He thinks that Osama and AQ attacked the US because of bases in Saudi Arabia. The man hasn't done his homework. Osama and AQ were engaged in combat with anyone who would stand in the way of Osama's dream of becoming a Caliph in a new Islamic Empire.

That has and will always be the goal of Islamic extremists.

My problem with the way he views war policy is that he would wait until the threat was right at our doorstep before acting. I believe this is a mistake, and we have seen the results of this kind of thinking in Pre-WW2 Europe. The whole notion of "hands off" global politics is simply flawed.

That said, there are foreign policy issues where we do need a change. Like funding countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.

Israel may be an ally. But doing anything but selling them weapons is a waste of taxpayer money and should not be allowed.

Meanwhile, we are told that the Muslim extremists are jealous of our "freedoms" and as a result have attacked us because of it. I call BS, and so should anyone else with any common sense.

Anyone who uses that line has also NOT done their homework.

An Islamic Caliphate has ALWAYS been the reason for Islamic extremism. It is a dangerous ideological goal that does not intend to win in a decisive victory, but through small and painful cuts on the inside, and brazen spectacular attacks on the periphery.

The threat IS real, and has been largely misrepresented by the media and politicos for a very long time.
