I don’t think Congress has passed a meaningful law since the beginning of the year. That’s eight months! Good gracious alive, I know what we should be thinking, “Why are we paying them?” Has the world come to a stop? Are all the good laws already on the books? Can this group not think of…

I was against the wars of choice in Afghanistan and Iraq from the outset. I said then that we no longer have theaters of war, we have suburban, mall-size, multiplexes of wars, none of which we should be in. And we never know when we are done because we have no clear objective. Yet again,…
