I am one who has said this, HOWEVER, having watched the hearings I see, at least from what the resolution says and how the hearings have gone, no fear of what you are saying. Perhaps you know more than I but I understand the missles would be from our warships off shore.
Lest you think I care little about our armed forces, I will not bore you with comments but suggest if you care, read my posts from the past and you may be shocked.
I have always been a foe of this President, yet I truly in my heart think if we do not cover his a** and reckless naive attitude, the consequences will be more severe. I believe that what happens in the mideast DOES MATTER to this country. I believe that the USA would become even more of a laughing stock than at present, and that all we are doing is delaying the inevitable.
I do not care if there is a regime change..absolutely do not care outside my sympathy for the citizens, but I felt that way in so many countries over the years that we ignore.
To embolden those in the region in anyway, in my opinion is a mistake.
Listen, any action is way past due, and you are correct.....the perils are greater now than they would have been when folks were screaming and being ignored about this subject, and the same thing is going to come up again and again.
It is past due..there are risks, but in my opinion, the fellow who brought up Benghaze was spot on....we had americans killed there and did nothing....and I think that action now will eventually save american lives.
I know the administration got us here and I am loathe to save his reputation and credibility, but lets face it...he is the person who represents our country. I will be just as upset when the congress has to save his "bacon" with health care. IN both cases, had he put aside his political agendas, and at least consulted, we would be better off in both ways.
I want nobody to die....but I think more will die if we do not send a message now....again mucho late, but at least a message.
