What Ron Paul understands is that (1) that Congress should have declared war against Iraq...or refused to do so...so that Democrats could not now try to offer weasely explanations as to why they supported a resolution giving the President the sole authority to decide if, when and how we would attack Iraq AND (2) the action in Iraq has made the threat of Islamofacism worse...at least accrding to the Presdident's own Intelligence Estimate last year
Ron Paul deserves praise for consistently standing against this hare-brained scheme in Iraq that has, at the cost of hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of American troops' lives, done nothing but made a kingmaker out of Iran in that area and increased the recruitment of jihadists around the world (again, according the Presdident's own Intelligence Estimate last year)
As for voting with the Democrats...my opinions won't be influenced by what the contemptible, opportunitistic Democrats think or do...I frankly couldn't care less how they vote...I'm only interested (and I believe Ron Paul is only interested) in the interested in what is best for America...and, on Iraq, Ron Paul was right...its time for some of my holdout conservative compatriot brothers to recognize this
and, on Iraq, Ron Paul was right...its time for some of my holdout conservative compatriot brothers to recognize this
I do, but I think it's too late now, we have to see this through, plus that oil money should be ours until our cost of this war has been paid back. I think that's a very fair trade for funding the Iraqi people's revolution.
I agree. Most of the Republicans in Congress have leapfrogged to the left of the Democrats on foreign policy and, effectively, on spending under the Bush administration.
