Does Rick Perry think he will get my vote by saying we need to send troops back into Iraq?

   Were you surprised at how small air time he got last night?

   Sending US troops back to Iraq would be a wise go for the national security of the US. Allowing Iran to take over Iraq means that all of our blood and money spent to free Iraq was for nothing if we hand it over to Iran.

   Right now Iran is on its heels with Syria in upheaval and Egypt in chaos. Allowing them to spread their influence and control to Iraq would mean handing them a major victory with nearly no cost to them.

   Our troops were withdrawn from Iraq because Obama bungled the negotiations with Maliki. We need a presence in Iraq for a variety of reasons and most Iraqi’s want the US there for security. Pulling out to appease the left is strictly a campaign go and not a go that advances the national security of the US.

   How would you feel if one of your loved ones died while freeing Iraq and then Obama hands over Iraq to Iran? What was the point of our soldiers dying there? Due to Obama it now appears that they died for nothing and that the trillion dollars we spent there was for nothing.

   Just one more example of Obama’s failed foreign policy.

   If you reckon that the US is better off with Iran controlling events in Iraq then you’re the idiot.

   Evidently he believes many people will. I will not.

   NO, I don’t reckon he appeals to the left at all, being a Republican was my first clue, being right about the subject was my second clue, with the Middle East in turmoil now, Arab Spring, fall of Egypt, Libya etc. but time will tell who’s right*******************************************************************************************

   If we have to go into any military conflict (I sure hope not for years to come or ever again) let us send him. Obviously he likes to shoot.
   He should have stayed in Texas but his head is much too huge to know reality.

   Because of his “denseness” he has been Governor for so long. He is the perfect Puppet for huge money.
