IRAQ CAN SAVE REPUBLICANS IN 2016

The Right Report
First off I want to thank David for allowing me to contribute to the great foundation that he set up here on The Right Report.  I could not be more excited to put my "two cents" in on many of the issues that David and I have talked about and are going to share with you. Although I agree on majority of the basic principles that are in politics today, David and I differ on the finer details, which will be fun for us and you as readers. 

Iraq may play perfectly into the Republican campaign for the 2016 election.  The ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and Islamic State) with it's violent executions and downright brutality in Iraq have backed the President up against the ropes.  His already weak foreign policy is under the microscope again.  The U.S. Military recently rescued 20,000 Yazidi Iraqi's with a series of airstrikes.  This is exactly why troops are necessary in foreign countries.  The people need help defending against these attacks, not to mention the food, and water needed for when they are stranded in the desert fleeing for their lives.  It sounds crazy with the media making it sound like everyone is thrilled when the President announced troops coming home, however the American public does not like to run from a fight.  That's what the Republicans need to make one of their leading stances.  We will not run from conflict, because that is what makes America great!  We may take it to extremes, but I'd take participating much over sitting out any day of the week.  With the stance that bringing the troops home would make the United States vulnerable and weak, (which it will), Republicans may grab a lot of those blue collar, "put your hard hat on and go to work", votes that Democrats seem to always receive.  Not to mention the most powerful tool in an election is Nationalism.  Pure passion for your country.  If you think that bringing troops home to sit and wait shows your country and its people that there is no better place on Earth than America, you're kidding yourself.  We need presence in these countries, and if the Republicans can bring that passion in 2016, I think it will be a great start.
