It’s funny: in Iraq they were so worried about ‘force protection’ they wouldn’t go outside the wire. Now it’s the other way around. Wish they’d make up their mind.

I still say all this nation-building, enable-them-to-take-over is wrong. Do it like the Army in the Indian Wars: chase, harass, cut off the buffalo and water holes, raid, and give them no peace. We won’t get ‘em all but they can’t settle down and plan another 9/11. As for the civilians, let ‘em live the way they wish.

It kills me to say it: Biden was right.
