by Congressman Allen West
It was George Santayana who stated, "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." This maxim reigns ever true when we assess the current situation in Libya and Egypt. History taught us from the Carter administration that when you depose a leader in the Middle East you must prepare for who fills the void. Today, we find out radical Islamists stand ready to exploit the gap created. A crazed, maniacal, barbaric, and determined genie is out of the bottle...having nothing to do with a stupid Facebook video. This does however have everything to do with a naïve and failed policy of appeasement, reminiscent of Sir Neville Chamberlain. That is why you MUST study history.

Here, here, well said Allen West. There are lots of leaders who should be listening to your reasoning, unfortunately their heads are too far up their PC arses to hear sense.

The Arab Spring is EXACTLY what the Neocons were attempting to incite with their invasion of Iraq. Uprisings. Revolts. Overthrowing of the old, corrupt regimes.
Now that it is actually happening they want to blame Obama because it can't be controlled from Washington.

@Tanngrisnir3 ...and they defended the pursuit for 7 years - FOX leading the charge. Now they act as if Bush and NeoCons never existed. No more screaming for Regime Change throughout the Middle East.

"The Arab Spring is EXACTLY what the Neocons were attempting to incite with their invasion of Iraq. Uprisings. Revolts. Overthrowing of the old, corrupt regimes."
As told in the book "One Percent Doctrine."
The blaming "Obama" thing is political, just as it was when you blamed Bush for everything.

I've never blamed Bush for everything, Cindy.
Thanks for playing, though.

I thought it was the Bush Admin. that pushed for and defended democracy in the Middle East - Iraq / Syria / Afghanistan...when did you all change your minds?

@aranger45 - I think you are confusing your own fantasies with reality...I do remember G W Bush holding hands and kissing a sheik...Could you be confusing the two?

@stevecore You're talking about retard liberals who are forced to resort to calling TEA Party people terrorists? And, racists. And, the Rep war-on-women. etc. etc. You have to lean on those crutches, because you're desperate. And it won't help you, just like it didn't last time when the Conservative steamrolled you out of office and changed America.

I'm not one to follow the party line.
Obama has been doing a much better job going after terrorists than Bush ever did. Obama's approach is far more sophisticated than Bush's early (years 2001-2005).
What may look like appeasement is really a strategic decision, and is consistent with the American national security strategy.
We are kicking their assess nearly every day. Have faith.
That said, I'll vote for the other guy.

@Nepean109 I know your silly brain dead liberal BS goes over well on retard-bus, but, in the real world you only make yourself look like a moron when you make your same retarded comment over and over without ever even trying to back it up. You don't try, because you don't have a brain. Which is why your a leftist tool in the first place.
What did he lie about tard? This is where you drool on yourself and say something really f'n stupid.
