Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute on the folly of foreign entanglements…

We’re out of Iraq now.  We won the war, but we’ll quickly lose the peace.  It was unraveling before our troops closed the last door on the last outpost.  Fantasies on creating Democracy had the longevity of containing a handful of sand.  Afghanistan will be no different.  For a front row seat to that absurdity, talk with the family of former Afghan President Rabbani, the deceased head of their High Peace Council.  He was taken out by two Taliban hoods visiting as fantasy peace emissaries.  Their bombs went unnoticed. Just like the fact we’re pretending to negotiate a responsible settlement with the same players on the future of Afghanistan.  You can’t negotiate with insanity.  You can only pretend until you tip toe away.  That’s what we’re doing, and we’re sacrificing our young to prop up the charade.  Conservative thinkers do not support military adventurism.  They recognize it as the real enemy of a strong defense – and our children.

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid conservative…
