Hind sight is 20/20.. and what is in the future is viewed through murky water..

I stand with the President right now. I cannot just shoot from the hip and say every incursion is wrong. If it is as the State Dept says and the President says that countries were in imminent danger of attack from Isis or its affiliates.. then I am standing with the President. I know we were lied to to get us into Iraq and off of the Bin Laden hunt.. and we have paid a dear price ever since.

The reason I am standing with the President is his pulling together the Middle Eastern countries and keeping boots off the ground.

We cannot enforce our style of goverment on anyone. It is a fools mission. Likewise we cannot let rogue groups of individuals kill and pull nations into a war of destruction willy nilly.

I have no idea what else we could do, if the intelligence is as it has been stated.

Good grief what a mess the middle east is..
