I'm not sure I agree with him on this. When I see his comments on foreign policy and terrorism, I understand why his detractors call him "Wrong Paul."

Of course, maybe we should have captured this guy, sent hi to club Gitmo and found out what he was planning. Using a drone airstrike doesn't do much for intelligence gathering.

Well... we can just say we attacked the other members of his convoy and Awlaki was at the “wrong place at the wrong time.”

Collateral damage... it’s not like we’re talking about a human.

I used to say “Ron Paul is a NUT!” But this latest statement proves “Ron Paul is a raving lunatic!”

You’re not sure that the federal government can kill any American citizen who has not even been charged in a court?!

“Nobody knows if he ever killed anybody,”...

Right, and if Hitler had survived to stand trial, his defense would have been "I neffer killed anyvun, I vas only giffing orders"!

It is the DUTY of the MILITARY and
But then
Senate:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
Military:
I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” – from the U.S. military officer oath

THE OATH:
The text of the Constitutional Oath is not written in the Constitution, but the current oath was enacted by Congress in 1862. “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

APPARENTLY PAUL AND THE PAULETTES DON’T FOLLOW THE OATH.

dOES THIS MEAN SINCE pAUL REPUDIATES HIS OATH OF OFFICE HE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM CONGRESS. jUS SAYIN’

Maybe Ron Paul could change his name to Antiwar al-waki. I hope some asks him about this in the next debate. Popcorn.
