Just because he is right twice per day like a broken clock, is no reason to support the balance of his agenda.
I can't, and won't.
To: dirtboy
Dirtboy, I've respected your posts for a long time. One question: Now that Saddam Hussein is DEAD, do you believe that the Federal Government should spend hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of American Lives to provide military and financial support to an Iraqi Government which is dominated by Islamic Terrorist Parties who attacked our Embassies and murdered hundreds of United States Marines in cold blood? Yes, or No?

The Libertarian Party opposes all restrictions on immigration. Why was he the Libertarian nominee for president if he was against open borders?
To: jrooney
Exactly. I don't mind if he runs, I just hope he doesn't run for his House Seat at the same time so we can get rid of him.
To: Cold Heat
Just because he is right twice per day like a broken clock, is no reason to support the balance of his agenda. I can't, and won't. It's frankly amazing to me how:
"Continuing to provide Military and Financial support to an Iraqi Government which is dominated by Islamic Terrorists who attacked our Embassies and murdered hundreds of US Marines" is something which:
- A.) Some FReepers actually SUPPORT; and...
- B.) Trumps EVERY other Issue in importance -- Pro-Life, Taxes, Guns, Immigration, everything combined!
Bizarro World.

Cui bono. And the NYT has been thoroughly discredited on its Iraq reporting. This is not hard to understand, because wars sell papers.
Iraq had no enriched uranium.

The Libertarian Party opposes all restrictions on immigration. Why was he the Libertarian nominee for president if he was against open borders?Because he is resoundingly against Big Government across the board.
Ron Paul is also 100% Pro-Life, also; but the generally pro-abortion Libertarians supported him anyway because he is just so tremendously anti-Socialist.

Also, a vote by Congress to authorize military force is equivalent to a declaration of war as far as I'm concerned.

"Iraq had no enriched uranium."
Yes they did. 1.77 tons that we removed.

You are having a tough time selling those DNC talking points here.

"Congress should give the President full warmaking authority, rather than binding him with resolutions designed to please our UN detractors." -- Ron Paul
Can't parse that.

Iran won't fall into chaos. It is a cohesive nation whose people identify strongly as Iranian. Again, the Bush administration is relying on tiny dissident groups who come here so we'll pay them to tell us what we want to hear. If they enjoyed popular support they'd be in Iran, not here.
The price of oil, btw, will skyrocket. And unless you're willing to bomb the place into glass (and we aren't), all the bombs and planes in the world won't hold territory.

Now that Saddam Hussein is DEAD, do you believe that the Federal Government should spend hundreds of billions of dollars...
No I don't. I thought we won or at least obtained our objectives, meaning no more Saddam and verified no WMDs. From what I can tell we are trying to referee a rock fight with no dog in the fight. I don't care if the Mideast breaks into war with the Iranians on one side and George Bush's friends, the terror sponsoring Saudis on the other side. In fact our CIA should be trying to get the fight going. Please add me to the Ron Paul Ping List.

When Ron had the chance to vote for the Iraq War Resolution, he voted "no." When Ron had the chance to vote for the troops and the surge to win in Iraq, he voted "no." He is a coward and not worthy to shine the boots of our brave troops.

Read that article more carefully. The US removed the same slop the IAEA had already identified. Nothing even approaching weapons grade.
Along with a bunch of "radioactive sources" available at your local hospital too.
To: dirtboy
Yes. If we leave Iraq, we will have to go back to a far worse situation later. Imagine al Qaeda with oil revenues.As opposed to Al Dawa and SCIRI with oil revenues? These people have attacked our Embassies and murdered hundreds of US Marines; what makes them Angels?
They're all rabid dogs as far as I'm concerned. But I respect your polite disagreement and wish you well.
