[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 200833, member: 4823"] Yes, we succeeded in Iraq. I think we toppled that terrorism-supporting government in 2003. We found Saddam in 2003. We need to get out of the business of creating more terrorists, and we need to aim our diplomacy (if we have any left) and military (if needed) where they will do the most good. Thanks for the tautology. If/when it is the best option, then war is the best option. However, someone has to choose when it is "best" to put our troops lives at stake, and that is where the differences begin. But you are free to express your opinion about it. I do not get to make the call, either. You haven't seen that shut me up. This sounds like, "Once we elect them, we shall not question their decisions". Will you allow Hillary to make those decisions for you if she is elected? Note: When I make a worst-case-scenario hypothesis, somebody is going to think that is my desired outcome. Let me clarify - I do not want Hilarity to be our President. I want av8torntn to consider the possible consequences of the rules he makes, and apply the same rules to himself as he does to others. As I have said in the past: Do not give power to a government you trust unless you are willing to have that power end up in the hands of a government you do [I]not[/I] trust. [/QUOTE]
