You can agree or disagree with Paul as to whether the invasion of Iraq was an action of self-defense by the US...obviously Paul does not believe it was...and, to me, the position that the US was under some sort of imminent threat from Saddam that justifies a US invasion is hard to make

Bush didn't make the argument either and American Presidents do not swear oaths to international law. Ron Paul was an embarassment to any conservative last night. International Law justifies our return to Iraq since Hussein broke the terms of surrender. "Neocons" did not authorize the war in Iraq or Afghanistan, Congress did. When Congress authorizes war that is a de facto declaration. Ron Paul should go back to the Libertarian Party where he belongs.

Curiously Ru isn’t so concerned about the letter of the Constitution when it comes to earmarks for the wild shrimping industry.
