I'm definitely not claiming to be an expert on foreign policy. That's exactly why the U.S. shouldn't be interfering in Arab World matters...we don't understand the culture or the people. We're clueless.

And I say that we can't win based on our recent experience there. And I'm right.

Here's hypothetical question, suppose in 2 years this group launches a major attack here in the US. I think that's inevitable but supoosing they do what's your plan then?

Attack here for what? Why is it inevitable?

Is it inevitable that they'll attack Norway or Hungary in the next few years?

Of course not. So ask yourself why that is.

If they attack here, it's because you're attacking them there. Don't attack them...it's that simple.

If they attack us here, I don't have a "plan." Well...I do; it's called 'get the hell out of the Middle East and stop meddling in Arab affairs.'

In any case, if they attack us it doesn't change the fact that we can't defeat them over there.

Why yes, he did. But Obama will only be in office for 2 more years. Then we have another chance to do it right.

Another chance to waste billions of dollars and thousands of american lives?? Wow, I can't wait!!

Sorry, but the odds of another republican getting in office is still pretty low. It'll probably be Hillary.

A Republican won't go back in either.

It'll be too far gone in two years anyway.

Meh. She's another Republican, just a little dumber than the average one. But your probably right, she has a vagina and that's enough to get elected these days.

BTW...when I quoted this

I was referring to the US. Iraq's leadership might be a bit more capable than the current administration.

This group is made up of lot of westerners many of whom have passports and can easily enter the US. You would assume they are just going to leave us alone? Let's talk about reality here and the reality is these people most certainly would want to carry out an attack in the US.

Have we ever tried to leave them alone?

NO.

So why not give that a try first? Oh...i know; because that's too much to ask, right?

Why would they wanna carry out an attack here and not in Slovenia? They're westerners and Christians too.

Perhaps that's because Slovenia isn't over there meddling in their affairs.

Talk about reality you say? OK...the reality is that they don't hate us for our freedoms. They hate us because we stick our fat noses where it doesn't belong.

Stop doing that for a change and maybe you won't get attacked.
