As I was watching —the Clinton-Obama debate last night. I found myself yelling at the TV. Both say they respect the job our soldiers or military are doing in Iraq. But when asked about the advice of Petraeus that a precipitous pullout could upset all the hard fought gains, both insist on a timetable; Clinton 60 days and Obama 16 months. Neither, but especially Clinton, would not accept the advice of generals and admirals who urged them to keep troops in Iraq.
Now aren't the generals and admirals part of the group they just praised?Both would extend our deterrant umbrella to Israel meaning if Iran attacks (or wipes out) Israel with nukes, then we would drop the almighty hammer on Iran in retaliation. Both insist that Iran will not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. Now if I am a cowboy on my horse and a rattlesnake is about to attack, do I wait until he bites or shoot first? Wait, shoot first? Wait or shoot first?
