hen the failing foreign policy reaches the breaking point and the fight moves to the states, imo the liberals will change their tunes

Why would you think current events in the Middle East represent a failure of US foreign policy?
"In Clark's book, Winning Modern Wars, published in 2003, he describes his conversation with a military officer in the Pentagon shortly after 9/11 regarding a plan to attack seven Middle Eastern countries in five years: 'As I went back through the Pentagon in November 2001, one of the senior military staff officers had time for a chat.

"'Yes, we were still on track for going against Iraq, he said. But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran." [1

exactly ...

This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said,

what part of that statement escapes you?

 

[georgephillip]

LOL..that was 11+ years ago..

How have things changed in Iraq, Libya, and Syria since that time?

They've changed about as much as they have in 2thousand years.. none...

 

[ScienceRocks]

Idiot,

How many do you think die from air strikes? If you're against killing people then be against it totally.

 

[georgephillip]

You think the level of violence in Iraq and Syria today hasn't changed much from the levels of 11 years ago?

Those 3 countries are not the totality of our foreign policy, you should broaden your research sites past wiki. Here's one that might help..

To answer that query..it was a hell hole then and is a hell hole now and in another 11 years will likely be a hell hole too.

How about homicide rates, internal displacement, and the number of dead children?

Thank you ... finally, some honesty.

Iraq was never attacked because it was Iraq. It was attacked because it was a way to control troops and materiel from moving from Syria to Iran and vice versa. It would interrupt weapons traffic to Hamas, etc. First, settle Iraq (west of Iran), then Afghanistan (east of Iran), then Iran - and you control the Middle East. You give freedom a chance to survive in the area.

But ... Obama took care of that, didn't he?

Do you know those stats for America..maybe you're not an American.

Lost in the argument is the fact that Barry Hussein ordered the execution of American citizens without any evidence of a trial or any other Constitutionally guaranteed due process. It might seem like a good idea to execute American citizens who are suspected terrorists without going to the trouble of trying to arrest them but it is not legal. What happens if a mad president decrees his political enemies should be executed for crimes against the state? An American citizen was driving with his son and his son's friend down a highway in a foreign country when a drone missile blew him to smithereens. Administration supporters quipped "his son should have picked a better father" and so-called "investigative reporters" were silent.

 

[Darkwind]

Imagine if Qari Hussain gave the order to his minions to blow up your house and family.

Of course the argument is not that Qari Hussain was a nice guy justified in anything that he did. The argument is that if Hussain is a bad guy for killing civilians, then so are the people who killed civilians to get Hussain. Civilians in the Middle East are no less people and it's no less a crime to kill them.

So was FDR a bad guy because he killed millions of Europeans in his effort to get Hitler?

Yes, and Truman was a bad guy for ordering the unnecessary vaporization of hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese civilians. Killing innocent people doesn't suddenly become good because you think you're doing it for a good cause, or because "we" did it or if we have nice little catch phrases like "war is hell." Killing innocent people is always wrong and always a crime against humanity.

So Abraham Lincoln should have been prosecuted for crimes against humanity?

Absolutely. Along with McKinley, both Roosevelts, Wilson, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, etc... etc...

Following your asinine doctrine, a man who kills someone who is about to kill his children in his own home would be a war criminal.

Get back to Me when you actually have something good to say about America.

US drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan have killed around 1,147 unknown people in failed attempts to kill 41 named targets according to a report by human rights charity Reprieve.

"Key findings of the report include:

• In Pakistan, 24 men were reported as killed or targeted multiple times. Missed strikes on these men killed 874 people, including 142 children.
• In Yemen, 17 men were reported killed or targeted multiple times. Missile strikes on these men killed 273 others and accounted for almost half of all confirmed civilian casualties and 100% of all recorded child deaths.
• In targeting Ayman al Zawahiri, the CIA killed 76 children and 29 adults. They failed twice, and Ayman al Zawahiri is reportedly still alive."

Reprieve mdash US drone strikes kill 28 unknown people for every intended target new Reprieve report reveals

War on Terror?

Yeah, but as long as Obammy doesn't waterboard them, it's all good...
