Those of us who were educated during the Cold War learned about the Domino Theory. Now we are seeing it firsthand.

The Iranians gave up the hostages within hours of Reagan being inaugurated. Not because of any specific threat, but out of fear of the unknown.

Obama is seen as weak, and that's emboldened "revolutionaries" after seeing the US sit back during The Arab Spring. Each subsequent revolution gets more violent -- Tunisia was mild, Egypt became a coup, Libya saw a US consulate attacked outright and an ambassador murdered, and now in Syria we've got chemical warfare.

What Libs don't seem to grasp is that all those events were enabled by the weak leader in the White House.

Had a "trigger happy" administration been in place, it's likely that none of the regime changes over the past few years would have happened, in part out of fear of retaliation.

Note that I am not saying that McCain or Romney would have actually put boots on the ground in any of those situations, but their resolve to do so was far less in question than it is with the current rodeo clown.

The Cold War was won thru the threat of action. Likewise, the Bush Doctrine held a threat of action, and kept a lid on further violence following the 9/11 attacks.

The Obama Doctrine? It's been a hall pass for anyone willing to attempt to overthrow a government and take potshots at the US...

 

[Ms Tree]

Right. Dominoes. What a load of crap that turned out to be. And at the expense of tens of thousands of American lives.

Or perhaps promises were made. Where was Bush in Oct of 1980? Were arms promised at a later date ... Iran Contra?? Definitely enough circumstantial evidence to make anyone suspicious.

So the US was strong in Iraq and Afghanistan? 5,000 troops say you are wrong. 250 dead soldiers in Lebanon and the US retreat say you are wrong. The Iran Contra scandal says you are wrong. In general, history says you are wrong. Nothing has changed over the last 6,8 12, 20 plus years.

Seriously? What a load of tripe. Bush was advocating regime changes. Unless you think the US was going to install puppet regimes in the various countries because that works so well in the past right?

McCain has already said he wants boots on the ground. He wants to arm the rebels one of who is a terrorist who he had his picture taken with. Yea, that sends a great message of resolve to the ME.

If only they had known that Reagan would cut and run a few years later after a terrorist attack against Marines.

Aside from the superpower of Grenada, could you cite where Reagan...the guy the Iranians feared so much....kicked ass on a renegade country?

Had a "trigger happy" administration been in place, it's likely that none of the regime changes over the past few years would have happened, in part out of fear of retaliation.

Again I gotta ask....could you cite for me where the fearless Reagan ever pulled the trigger?

Note that I am not saying that McCain or Romney would have actually put boots on the ground in any of those situations, but their resolve to do so was far less in question than it is with the current rodeo clown.

They would have, and guys like you would have supported them.

Bullshit. Where exactly did Reagan ever exercise any action? And google IED to see just how well the Bush Doctrine put a lid of further violence. In fact, the Bush doctrine got rid of one dicator, and empowered Iran.

Last I checked, Ronnie pulled the trigger on the Russian pocketbook with SDI.

How'd that work out?

 

[delldude]

Muslims respect strength. That's a joke. Israel has won something like 7 wars with the Arab nations surrounding them and see how that has worked out. The fanatics to not respect anything they do not agree with. Does not matter the religious foundation, fanatics are fanatics.

Look at all the attacks on US soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. Hell, the shock and awe BS in Iraq worked real well now didn't. After that massive display of fire power the US did not lose a single soldier in Iraq .... OH wait. That would be incorrect.

Looked like your boy Bush had Al Qeida on the run.....

You are enough of a fool to ever think an air campaign is an end all to boots? Wake up Dave.

"My problem is I'm trying to explain to the American people why Syria matters while my commander-in-chief is AWOL," he told a gathering of supporters at a creekside restaurant Wednesday morning.

State Sen. Lee Bright, R-Spartanburg, known for his inflammatory claims and bombastic bravado, went even further. "John McCain and Lindsey Graham seem willing to go to the ends of the earth to help the Muslim Brotherhood," he zapped.

"Rebel opposition forces are our sworn enemies. We've spent billions of dollars in one country trying to wipe them off the face of the planet ­ al-Qaida. And yet we employ the strategy of funding them and giving them weapons in Syria to get Assad?" asked Jesse Graston, who traveled nearly three hours from Rock Hill, S.C., and forked over the $12 in order to corner the senator.

"I believe that if we get Syria wrong, within six months -- and you can quote me on this," Graham said, pausing for dramatic effect. "There will be a war between Iran and Israel over their nuclear program."
But it wouldn't even end there, Graham surmised. Undoubtedly, he said ominously, the Iranians would share its nuclear technology with U.S. enemies.
"My fear is that it won't come to America on top of a missile, it'll come in the belly of a ship in the Charleston or New York harbor," he said.

HOO RAH

 

[delldude]

Good god. Quoting Krautheimer? That guy is down in the dregs with Oberman, Mathews, Orielly.... The guy is a ignorant tool. Can't believe someone would actually quote him in a discussion.

MSNBC.com editor and reliable White House defender Richard Wolffe had harsh words for President Obama Friday, calling his press conference “actually embarrassing” as he continued to make his case for military action in Syria.

Wolffe’s criticism come as a surprise and a sign of Obama’s struggles given Wolffe’s frequent pro-Obama stances during his MSNBC appearances.

KC, the point you're missing is Reagan didn't need to pull the trigger, mainly because there was little reason to question *if* he would pull the trigger if prevoked.

At this point, nobody expects the US to take further actions when someone attacks us directly. That's what happens when there's no retaliation or retribution for killing an Ambassador or attacking diplomatic facilities... Heck, there's not even an arrest almost a year later.

I know you like to bring up Lebanon, but that wasn't a US unilateral decision. The US didn't send troops until the UN forced the issue and put peacekeeping forces on the ground. The attack on the Marine barracks was primarily due to the perception we were taking sides. It's something that should never be repeated when it's not obvious who the real enemy is.

Maybe the solution should be to bomb the crap out of both Assad and the rebels?...

 

[Ms Tree]

I seem to.recall Reagan giving Russia a real tounge lashing after they shot down KAL 007.

How many retaliations and arrests were there for the attacks and killings while Bush was in office?

So.lets get this straight. The UN forced the almighty Reagan to send in troops too a war zone leave them unprotected, do nothing to retaliate and then pull the troops out? Got.it.

Perhpas you should mention not taking sides.thing to McCain. Seems he did not get your memo.

I'd suggest reading the book "Tear down this myth".

Why? They are already doing that. And I'm all for letting them keep it up. The quickest way to unite enemies in the middle east is for the US to intervene. Let them kill each other.

 

[delldude]

You guys are living in the past.
Seems like its all you got.

A Belgian teacher who was kidnapped by rebels in Syria said he overheard the militants acknowledging that President Bashar Al-Assad was not responsible for last month’s chemical weapons attack.

I heard a guy in a coffee shop talking and he said that he knows Roswell really happened.
