29. If elected, what will you seek to achieve in Iraq and Afghanistan, and how?
We won the war in Afghanistan, had the chance and
the resources to finish off bin Laden, Al Qaida and the Taliban, and
rebuild Afghanistan into a stable democracy.
Instead, we diverted resources from Afghanistan to Iraq, and bin Laden, instead of being
brought to justice, is resting in the hills of Pakistan, having become a
hero to Islamic terrorists.
Fundamental principle of geopolitics designates the enemy of our enemy
as our
friend. Our geopolitical enemy in the Middle East is Iran, the soon-to-be
nuclear powered sponsor of radical Islam. The enemy of Iran was Iraq. Invading and destroying the enemy of our enemy,
and botching even that, was sheer
idiocy.
The question is, "What do we do about it now?" Do we pull
out of Afghanistan and Iraq, and hand the Middle East and its oil over to Iran,
Taliban and radical Islam?
To rally the country and to regain the trust of the world, the next
President must admit what everyone already knows: the invasion of Iraq was a
deplorable error by an incompetent
administration that sold
fabrications as intelligence; and ask the world to help us clean up the
mess. The Middle East in the hands of radical Islam would be an error to
rival the invasion and hurt all democracies around the world.
Geopolitically, we have no choice but to
stay and win.
