It sure is a good thing we pulled all those troop out three years ago, eh?

Looks like this is yet another thing that Romney had right.

It is not too late for Romney's kids to enlist.

Iraq has supposedly given the green light for the US to target terrorists.

If Iraq and the US can't contain what is going on, this will further confirm the current administration's complete "signature" failure in int'l affairs and the waste of tens of billions of dollars of American taxpayer money.

You what to tell us about your military experiances Dog?------- What branch of the service were you in?----- Did you see any action? I put my time in so my kids wouldn't have to! ------ What's your excuess?

 

[Dog Wonder]

Absolutely none, including volunteering some one else's kid to go to war.

So you have no military experiance? --------- But you want to volunteer Romney's kids?------ Is that right? ------- And what about your own? ------ What happens after the next 9/11?

If Romney wants soldiers in Iraq, his kids should be given the opportunity to go.

Answeer all the questions Dog! ----- What about yours?------- What we're talking about isn't going back. It's Obama's failure in not keeping a back up force there to begin with!

So, the only qualification for being able to make a sound decision on going to war rests with those whose kids serve?...

That would rule out just about everyone in the liberal elite, including Obama, Clinton, Kerry, Reid.

At least I get a vote.

What business did we or do have in Iraq?  Even Cheney said we should not have gone in.  Granted that was in 1994.  Perhaps he should have listened to his own advice.  Iraq never posed a risk.  Certainly no more of a risk than N Korea.  How many US soldiers must doe for this failed experiment?  How much money needs to be wasted?  How much money is wasted in N Korea every year?  We already blew over $1,000,000,000,000 in Iraq.  How much more?  For what? 
 
Pulling out of Iraq was one of the few things that Obama did that I agree with.

Why punish his kids?  Let Romney go if he is so gung ho about it.

I think the point is that these pols are quite comfortable sending other peoples kids into combat.  Were their kids in the armed forces and on the front line (not defending IN) perhaps these pols would be less inclined to send kids off to die.

Dog, it all boils down to the fact that there are only two types of people in this world! ------ Givers, and takers! ---- And you Sir, are definitely a "taker"!
