Related: About this forumWalker embraces Bush failed and disastrous Preemptive War Policy, with Dumb Ron Johnson's support.
"If there ever was a failed policy, and an outright scary one at that, it was the Bush/Cheney preemptive war policy. It made the U.S. the global bully. It also went horribly wrong, spreading al Qaeda throughout Iraq and spin off groups like ISIS.
What, learn from the past...never!!! Scott Walker apparently wasn't paying attention when we were fighting two wars on the credit card, a common problem on the right, where petty distractions have run amok.
Walker made it clear, preemptive, never ending war is coming. Walker mentioned watching the horrific ISIS videos. Maybe it's just me, but I never felt the need to watch a caged prisoner burned to death or get others get beheaded. Guys like Scott Walker had to watch, and take in the moment. And like your typical conservative terror junkie, it motivated him to breathlessly fear monger an already paranoid tea party gun toting audience.
While Sen. Tom Cotton thinks bombing Iran, for just a couple of days is cool (it won't result in any kind of military blowback?), our own frightened Dumb Ron Johnson is taking Walker's side; war, war, war. Wipe ISIS off the map:"

One more thing: what do you think Walker means when he says "take the fight to them?"

They really are unified on this war/no war thing... What a bunch of idiots.

"pre-emptive" war, trickle down/ supply side econ, austerity, vouchers...the list goes on and on. None of it ever works, and yet they go back to it again and again and again.

That's right, he wants to bomb the living piss out of Iran. I am very confident that Iran is at the top of Squatty's "Who to Bomb" list.

He must be talking about sending the State Patrol or the Capitol Police, because he's just a governor.
