Reporting from Perry, Iowa— Defending himself against charges of isolationism, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul told voters in Iowa on Thursday that western sanctions against Iran are "acts of war" that are likely to lead to an actual war in the Middle East.

Paul, one of the leading contenders to win next week's Iowa caucuses, said Iran would be justified in responding to the sanctions by blocking the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. He compared the western sanctions to a hypothetical move by China to block the Gulf of Mexico, which Americans would consider an act of war

The actual title:

Ron Paul: Sanctions against Iran are 'acts of war'

Note it is quite different than what you made up and also does not use a numeral as a word.

Now lets not get technical here. You are right but in order for me to post it it was required of me to shorten it. Here is the whole title

[Leader_Of_The _Conservatives]

People like him/her need to distort truths to get their points across. Seems to be a common theme here since Paul is up in polls. No different than the lamestream media

This man is as big a threat to our security as any candidate I’ve ever seen.

” Coo coo for Coco Puffs. “ <<<

I was needing the laugh!! Thanks! His son must be horribly embarrassed for Perils of Paul, the father.

[Sarah Barracuda]

The GOP needs to act fast to get this whack job out of the race. God help us all if this looney tune ends up being the Republican nominee

Watch it, in a few minutes there will be (the few remaining) Paulitards telling you it is all a lie or that he is right and you are just too ignorant to understand the complexity of the Constitution and how Paul thinks...

I suspect anti-Semitites are proud of who they are, at least when they are in their group sessions with their white hoods off.

He is an idiot with zero knowledge of geography. It would be like MEXICO blocking the Gulf of Mexico, not China. Imbecile. And Iran's action affects 8 nations, not one.
