What we’ve done since 2003 in Iraq and Afghanistan speaks for itself.
Under the Democrats and Republicans, we’ve –
-Aimlessly engaged in nation building
-Attacked Iraq, a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11
-Let Bin Laden escape
-Waged and escalated a war based on a lie (and failed to prosecute it)
-Spread this aimless war into Pakistan (again without a declaration of war)
-Lied about the reason for these wars, changed the lie when it became evident, and repeated the process
-Made the Middle East less secure and less stable by creating power vacuums.
The Democrats –
-Lied about ending the war
-Expanded the war, even more than Bush asked for
-Plan on leaving permanent installations in Iraq
-Let deliberately misleading the Congress go unpunished
-Virtually ignore the war they ran against in 2006
Libertarians –
-Take national defense seriously and will pursue any threat
-Don’t believe in attacking nations that haven’t attacked us
-Would declare war, fight it and win it should a threat exist
-Don’t believe in over extending our military through nation building
