    Our military interference has created more taliban than we’ve killed. There are more terrorists now than on 9/11. If we don’t get out of the Middle East until we defeat the taliban, we will never get out of the Middle East.

      But we have to keep control of the oil in the middle east. The whole world can pull up tankers and fill up there, and nobody goes to war. Both Germany and Japan started WWII over access to oil. Remember when FDR cut off Japan's access to steel and oil and boxed them in?
