My issue was with you and the other Ron-Paul-bots' desire to surrender to the terrorists. I believe I have discerned your stance on that.
I find it insulting to our troops and lacking in insight and honor.
Do you realize what kind of message our surrendering to the terrorists would send to the world and particularly to al Qaeda and other terror groups? Has that struck you at all?
Spending American Blood and Treasure to prop up an Islamic Theocracy in Iraq which legally defines Christianity as a Second-Class Religion and which includes a convicted US Embassy Bomber in their Ruling Coalition -- IS "surrendering to the terrorists".
According to the 2002 State of the Union Address, the United States MUST NOT give Military and Financial Support to any Nation which Knowingly and Willfully HARBORS TERRORISTS.
Well, the "democratically elected" Islamic Thug-ocracy of Iraq is guilty of EXACTLY that -- they have knowingly and willfully harbored self-confessed, and even convicted, Anti-American Terrorists (including a convicted US Embassy Bomber!) in their RULING COALITION!
According to the Principles laid down in the 2002 State of the Union Address, therefore, we must not provide any more Military and Financial support whatsoever to the Terrorist Islamic Regime of Iraq.
Ergo, Ron Paul is Right.
This war is good for buisness isn’t it Allegra?
Especially those in the buisness of Defense contractor in Procurement and Logistics in Iraq. Vote your pocketbook.
Tell me what victory in Iraq will look like???
Sunni and Shia Muslims holding hands with Turkish Kurds and singing kumbaya? A government headed by mainly Shia Muslims with known links to Iran and using a Constitution based on Shria Law? What are we defending that is American in Iraq?
The oil?
