Because new weapons is what keeps us a superpower, constant change and innovation. The attitude you espouse is what 3rd world dictatorships do. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Wouldn't be the fifth time, but does not seem big enough a war. My money is still onbeing a staging area to keep Pakistan or/Iran in line. The President is a fink. |

I think that's a safe bet. I'm glad that someone was able to convince him that pulling out and leaving the whole region as a safe haven for terrorists wasn't a good idea. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

Two guys, different as night and day, want to get out as a matter of policy. Both cave and forget it. Either one of them does, well it happens. Both? There used to be a thing, probably still is, where a new POTUS got sat down and was shown all the targets the USA had in USSR and USSR presumed to have in the USA. Nuke targets. The smallest places were targets for any kind of reason. Baker, CA, to knock out that thermometer. Whatever. Then they get told how we need all these nuke sites, 48 states had them IIRC, since having just a few would make it all meaningless. One could knock out most of the B-52 fleet, etc. After this they invariably got with the program. Trump is no peacenick liberal loon. He seemed to have had my opinion, namely wtf are we still doing there playing around? I was hoping we would leave and give the message we are not losing good lives after bad. I agree, someone told him something. The President is a fink. |

That's what I said. Somebody explained a reality to both of them that neither can deny. We don't know what that is, but it sure as hell is convincing. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Reality: It is a stupid reason to change announcers no matter who thought of it. What's next? Switching from Dixie Cups to another cup vendor? The President is a fink. |
