Interesting a libertarian willing to spend trillions for a nation that is currently pumping barrels of oil...till China now has a footprint in Iraq.
China is also all over Afghanistan sucking up resources. The military had all the power and money to do as they wanted in Iraq/Afghanistan. There was a diplomatic mission begging obama for money for pacification but they were allowed very little funding. I don't believe in holding back the military but more could have been done. We did the same thing in Afghanistan after the Soviet defeat, just figured the military aspects were done so close up shop. The idea that a country thousands of miles away is of little consequence is along the idea of what a English statesmen said about Hitler, minus the distance. But Chamberlain did say far away people.
