Conservatives have forgotten Bill Clinton and the eight years he held our country hostage to political correctness, but libs like you keep bringing him up.....I wonder why? #reply-19127578

Care to comment on that, my little hypocritical one? Or are you not actually "conservative"?

The issue is terrorism and WMD regardless of where they are......NK, Iraq, Syria, Iran.

We disagree which you should not find surprising. We weren't hit on 9-11 by "terrorists" in some generic sense but by Al Qaeda. We need to focus on the hunt for Al Qaeda. Those other countries are about other issues.

Iraq was not a serious imminent threat and no evidence yet uncovered offers serious argument that Iraq and Al Q were tied. NK is a very serious issue of nuclear proliferation; the most serious one on the globe at the moment. Syria is part of the complex that is the ME and needs to be treated with practical measures to control the violence there. As for Iran, that bears watching. I don't think anyone besides ideologues are clear about it just yet.
