re: #97 Dark_Falcon

Perhaps he simply intends not to fight such wars. It’s always an option we have to simply refuse to engage, and we might well just want to do that. America as a whole might be better off just following Romney’s sort of strategy and tacitly admitting that we don’t have the temperament for COIN.

If that were the case he wouldn’t have called us not leaving 10 to 30 thousand troops in Iraq Obama’s “signature failure.” Fact is Romney is incredibly belligerent on Iran, has no plan to leave Afghanistan, and clearly plans to keep the military overextended with US troops indefinitely tied up, fighting and dying in countries where they aren’t welcome. There’s no “perhaps” about it, you’re deluding yourself about your candidates clearly stated policies. He’s a spoiled child that views the troops as expendable toys, the absolute last kind of person that should ever be considered for Commander in Chief.
