[PJ Media] The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee warned that dangerous non-interventionism has taken root in segments of both the right and the left, saying he intends to focus on spreading an "articulate, dogged, national message" against isolationism when he leaves Congress at the end of this term.
Yes, but since we've hardly gone 5 consecutive years without one since the end of WWII, people are quite tired of feckless interventions, financial costs, and the butchers bill of war.
Seven-term Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), a former FBI agent, announced at the end of March that he would leave office at the conclusion of the 113th Congress to focus on a broadcasting career.
'Broadcasting career' or DoD spending and contracting advocate? You decide.
Rogers began a summer speaking series this week speaking to the Business Executives for National Security in Washington, which gave the chairman its Eisenhower Award.
He noted that when Dwight D. Eisenhower first ran for president in 1952, he squared off against an isolationist Republican in a primary -- Senator Robert Taft from Ohio, son of President William Howard Taft.
By the time he left office, Ike was quite concerned about the growing "Military and Industrial Complex." [See para 3 above and target of Rogers' first speaking engagement]. Over the course of his life, General Eisenhower had seen a gut full of war, conflict, and death. Congressman Mike Rogers, not so much.
