this president has sanitized every defense document. everything. the word radical islam doesn t appear anywhere. why? because we re fight we re trying to fight this politically correct war and not talking about how they hate us and what we must do to stop us. we know you have differences with president obama, but who has the better argument between snoe santorum and huntsman? i would send troops back into iraq. now? i think we start talking with the iraqi individuals there, the idea that we allow the iranians to come back into iraq and take over that country with all of the treasure both in blood and money that we have spent in iraq, because this president wants to kowtow to his liberal leftist base and move out the men and women. he could have been renegotiated that time frame. i think it s a huge error for s us. we re going to see iran in my opinion, move back in at literally the speed of light. they re going to move back in and all of the work that we have done,
