She actually had something that we should all agree with in her foreign policy.
I doubt anyone would actually follow it, because this is actually campaign season. I mean Obama basically said he was going to get the hell out of Afghanistan and Iraq and end Gitmo. None of that is really happening anytime soon. But I would love someone with this foreign policy to emerge as a democrat or republican candidate.
1. "We should only commit our forces when clear & vital American interests are at stake. Period."
2. "If we have to fight, we fight to win. To do that we use overwhelming force. We only send our troops into war with the objective to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible. We do not send our military and stretch out the mission with an open-ended and ill-defined mission. Nation building is a nice idea in theory but, it's not the main purpose of our armed forces. We use our military to win wars."
3. "We must have clearly defined goals & objectives before sending troops into harm's way. If you can't explain the mission to the American people clearly, concisely then our sons & daughters should not be sent into battle. Period."
4. "American soldiers must never be put under foreign command. We will fight side-by-side with our allies but American soldiers must remain under the care and the command of the American officers."
5. "Sending our armed forces should be the last resort; we don't go looking for dragons to slay. However, we will encourage the forces of freedom around the world who are sincerely fighting for the empowerment of the individual. When it makes sense, when it's appropriate, we'll provide them with support and help them win their own freedom. We're not indifferent to the cause of human rights or the desire for freedom. We're always on the side of those. But, we can't fight every war. We can't undo every injustice around the world. But, with strength & clarity in those 5 points we'll make for a safer, more prosperous, more peaceful world because as the U.S. leads by example, as the we support freedom across the globe we're going to prove that free and healthy countries they don't wage war on other free and healthy countries. The stronger we are the stronger and more peaceful the world will be under our example."
Over the last 60 years we've gone into wars without any real goals. Any real clear way to have success. We've basically turned Afghanistan and Iraq into money pits not real wars.
