Washington, D.C. -- Asked on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday ..............

Raddatz asked: “You don’t think 2,000 air strikes is taking it to ISIS in Syria and Iraq?”
................

“I think anywhere and everywhere, we have to be – go beyond just aggressive air strikes. We have to look at other surgical methods. And ultimately, we have to be prepared to put boots on the ground if that’s what it takes.”

Raddatz asked: “U.S. boots on the ground in Syria?”

Walker responded, “I don’t think that is an immediate plan,” and added, “I wouldn’t rule anything out. I think when you have the lives of Americans at stake and our freedom loving allies anywhere in the world, we have to be prepared to do things that don’t allow those measures, those attacks, those abuses to come to our shores.”.......

This is no surprise.

1. I hate that man.

2. There you go, America. You want the self motivated scumbag in charge of deploying

you military serving children?

3. There's a lot of time between now and November 2016.

I'm going to give him a break here... we don't know what the world will be like when the next President of the United States takes office in 2017. It's possible that Obama might have to put boots in Syria before then.

However Mr. Walker's statement says to me is that he is the kind of guy who would send in US troops to a place where we shouldn't be. I don't know if it's on a Bush/Cheney level but it's obviously more willing than Obama.

Which means: find someone more suitable to the office of the President and work to get that individual elected, along with an appropriate running mate.

4. Well, he thinks teachers are qualified simply by life experience regardless of teaching ability.

He must think that dividing and conquering the state of Wisconsin makes him knowledgeable about foreigh affairs.

5. He hasn't a clue what that would actually mean...

or, worse, he does and still doesn't care.

9. His first trip outside the bubble

And he exposed himself as a fool who can only repeat talking points. I watched the video of the interview and it turns out he's even dumber than I thought. The clumsy attempt at name dropping (Kissinger, et al) to imply he has foreign policy credibility was priceless. Of course the other fools, as well as those who profit by his position of power, will spin the exposure of his incompetence as an attack by the socialist/communist/leftist media.

7. "Hey, Scott. This is Angela Merkel"

"A bunch of us are planning on bombing Putin-but the in the middle, so it won't hurt us or you" "Ya want in?" "We can get you a trip to Cali when we're done..."

8. I have a question

Could Scotty find Syria on a world map?

This is one (of many) things that worry me about the uneducated and anti-education governor of Wisconsin. Does he even have a remote CLUE where he'd be sending these troops?

[lutefisk]

10. No, but the people who pull his strings do

He's not there to think, he's there to carry out others' wishes in exchange for being given the opportunity to play out his Ronald Reagan fantasy. The powers behind the scenes don't want to bankroll anyone who might question their orders. Think how much he has in common with George W. Bush- both men are dickish sociopaths of sub-standard intelligence. No conscience or critical thinking abilities to get in the way of doing the dirty work asked of them as soulless front men for the military industrial complex.

11. Soulless sociopath

That pretty much sums it up. As much as Christie and Kasich scare me, Scotty scares me even more.
