Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

France's president says he has agreed to the Iraqi government's request for air support for forces fighting the jihadist group, Islamic State (IS).
 
Francois Hollande told reporters that French air strikes would only target the jihadist group's positions in Iraq, and not neighbouring Syria.
 
He also insisted that he would not send ground troops.
 
France is already carrying out reconnaissance flights over Iraq and providing weapons to Kurdish fighters.

wvit1001 --- I just hope that CODE PINK is OK with this, lest the French find themselves in trouble with the anti-war left-wing of the U.S. Democratic Party!

that's why we are sending troops to train them to defend their own countries.  having US troops there only antagonizes the situation.

we were in Afganistan and Iraq so long that the original reason for our being there was long lost, the men we were fighting were merely children when our troops first arrived.

BARACK OBAMA: THE WAR WE NEED TO WIN

BarackObama.com

http://obama.3cdn.net/417b7e6036dd852384_luzxmvl09.pdf



In 2007, Senator Obama gave a major address and outlined his views on the war in Afghanistan. In that speech he contrasted the war there with the war in Iraq, noting that he supported the war in afghanistan from the start and opposed the war in Iraq. He stated that the war in Afghanistan was a war we need to win and outlined a five point strategy:

getting out of Iraq and into Afghanistan

developing the capabilities and partnerships we need to take out the terrorists and the world's most deadly weapons

engaging the world to dry up support for terror and extremism

restoring our values

securing a more resilient homeland

These basic premises was carried throughout the campaign. Senator Obama repeated in speeches, debates, and campaign events that the war in Afghanistan was a just war and needed to be won. He stated that the at least two additional brigades were needed in Afghanistan and a large increase in civilian help and infrastructure building was needed.

Senator Obama continually linked Afghanistan with Pakistan during the campaign. He repeatedly asserted that the safe have in Pakistan for our enemy was preventing a victory in Afghanistan. He stated that if targets were available in Pakistan and the Pakistani government was unwilling to react, he would move as President to destroy those assets.

In February of 2009, President Obama announced that an additional two brigades would be going to Afghanistan. A month after that, President Obama announced a new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan.


An Attainable Objective

disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda and its safe havens

A Regional Approach

view Pakistan and Afghanistan as the same area

 Good for France. The decent people of France had better be prepared to crush the barbaric Muslim insurgency that will occur there because of this.
