do i understand your question, man

 is it hopeless and forlorn ?

come in she said i'll give ya

shelter from the storm ( dylan)

so clueless joe asked the question yesterday ....why should American service him fight and die in Afghanistan's' civil war, when the Afghanistan army isn't willing to fight ? fair question

the democrats are well accomplished of taking control of the conversation.....moving goal posts , and creating diversions.........and if the US had only two options, to stay and fight in a civil war OR run home and abandon the country and leave our military equipment behind....the dementia joe would make a good point.

But look no further than Japan and Germany....our two greatest world war enemies.....and how 75 plus years later we still maintain bases and troops on our enemies soil to ensure they don't ever even think about fighting us again....and then add up how many times since the end of WWII we had to fight the Germans and the Japs ........count how many casualties our troops have suffered at the hands of Japanes or German insurgents ?  add South Korea to the mix....and ask yourself what would have become of that Nation at the hands of Kim Jong Ill and his family if the United States went home to hide....

no joe.....your speech writers tried in vain to steer a stupid American public onto your side.....and some blind sheep and low iq imbeciles probably agreed with you.....but the casualties will be higher , and the price we pay steeper, when we inevitably have to go back.......just because our military is stationed in a foreign country does not mean we have to be actively involved in daily firefights......and if and when we are attacked, if Washington responds with overwhelming force, those attacks will diminish and stop.... 

spoiler alert....it is a blue print that has worked for hundreds of years.......just take a look at our Base in Guantanamo on the Cuban mainland......i was stationed there for a month.....never had so much as a concern for my safety.

market alert......i see the Dow dropping significantly between now and next weeks Fed meeting...QE is going to be tapered.....and the slide will begin.

Well, I’m livin’ in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday I’ll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
