Bear with me

I'm different from a lot of progressives. A lot of progressives are against war for any reason. I disagree. I feel if there is a "Clear and Present Danger" (credit the book and movie) if it is necessary to deal with a threat do it.

I supported going into Afghanistan and getting Osama Bin Laden (who eventually was found in Pakistan). In other words, there was a reason to be there.

I did not support the Iraq invasion and occupation. In my opinion there was no threat, and as we found out every reason given was a lie.


Now onto today's news... I feel North Korea is a threat. I feel Iran is a threat. I would support any invasions of those countries.

I do not feel Syria is a threat unless they attack Israel. Otherwise it is their civil war and we should not be involved.

Just Wondering

Two questions today that should be talked about more in my opinion (contrary to what Robert thinks I am entitled to my own opinion):

Are we at war in Pakistan? I stumbled on a story that has gone largely unreported by the media and I feel is an issue

Why is President Obama going to the national prayer breakfast? I feel it's disgusting that it's televised and the President Obama is going for such an idiotic event. It's a joke and makes me want to throw up.
