A first step in repealing war authorization to fight "terrorism"

Good first step.

Time to leave this part of the world in the dump, where it belongs - where it wants to be.

Blindsiding leaders in both parties, a House committee on Thursday approved a repeal of the war authorization that the US military relies on to fight the war on terrorism in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and around the globe.

Except for the Israel support I agree as they are part of the problem. We need to stop supporting everyone in that region.

Agreed. The sooner we're off oil the sooner we can put that whole region in a dust bin where it belongs.

Agree on repeal. Don't agree on putting a whole region 'in a dust bin.' We can remain constructively and diplomatically engaged while being more circumspect about how we conduct warfare.
