Ben Carson wants another Iraq War including taking Anbar Province again. I wonder what he will do with all that once he has it. Assuming of course, most of the natural citizens are dead.
That is the problem with every Republican in the field. They absolutely treat foreign policy as if we can simply walk into a country and own it.
The only countries Ben Carson identified as of concern in the Middle East is China and Russia.
???????????????????
No Libyans, no Iraqis, no Syrians which might be accurate at this point, no Kurds, they must have become refugees in Turkey, No Jordanians, the kingdom fell evidently, same thing for Saudi Arabia,...
...I know for a fact the Ruskies took over Egypt at least a year ago and so goes the entire of the Middle East. I honestly didn't see him identify Israel either. So, under Ben Carson the USA must already have invaded Israel. Got rid of the Jews, huh, Ben?
Ben Carson has the same attitude about the world that "W" had. The world was his to conquer as the only Superpower. "W"rong, Ben, very, very "W"rong.
The USA has a lot of diplomacy working right now. As a matter of fact it was only today or so the USA was invited and/or permitted to help with the downed jet with Russia as a destiny.
There are many, many countries in the Middle East. For every country there are many religious ethnicities. There is no way the USA can simply plant a flag and expect every person in the Middle East jump to attention and salute the hoisting of the red, white and blue. Those DYNASTY days whereby Napoleon conquered foreign lands are over. The USA, under President Obama, recognizes the legitimate leadership of every country and in the Middle East President Obama has brought together a coalition of countries to protect their sovereign borders and defeat enemies such as Daesh.
Now, why would President Obama do something as silly as that when all that has to be decided is the tug of war with Russia and China?
Why? Because there will be another Daesh somewhere in the future. It is far better to have these countries organized to DETECT such movements and act to end them. Right now there is an Arab Nations Coalition with the USA that will last to the end of time. It will grown stronger and more independent and will govern the Middle East with sovereign peace in their borders.
Some day in the near future Syria will have a power sharing government. The country will rebuild and there will be a right to return to the people that have called Syria their birth home.
President Obama has been working hard along with his State Department to grow governance and not an invasion in order to occupy. We tried that. The country was Iraq. We all know how that turned out.
Have I been unfair to the Republicans in describing them as not having a clue about foreign relations?
I don't think so. There are enormous numbers of innocent people dead and now there are more from the aftermath of the Iraq invasion of 2003. See, "W" thought the USA can simply march into a far weaker and disarmed country and write a constitution. Can you imagine the arrogance of a USA President to imagineer an entirely different country once the USA planted it's flag there?
Ben Carson has not world view, neither did "W." And for the invasion into Iraq what did we get in return besides debt? We got Daesh. The invasion completely alienated the Ba'athists and now we have Daesh.
We aren't going to do it again, Ben. We simply aren't.
The crash scene? In Egypt? I keep looking at it with every new angle and every new photo and I see the same thing. It definitely looks like two separate jets that fell from the sky 3 miles apart. I have not changed my mind. The ENTIRE tail section lays in the desert intact and without CHARRING. Then three miles away is a jet completely burned and lying on the ground unrecognizible. The only way the entire tail section is that far from the main body of the get is if it fell away from the jet as it exploded. I have tried to change my own mind and I can't. The facts as I see them simply scream from the desert to have the truth recognized.
I understand there is a recognizable noise on the black boxes. Fine. But, what I see is what I see. I am thousands upon thousands of miles away and I accept the findings of the governments involved. But, I doubt I will ever change my mind.
As far as competition in the Middle East with Russia and China? That will never happen unless it is a trading war.
Is a Republican capable of governing? Not if the first thought in any decision is "We don't have to put up with this, we are the USA!"
