Jim Webb: Be Careful About Refugees
Democratic presidential hopeful and former Virginia Senator Jim Webb was on my radio show Monday night discussing a wide range of issues.
WEBB: I’ll tell you what we shouldn’t be doing is putting troops on the ground over there and I warned about it beforehand and I was saying Syria is going to be Lebanon on steroids. When I was a journalist in Beirut, you could see the divisions, the historic, thousands of year old divisions in that are in that part of the world. So we should be calling on particularly the Sunni nations in that region to step up and to do more, and also on the refugees situation in Syria, to do more. They’re not doing more, they’re simply trying to drop this on us and I think it’s appropriate for the President today to have said that he will work with the Russians in an attempt to stabilize the situation…
COLMES: Do you believe we should take more refugees in? They say 10,000, is what the White House is saying, should we take more?
WEBB: I think the Saudis should take more. I think people in the region should step up to try to stabilize Syria. And we should be very careful about bringing a large number of refugees here. I say that as someone, my wife is an immigrant and a refugee from the Communist takeover of South Vietnam. We have a large problem in our country right now in terms of resolving the immigration issue. So for those who are truly political refugees in some way affiliated with what we’ve been doing, we should consider that…
COLMES: Does Hillary Clinton have an email problem and could she find herself out of the race because of whatever issues she might be facing?
WEBB: You know I really don’t follow that as closely as you probably do, and that’s something I would leave for her to explain.

I know, that’s where I have to go when I visit Anomaly. I just keep my head down and my mouth shut.

Governor “Kooch” has a distasteful ring, doesn’t it?

Politico rock skipping. I’m a Veteran and Webb harkens back to my Fathers generation of Veterans, not my generation. My Father is a “Reagen Republican”.

i still say alaska would be the best choice if we take on Syrian refugees. Once they drive Sarah Palin nuts Russia is a short boat ride away

laughing so hard. funny thing is, i forget all about alaska when we talk about the US. but, you’re right. it’s not really crowded there, why not? to see her pitch a bitch fit would be awesome.
