If you listened to any news outlet (no Fox doesn't count), you'd know
that we'll be handing off more of the air bombing to others.

I will feel better when it happens.

So what? Do you think anyone really wants us to be in another war?

Yet we are

Yet that has nothing to do with your "endless" war paranoia.

Endless war means the wars never end. I would feel better if we
actually started ending a few. The only war we ended in 60 years was
Vietnam. The rest are still on hold. The troops are still there armed
to the teeth, just waiting for another provocation to start them up
again.

So according to you, Mr. Expert, we should just disband the military.

No, I just want the military to do what it is constitutionally
authorized to do, protect the USA.

How do they do that without being involved elsewhere and being
prepared?

We could certainly cut the DoD budget by half tho and still be
spending more than anyone else in the world.
It is funny when I am the one saying the pentagon budget is bloated,
to a lefty.

I've already said several times that we need to cut the DoD budget.
So, your last comment is disingenuous.

I still remember the early talk about the NFZ there when it was
"humanitarian" to save the Kurds with the bonus that they would topple
Saddam if we could just give them a chance.

I don't think Obama would go in but who knows what the next yahoo
might do if he has it all teed up.

I agree. Let's try and keep Jeb out of the White House.

There won't be another Bush in there anytime soon.
Huckabee could be scary.
I don't really see a viable republican I like.

I guess you'll be voting for Obama then. Good for you!

I am not sure who I will vote for. Obama is not standing out as being
much more than the 5th Bush brother.

Feel free to vote for Palin.

I would rather write in Ron Paul

Feel free. It'll be about as likely that he'll win.

I have not voted for a winning candidate since Reagan and I don't feel
bad about it at all. At least I felt good about my vote.

Good for you. That's not a great track record for making a difference
in this country though.
