and as this video highlights, that’s where the White House has left us in Afghanistan, with real and deleterious consequences:
For my part, I think pulling out of Afghanistan and abandoning our allies to the Taliban would be a mistake—but better that than leaving our troops twisting in the wind. Better just to yank the tooth and get it over with than to let it rot in place like this. Macbeth’s comment is not exactly to the point, but seems apposite to me nevertheless:
If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well
It were done quickly.

Holy crap. The post you linked to blames the Democratic Party for the genocide in Cambodia.
That's as disgusting as it is absurd, and definitely turned me off to reading the rest of the post.
Is this David L. Riddick one of the morons who thinks Obama is a fascist?
No, it blames the actions of Congress (which, yes, was under Democratic control, but was not by any means identical with the Democratic Party–nor were Democrats all of one mind on foreign policy) for the abandonment of Indochina which led to the Cambodian genocide. Way to miss the point of the post, btw.
As for Obama being a fascist, it's OT, but as a matter of economic theory, here's Dr. Thomas Sowell: "Socialists believe in government ownership of the means of production. Fascists believed in government control of privately owned businesses, which is much more the style of this government. That way, politicians can intervene whenever they feel like it and then, when their interventions turn out badly, summon executives from the private sector before Congress and denounce them on nationwide television."
