, most effective military in the world...I think we're fine. But thanks!

This is America, Sea. We can't provide healthcare for our citizens or fix our decrepit infrastructure, but we can always find a few bills to spend for a war.

It never left.

The GOP is about Greater Israel and the military industrial complex.

Nothing more.

They want nothing to do with small government conservatism, and label any action other than seeking out war as isolationism.

A true conservative has no party.
