#8  Flush the lot? And replace with whom? Better to abolish the departments, fire everyone, then rebuild. Start with the EPA, just eliminate it. Then enact a flat tax and shred the IRS. Break up Homeland Security and take away their MRAPs and assault weapons. etc etc.

#7  a Department that can produce Jen Psaki and Mari Harf as spokesholes is a deep void of ignorant liberal vacuousness. Kerry? Now that's the perfect emblem for State Dept narcissistic stupidity.

Flush the lot

#6  Hopefully the next president will purge the State Department of the pacifists and liberals

By any measure, a herculean task. Cutting off their HIV meds might produce speedier results.

#5  Besoeker,

The liberals have a standard play book and sometimes they use a sledge hammer on that square peg they drive into the round hole.

There were WMD in Iraq, the MSM buried that story and bits and pieces dribble out over time. Thousands of barrels labeled "insecticide" and convoys going into Syria...do you suppose?

And the truck load of chemicals Zarqawi was going to detonate in Amman? Lots of Iraqi insignia on that.

Hopefully the next president will purge the State Department of the pacifists and liberals so we can develop a coherent robust foreign policy. And hopefully we can purge the military of all of those political apparatiks that Obama polluted the senior officer corps with.

#3  I'm basically a stay at home and mind your own business... garden variety isolationist. But if these people are intent upon killing us, why not engage them on ground we've already purchases with much blood and treasure?

Removing Saddam was a righteous cause, and regardless of the chattering, leftest MSM, he did indeed have WMD. We should have never NOT had 'boots on the ground' in Iraq following the end of the conflict. The decision to close the bases was a political decision, not a strategic decision. Anyone who could not have predicted a potential AQ spillover from Syria was not thinking properly, or was thinking properly and intentionally permitted it to happen.
