As I've noted before conservatives are proving these 6 years of Obama that conservatism is nothing but reactionary politics.
They don't tell you too much about what they're for but tell you a lot about what they're against. Mostly there against Obama and anything he's done. One thing he's done is got us out of Iraq.
Predictably Republicans are all trying to outdo each other over who can be the biggest warmonger.
They are livid over Obama''s Iran treaty.

A big part of this is just due to the fact that they don't like diplomacy and the State Department just like Austerians never admit that there is a denominator in debt to GDP ratios.
Now Scott Walker is saying 'We may have to into Iran on day one if I'm President.'
"Walker is also saying that it’s “very possible” the next president will have to take military action on Day One of his presidency — though it’s unclear whether he means against Iran in particular, or more generally."

So Walker is promising to go back to the policies of George W. Bush. Bush begun a long war in Iraq and Walker seems to want a long war in Iran.

In this case, Walker sounds more like Jeb's brother than Jeb himself does.
"The Weekly Standard reports that Bush said this to a voter in Nevada:
“One thing that I won’t do is just say, as a candidate, ‘I’m going to tear up the agreement on the first day.’ That’s great, that sounds great but maybe you ought to check in with your allies first, maybe you ought to appoint a secretary of state, maybe secretary of defense, you might want to have your team in place, before you take an act like that.”
"That was a shot at Walker, who has said he would undo an Iran deal on Day One of his presidency, regardless of what our allies have to say about it. Bush subsequently stood by his remarks, noting that on Day One, he would not yet have had the intelligence briefings required to make an informed decision. Bush added: “If you’re running for president, you know, I think it’s important to be mature and thoughtful about this.”
W would have sounded more like Walker here-'Allies, Schmallies.'
"At a press conference after his appearance at the Family Leader Summit here Saturday, Walker was asked if he thinks Bush is wrong. “He may have his opinion. I believe that a president shouldn’t wait to act until they put a cabinet together or an extended period of time,” Walker said.
“I believe they should be prepared to act on the very first day they take office. It’s very possible – God forbid, but it’s very possible – that the next president could be called to take aggressive actions, including military action, on the first day in office. And I don’t want a president who is not prepared to act on day one. So, as far as me, as far as my position, I’m going to be prepared to be president on day one.”

So much of this talk about 'America's diminishing footprint' comes from a desire for war again like the W years.
