Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, one of the many Republicans throwing their hat in the ring for president in 2016, is trying to lay out his foreign policy vision in a new op-ed for FoxNews.com. As with many other Republicans, he’s going full hawk, likely hoping to draw in deep pocket donors looking to bankroll the most hawkish candidates they can find.
Jindal’s strategy is to lay himself out as the candidate of simplicity and bellicose machoism, saying his military strategy could be entirely summed up with the goal to “defeat the terrorists.”
In the op-ed he elaborated, but not too much, railing against President Obama’s call for jobs programs to reduce the ability of terror groups to recruit, demanding Obama “spend less time criticizing America and more time hunting terrorists down and killing them.”
Jindal went on to lash the State Department, 14 years into the global war on terror, for saying “we cannot kill our way out of this war,” a concept Jindal thought “madness,” as he believes that more killing, and only more killing, is the answer.
Jindal seems to be banking on the sheer simplicity of his message, courting hawks on the basis that you simply point the US military at something and yell “kill,” and victory will inevitably follow.
LOL, who?
It's good business isn't it. Going through the motions of running for president, getting millions in donations, traveling around the country, going on TV here and there, and then vanishing back into obscurity several millions richer.
The republicans falling all over themselves as to who will be the number one hawk, including republicrat Clinton, may leave Rand Paul alone against a crowded field. And if body bags start coming home from Mosul they all could be scrambling to differentiate themselves as they back track away from another idiotic war. I haven't voted Republican for president in my life. But if it comes down to Rand Paul against Hlllary the hawk voting for Rand Paul will be easy.
thank you totally in agreement

Piyush "Bobby" Jindal comes from a conservative Indian Hindu family and seems to have a hatred for all things Muslim, something shared by more than a few Hindus in light of the polarization between Muslims and Hindus in India. His "conversion" to Christianity was probably pure opportunism–like everything in his political life.
Jindal better watch himself. His skin color makes him a terrorist by most people in his own party.
Another simplistic jerk looking for handouts from avowed foreign agents who see the world in even more simplistic terms. They pay, so they own. And who owns these deep pocket donors? a state solely interested in its matters for whom the Americans are all goyim! Just remember the joy a certain Middle East leader felt when 9/11 happened. It was GOOD for them, he stated. Voters should be advised who funds who…and run away from jerks like this one.
Geez after Obama, I guess anyone thinks they have a shot at being President, including this guy, whoever the hell he might be.
Well, since he has screwed poor Louisiana ten ways to Sunday, now he thinks(does he?) he can lead the whole damn country. If his "accomplishments" from being our governor here for two terms is any indicator of how he'd do the nation, I hope he goes down in total defeat in the first primaries. He is just a tad more popular than Trump according to a recent poll from Iowa, but NOT as popular as "none of the above". Poor lil' Booby is a total asshat and a damn liar.
If Bobby Jindal screwed up Louisiana, he'll screw up the USA if he's elected. If he live in India and converted to Christianity, Narendra Modi would say he should convert back to Hinduism. He converted to Catholicism since most people in the Greedy Old Party do not like non-Judo – Christian people. He supports profiling of Muslims even if they're brown skinned. He likes Narendra Modi even if he wants India to be 100% Hindu, which is what Jindal no longer is.
