Just saw Ron Paul on MS-NBC.
Is he dishonest or just a nut?
He actually claims that our fighting abroad against Islamist terrorists is the result of “neo-conservatives,” who have infested the Republicans from the extreme left of the Democrat party.
Get real, Paul. We don’t live in a world of 1700’s technology, anymore.
Ron Paul is right.
But he is right. Think about it. We had an act of war done upon us in what was supposed to be a friendly nation. That nation has yet to turn over the bombers of the Cole. Yemen has more ties to Bin Ladden than Iraq did and other nations were a bigger threat. Bush was itching for Iraq before 9/11. Once he got us there I honestly think he was clueless as to what to do. What did he do? He turned what should have been strictly a military mission based solely on the interest of the United States into a U.N. police action and nation building project. In 2000 second debate Boston BUSH LIED concerning nation building.
Bush turned the war in Iraq over to the state department. The results are soldiers having their hands tied with liberals R.O.E. and used being used as police and the peace corp. If Bush wanted to rebuild Iraq he should have hired Jimmy Carter to build them new buildings and left the troops out of it. Bush has set the next Radical Cleric installed Dictator to be far stronger and much greater threat than Saddam. Bush Iraq policy stinks.
Our military is stretched to the max and long over extended. It's needs a major overhaul and Bush can't stop pushing his stinking sell us out to Mexico and family friend China trade deals long enough to do the job.
