20. So I am going to assume you know nothing about what has been going on the last 12 years

but to clue you in, Syria should have been taken care of before Iraq, Afghanistan ( Hooray for Charlie Wilson's war) the place Russia doesn't want, wonder why. Oh, Pakistan.

We also has Arab Spring where some of my fellow countrymen, should realize that wanting countries to have democracy and actually delivering are very difficult to do. Oh yeah, Egypt and Libya are added to that.

I remember the first Gulf war so well, they are still looking for those babies dumped out of their incubators.

Do you remember Lebanon? There were five factions fighting in that one. No one knew who to please but they did know how to displease Ronald Reagan when a member of one of the five factions decided to blow up a Marine killing 290 US Marines. Score one for the smart people who know not to interfere with a married couple fighting. You are going to lose no matter which side you take.

I have been hearing all this bullshit about Obama didn't do anything. Well bullshit, bush sunk our country deep in debt and we damn sure didn't need to spend any more money on the Middle east.

Mr Trumpet wants to spend our money on bullets and not medical care. Lets show some pictures of our own people dying.

Now, did you learn the lesson or do you need to repeat the course.
