PAWLENTY: THE QUIET WACKO

(h/t Kyle at Right Wing Watch)

I've posted some of his extremist positions and this one may be the most troubling.  When asked about Reagan's decision to withdraw from Lebanon, this is what TPaw said:
“I guess I would go back and say that my view, without referencing a particular president, is that once the United States commits to a mission, it’s really important that we prevail. Because when you don’t, it diminishes the respect and credibility and awe that other people view the United States with."
So if we make a committment and later decide that it was unwise, we can't change course no matter what.

Reagan admitted it was his biggest mistake of the presidency. Yeah, running a barrier for Israel always has been a mistake.
