Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker wouldn't rule out reinvasion of Iraq
Wisconsin
Gov. Scott Walker says he wouldn’t rule out a full-blown re-invasion of
Iraq if he were to become the next commander-in-chief. The likely
Republican presidential candidate and early frontrunner in several polls
said he would consider a re-invasion if it were deemed necessary to
protect American national security at home and abroad. Walker has been

scope but also qualified that he does not believe in “open-ended,
limitless engagements.” Though he has been sparse in offering specific
changes to U.S. policy in the fight against ISIS, the likely
presidential candidate said he has been deepening his understanding of
international affairs in recent months.Read More ...
