You're going to try to use something from 1994? Really? And now you're going to quote the CIA? But I thought their erroneous intelligence was the reason why we got into this in the first place. No, I don't know more than both of them, never claimed I did. Maybe I'll learn something on my 3rd tour, because I obviously didn't learn anything on #2 as a company commander. Of course, the last 3 last years at West Point have been a complete waste, as well. No, being a field grade officer, rising from the ranks as a private when Ronald Reagan was still president, really hasn't taught me a whole lot compared to your obvious intimate knowledge of world affairs.
Never said I was an expert. Your point is taken and fine. But that doesn't mean you are correct on the issue.
Pulling the troops out now completely annihilates anything gained from the current military action. Merely pointing your finger and saying that we should have never gone is just a childish statement. Grow up. We DID go to war. And with the support of dems and repubs in both houses. Nearly unanimous. Monday morning QBs are not smart, just smartasses. At least Obama figured this out once in office and did not yank the troops out, as the far left expected him to do. Getting the troops out is a priority, but not at the cost of a nationwide implosion. We went and made a mess. Bitching about why we did or if we should have does not change this REALITY. We will have to clean it up to a manageable level before we leave or we will create an even bigger problem than we have now. Failure to acknowledge this is either political grandstanding or just blatant stupidity. Take your pick.
Did I quote you fruitcake? If my statement spoke to you in some way then I guess you just tagged yourself. Shocker.
I'm quoting you now old man. You refuted nothing I said, because you can't. I stated fact. You never offer viable arguments to any discussion, merely derision - pathetic and transparent. Easily the most petulant whiner on TF. It will be a pleasure watching your perpetual meltdowns over the next few yrs. But since your opinions come from such a vast wealth of knowledge, why don't you try actually refuting something with FACT, instead of your typical drive by shots? Is it really because you can't? We already know you won't. Geez, I could argue your side better than you. Enjoy the election.
