Is It time to withdraw from the Middle East?

This post is going to make all those that fear everything to think that I have lost my ever loving mind…..I may have but not about this situation.

I also realize that there are those that think that if the US leaves the Middle East that somehow makes us look weak….was America weak when Reagan pulled our troops out of Beirut?  Nope he saw that our presence was becoming a magnet for every wacko with a cause and as a result many Marines had to die.

A case can be made, although there are many who will not see it no matter how much evidence is presented, that our invasion has lead to much of the problems we face today….

There is an alternative to sending more and more troops to an area that has become a death trap…..

American-led airstrikes recruit as many terrorists as they kill. How many times must we repeat the same mistakes?

  1. Devil makes work for idle hands……
    We come to idle our way through life……not ever sure if we meant anything…….that’s where religion comes in…grin……and I am not an atheist.

      1. True Indeed……..from a confirmed anarchist! that’s my religion….

  2. We should have never stuck our noses in there in the first place. We have enough on our plates at home and we have to get out of some of the more than 132 countries where we have troops and diplomatic missions that are accomplishing nothing but wasting taxpayer money and weakening us militarily.

    1. I could not agree more….I will be posting a piece about what we did in 1919 that lead to the problems today….I will let you know when it is finished….chuq

  3. My thoughts on all of it? Nuke the gay whales for Jesus, brother, and we’ll all go have a Bud….

    Everything going on, all over the world, is just distraction, to keep people from finding the truth of what the leaders are doing, which is dancing the Oligarchy March…. NOTHING is going to change until we kick ALL their asses to the curb. Money doesn’t mean anything, really, it has no actual basis in Reality. So why do we let them think it does? It only encourages them….

    THAT is what they’re afraid of; if people knew, and actually could comprehend the two great delusions they lived under, the revolution would start tonight… Money has no value other than what we give it. There is no supernatural creator up in the sky, or anywhere. who’s going to save your ass when you die. You’re on your own, now, and then. Deal with it, and let’s get on with LIFE.

    gigoid has spoken.

      1. Yep… I wrote a piece on that & reprinted it a few days ago… That’s me in a nutshell; probably an appropriate vessel…
